Berlin, Feb 3, 2021 (AFP) - RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg moved into the quarter-finals of the German Cup on Wednesday thanks to respective wins over second-tier side Bochum and struggling Schalke.
Leipzig beat Bochum 4-0 thanks to Amadou Haidara's 10th-minute header, a penalty slammed home in first-half stoppage time by Marcel Sabitzer, who had laid on the opener with a pinpoint cross, and Yussuf Poulsen's second-half brace.
Wout Weghort's 40th-minute strike, which came from the rebound of the Netherlands attacker's own missed penalty, was enough for Wolfsburg to squeeze past fellow Bundesliga outfit Schalke.
Christian Gross' Schalke must now turn their attentions to what looks to be a doomed fight against relegation as they sit rock-bottom in the German top flight with just one league win all season.
