Schalke and Muslic out! Dresden wins cup fight

Second-division side Dynamo Dresden are in the round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal! Coach Thomas Stamm's team defeated Bundesliga club FC Schalke 04 2-0 in front of their home crowd.

For Schalke, ÖFB players Dejan Ljubicic, who is back in the squad after his knee injury, and Junior Adamu remained on the bench initially. Maximilian Wöber was absent due to a thigh injury he sustained in training about a week ago.

For the hosts, defender Ahmet Muhamedbegovic watched from the bench at the start.

After a turbulent opening phase with offensive moments on both sides, the game mainly took place between the penalty boxes.

Just before halftime, former Salzburg player Hwang had a chance to make it 1-0 with a header, but Dresden goalkeeper Grill saved (45').

Dynamo with the late decision

The second half starts perfectly for SGE: After former Klagenfurt player Straudi's assist, Covic secures the 1-0 lead for the hosts (52').

Bobzien, another former Klagenfurt player in Dresden's ranks, also creates danger (72'). Shortly after, Schalke's Dzeko misses the equalizer (74').

Shortly before, Ljubicic was substituted in for S04 (70'), with Adamu (77') and Muhamedbegovic (82') also entering the game.

However, the lucky punch for the Bundesliga side never materializes. Instead, Dynamo secures the decision. Daferner scores from a corner to make it 2-0 at full time (88').

Stuttgart celebrates in stoppage time

The match between SC Paderborn and Champions League participant VfB Stuttgart initially seemed headed for extra time.

However, Undav scored in stoppage time (90'+1) to send VfB into the round of 16. Paderborn had been playing with ten men since the 37th minute after Curda received a red card.
