German-born Ghanaian defender Francis Adomah had how German Cup dreams evaporated on Monday night after his BFC Dynamo side slipped to a 2-0 home defeat against Bundesliga giants Schalke 04.
The 25-year-old central defender played the entire 90 minutes at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark as Ukrainian Yevhen Konoplyanka scored a second-half brace to secure progress for the Royal Blues.
Adomah started his career at the youth side of Hamburg SV and lasted two seasons at the club but failed to progress through the senior ranks.
He has played his entire career in the German Rehionalliga.
