· Bundesliga-Official
Marcel Sabitzer scored a stoppage-time free kick as Borussia Dortmund edged a thrilling DFB Cup second-round tie against Bundesliga rivals Werder Bremen.
Goals: 1-0 Guirassy 6’ (assist: Ryerson), 2-0 Chukwuemeka 17’ (assist: Bellingham), 2-1 Füllkrug 65’ (pen), 2-2 Füllkrug 69’ (assist: Lynen), 3-2 Sabitzer 90’+3
This DFB Cup second-round meeting followed a 2-2 Bundesliga draw between the sides earlier in the season , a game in which Bremen overturned a two-goal deficit. The two clubs had also met in the cup before, with Bremen winning 3-2 in the last-16 back in February 2020.
Niko Kovač made four changes to his side from the win over Eintacht Frankfurt , with Ramy Bensebaini suspended, while Daniel Thioune also rotated four players for Bremen, dropping ex-Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug to the bench.
