Moenchengladbach’s Marco Reus (R) and Schalke’s Jermaine Jones<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A double by Marco Reus inspired Borussia Moenchenglabach to a 3-1 victory over holders Schalke 04 on Wednesday in their German Cup Last 16 clash.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old, who had been an injury doubt prior to the match, was in superb form as Moenchenglabach – who are fourth in the Bundesliga – continued their stunning start to the season just months after a goal by Reus saved them from the drop in a play-off.<\/p>\n

Schalke hardly helped themselves by finishing the match with nine men as Dutch star Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Jermaine Jones were sent off.<\/p>\n

Earlier Fourth Division side Holstein Kiel created the upset of the Round of 16 when they beat Bundesliga outfit Mainz 2-0.<\/p>\n

An own goal by Mainz’s Nigerian star Anthony Ujah in the sixth minute and a 64th minute strike by Steve Muller saw Holstein into the quarter-finals and outstrip Second Division Greuther Furth’s 1-0 win over another Bundesliga side Nuremberg on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Wednesday Hertha Berlin shrugged off the ugly sacking of Markus Babbel on Sunday with a 3-1 victory over relegation-threatened rivals Kaiserslautern.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund reached the quarter-finals but only after scraping past lower-league opposition.<\/p>\n

Bayern needed an injury-time strike from Dutch winger Arjen Robben to win 2-1 at second division Bochum, while champions Dortmund won 5-4 on penalties at Fortuna Duesseldorf, also of the second tier.<\/p>\n

Bochum midfielder Giovanni Federico had given the hosts a shock lead against Bayern on 26 minutes but Toni Kroos levelled seven minutes into the second period after linking well with Mario Gomez.<\/p>\n

Jupp Heynckes’s Bavarians had to scrap against an enthusiastic young Bochum side but Franck Ribery finally unlocked the door in setting up Robben’s 91st-minute winner.<\/p>\n

Dortmund were reduced to ten men following the first-half sending-off of Patrick Owomoyela, and were pushed all the way by their hosts, who are top of the second division.<\/p>\n

However, Dortmund ‘keeper Roman Weidenfeller saved from Thomas Broeker in the shoot-out, and Ivan Perisic went on to score the decisive kick to take the Bundesliga champions through.<\/p>\n
