An early Michael Ballack header and a last-gasp Roy Makaay penalty sent Bayern Munich through to the German Cup final with a 2-0 win at Arminia Bielefeld on Wednesday.
Bayern, who have a six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga, will face Schalke in the final at the rebuilt Olympic Stadium in Berlin on May 28. Schalke beat Werder Bremen 5-4 on penalties in the first semi-final on Tuesday. Ballack nodded in a Bastian Schweinsteiger corner in the third minute but Bielefeld were on top for much of the rest of a tense semi-final and Bayern needed two outstanding saves from Oliver Kahn to stay ahead.
Makaay clinched victory, and kept Bayern on course for a
domestic double, with his penalty in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Bielefeld's South African striker Delron Buckley was sent off after the penalty decision.
