THIRD-TIER FC Madgeburg's fans put on a terrifying show ahead of their clash with German giants Borussia Dortmund.
The home supporters tested the mettle of Peter Bosz's side with flags, burning flares and an intimidating recreation of the mask from Jigsaw.
With the odds stacking firmly in the favour of the Bundesliga side, the 3. Liga side had to use every tactic possible to stand a chance.
A banner hanging below the fan reads: 'You think it's all over, but the games have only begun.'
However, the German giants blistered past the third division side to progress to the third round of the German Cup.
Gonzalo Castro, Alexander Isak, Andriy Yarmolenko, Marc Bartra and Shinji Kagawa struck to finish the game 5-0.
Magdeburg entered the DFB Cup Second Round fixture on the back off a 2-0 win against first division Fc Augsburg.
The Bundesliga outfit started the fixture with a point to prove after only executing a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.
The two sides have met just once in their history - back in August 2007.
Dortmund triumphed 4-1 in the first round of the Pokal after entering the tie as favourites.
BVB ace and Germany international Marcel Schmelzer was born in Magdeburg, before joining the German giants at under-19 level.
Magdeburg fans also hit the headlines when they found a hilarious way to help their side escape a tedious goal drout.
Fans stood behind the goal holding bright arrows in a desperate bid to help their strikers find the net.
