Berlin, Jan 20: Union Berlin delivered another demoralizing blow to city rival Hertha Berlin by dumping its neighbour out of the German Cup with a 3-2 away win in the round of 16.
Goals from Andreas Voglsammer and Robin Knoche, and an own-goal from Hertha defender Niklas Stark, sent Union through to the quarterfinals – and two wins from reaching the final in the same stadium.
Earlier, Borussia Mönchengladbach was knocked out in a 3-0 loss at second-division Hannover.
Gladbach defeated Bayern Munich 5-0 in the previous round. Leipzig substitute Dani Olmo scored to seal a 2-0 win over second-division Hansa Rostock.
Also, Freiburg won 4-1 at Hoffenheim to reach the quarterfinals. (AP)
