Holders Bayern Munich reached the German Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 win at Augsburg on Wednesday, but star winger Arjen Robben suffered a painful knee injury. The 29-year-old scored four minutes into Bayern's third-round tie but had to be stretchered off 12 minutes later having been sent tumbling by Augsburg goalkeeper Marwin Hitz. His replacement Thomas Mueller scored Bayern's second, heading home 12 minutes from time to put Pep Guardiola's side into the last eight. Eintracht Frankfurt's ex-Real Madrid and Spain Under-21 forward Joselu scored a hat-trick in their 4-2 win at home to second-division Sandhausen.
The "factory-teams" Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg had to do hard work to precede to quarterfinals. The Champions-League-participant by the river Rhine won at SC Freiburg 2-1 (1-1) thank to a quick goal by Robbie Kruse (1) and Emre Can (77). Meanwhile Matthias Ginter scored the equalizer for the unlucky hosts who were dominating most time of the match. Wolfsburg, winning 2-1 (0-1), benefited not only from the goals of Naldo (66) and Ivica Olic but also from two bitter mistakes of second division team FC Ingolstadt's keeper Ramazan Özcan. Former Wolfsburg's player Caiuby (17) scored for the Bavarians.
