BERLIN (AFP) - Bundesliga league leaders Bayern Munich booked their place in the German Cup's quarter-finals with a convincing 5-2 win at third division minnows Wuppertal on Tuesday night.
With four third round ties played on Tuesday night, Germany striker Miroslav Klose scored twice in the first half for Bayern, but the hosts equalised twice to make it 2-2 at half-time. Bayern's Belgian defender Daniel van Buyten netted on 50 minutes, before Italian World Cup winner Luca Toni put the result beyond doubt with a fourth goal and Hamit Altintop completed the rout with a fifth two minutes from time. Bayern's league rivals Werder Bremen crashed out of the German Cup when they were beaten 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund when Italian midfielder Giovanni Federico and Spanish striker Diego Klimowicz scored either side of half-time for the hosts. Bremen's Brazilian midfielder Diego hit a late penalty for the guests, but it was too little, too late. Second-division 1860 Munich enjoyed a stunning fight back when they scored three goals in just six minutes as they turned a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 win at Alemannia Aachen and sealed the win two minutes from time. Hosts Aachen were cruising into the last eight with a 2-0 lead late in the game, but Munich's Danny Schwarz led the fight back on 83 minutes before striker Mustafa Kucukovic put them level on 85 minutes and midfielder Fabian Johnson hit the winner two minutes from time. Second division Hoffenheim claimed the scalp of Bundesliga strugglers Hansa Rostock with a comfortable 2-1 win. In Wednesday night's four remaining third-round matches, there is an all-Bundesliga clash between VfL Wolfsburg and Schalke 04, while last year's finalists VfB Stuttgart take on Werder Bremen's reserves. Second division strugglers Carl Zeiss Jena take on first division Arminia while Hamburg are at third division Rot-Weiss Essen. |
