Erik Ten Hag's Bayer Leverkusen crushed fourth-division side Grossaspach 4-0 in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 on Tuesday, advancing to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Patrik Schick, Arthur, Christian Kofane, and Alex Grimaldo were on target for Leverkusen, who utterly dominated a hapless Grossaspach, who had Volkan Celik sent off for a second bookable offense.

Leverkusen will learn their quarter-final opponents later this week when the remainder of the round of 16 is played.

Promising Bundesliga side Werder Bremen's woes continued as they were knocked out of the DFB Pokal by second-division team Arminia Bielefeld, falling 2-1 at home.

Bielefeld, who defeated Bremen in the Bundesliga just two weeks ago, advanced to the quarter-finals thanks to first-half goals from Nicolas Gonzalez and Kenan Karaman. Bremen scored through Leonardo Bittencourt's stunning free-kick. However, the hosts were unable to find an equalizer despite exerting pressure and creating several chances in the second half.

This result continues Bremen's disappointing season, as they risk relegation from the Bundesliga, sitting just one spot above the relegation zone. On the other hand, Bielefeld continues to impress, rising to second in the 2. Bundesliga table.
