The cup progress will be pleasing for Dortmund, who are well off the pace in the league, as they now await the results from tonight's three matches.

"Every misplaced pass [from Frankfurt], there was a feeding frenzy. Except for the first 20 minutes after half-time, I was super happy."
Sebastian Kehl, who provided the final assist for the goal, cut a more reserved figure after the game.
The club's league form had a bearing on their attitude, especially after the injury news earlier this week involving Sven Bender and Marco Reus.
"The tension was high and the pressure to win was great too," Kehl told WAZ. "Today we were good in many areas, we were very compact.
"We are a sinister weapon going forward, and already several teams have felt that."
