What an historic evening! Werder Bremen have booked their spot in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals after a sensational, pulsating victory against Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund. The Green-Whites won 4-2 on penalties after the match ended 3-3 in front of 83,365 fans in Dortmund. Milot Rashica fired the visitors in front inside five minutes, before BVB captain Marco Reus leveled on the stroke of half time from a free kick. With the tie hanging in the balance, Dortmund twice took the lead in extra time through Christian Pulisic (105') and Achraf Hakimi (113'), but the resilient Werder side fought back both times to level through substitutes Claudio Pizarro (108') and Martin Harnik (119'). Jiri Pavlenka saved BVB's first two penalties to hand Kohfeldt's men the advantage and it was captain Max Kruse who eventually sealed the emphatic win.
