German Cup champion Stuttgart advances with 2-0 win over Bochum
BOCHUM, Germany (AP) --- Stuttgart's German Cup defense continued with a 2-0
win over Bochum to move into the quarterfinals after a nightmarish game for
Bochum defender Philipp Strompf.
Stuttgart was handed the lead in the 12th minute when Strompf headed a long
Stuttgart throw-in past his own goalkeeper, and Strompf was then sent off just
before halftime. He lost the ball to Deniz Undav then fouled Undav when the
Stuttgart striker would otherwise have been through on goal.
Undav doubled Stuttgart's lead with a header shortly after the break and his
team cruised to victory over second-tier Bochum from there.
Freiburg beat second-division Darmstadt 2-0 with a penalty from Vincenzo Grifo
and another goal from Lucas Hler. Grifo hit a second penalty against the
crossbar late in the game.
Later Wednesday, Bayern Munich visits Union Berlin, while Hamburger SV plays
Holstein Kiel.
