Borussia Dortmund became the last team to book their place in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals after they beat Bochum 2-1.
Scorers: Stöger (PEN) 64′; Emre Can 45+2′, Reus 70′
Mats Hummels was celebrating a special milestone as he became the player with the second-most appearances for Dortmund in history.
Erin Terzic otherwise named a fairly youthful side as English youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens started in attack.
And it was the former Manchester City youngster who went closest early on but saw his effort blocked on the line by Erhan Masovic.
Dortmund eventually did take the lead right on the stroke of half time as Emre Can found the back of the net with an astonishing effort from the halfway line.
Into the second half and Bochum almost netted an equaliser on the hour mark but as Christopher Antwi-Adjei tried to round Gregor Kobel, the Swiss keeper gathered up the ball.
After an incredibly lengthy VAR check the home side were awarded a penalty thanks to a handball and netted their equaliser through Kevin Stöger.
Jude Bellingham really showed his class soon after however, as he raced through on goal and instead of attempting his own shot passed for Marco Reus to tap in.
