Bayer Leverkusen ended Borussia Dortmund’s long unbeaten home record on Tuesday after Ibrahim Maza’s first-half goal advanced to the quarter-finals of the German Cup with a 1-0 victory.
Dortmund had not lost at home since early March and beat Leverkusen 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, but were undone by hesitant defending that allowed 20-year-old Maza to score in the 34th minute in their round of 16 tie.
Leverkusen had the ball in the home goal for the second time in the 62nd minute, but Martin Terrier’s side-footed effort was ruled out for offside after a VAR review.
Leverkusen are joined in the last eight by RB Leipzig after overcoming an early penalty from FC Magdeburg to record a comfortable 3-1 home win.
Christoph Baumgartner scored twice for Leipzig.
Supporters remained silent for the first 12 minutes of both matches as they continued to protest against proposed changes to security measures around German football matches.
