Astoria Walldorf 1-1 Arminia Bielefeld (Bielefeld won 5-4 on pens)
(Carl 78′- Schütz 52′)
Arminia Bielefeld sneaked into the quarter-finals with a penalty shootout victory over fourth-tier Astoria Walldorf.
Bielefeld took the lead through Tom Schütz and seemed on course for a slender victory, but Marcel Carl’s opportunistic header for Walldorf leveled the tie and forced extra time.

Bayern Munich 1-0 Wolfsburg
(Costa 17′)
Douglas Costa’s deflected first-half shot gave defending champions Bayern a narrow 1-0 win over a dogged Wolfsburg side.
Carlo Ancelotti fielded a strong side, but left Thomas Müller on the bench. Bayern were rewarded early on when Costa’s strike from the edge of the box clipped off Luiz Gustavo, wrong footing Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels.
Wolfsburg held firm throughout the contest and limited Bayern to a few half chances, but rarely threatened Manuel Neuer’s goal and Bayern came through as they look to defend their crown.

Greuther Fürth rediscovered some composure after a nightmare start, but Gladbach eased into a 2-0 lead through Thorgan Hazard’s penalty shortly before half time.
Gladbach were rarely tested and will be in the draw for the last eight.
