Bayern marches on in DFB-Pokal, Dortmund needs penalties

Berlin - Bayern Munich reached the third round of the German Cup with a 3-1 win over FC Augsburg on Wednesday while second-division Union Berlin took injury-hit Borussia Dortmund to penalties.

Goals by Philipp Lahm, Julian Green and David Alaba sealed Bayern's win at the Allianz Arena, while Borussia, last season's finalist, endured nervous moments before beating Union 3-0 in a shoot-out after the match finished 1-1 in Dortmund.

In Munich, Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti rested a host of stars for Saturday's away Bundesliga clash - also against Augsburg - and next Tuesday's Champions League clash at PSV Eindhoven.

Alaba, Holger Badstuber, Arjen Robben, Arturo Vidal, Xabi Alonso and Robert Lewandowski were all on the bench while U.S. striker Green made a rare start.

Bayern went ahead with two minutes gone when Thomas Muller fed Lahm and the Bayern captain drilled home his shot.

Muller then floated in the cross which Green headed home to make it 2-0 on 41 minutes.

Bayern defender Mats Hummels conceded a penalty on Augsburg midfielder Gojko Kacar, but Manuel Neuer came to the rescue when Germany's goalkeeper saved Koo Ja-Cheol's spot kick on 49 minutes.

Augsburg pulled a goal back on the counter attack when Ji Dong-Won cut in and blasted his shot home from a tight angle on 69 minutes.

But Alaba came on with five minutes to go and rifled home Bayern's third in the 94th minute to settle the result.

Dortmund, missing a host of injured stars like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus, went through after a scare.

Dortmund took the lead thanks to a first-half own goal from ex-Dortmund defender Michael Parensen, but Union striker Steven Skrzybski leveled with nine minutes left

Goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller was Dortmund's hero with two saves in the shoot-out, while Ousmane Dembele, Matthias Ginter and Mario Gotze netted their spot-kicks.
