BERLIN, Oct. 30 -- Leipzig progressed into the round of the last sixteen after scoring three goals within six minutes to eliminate Wolfsburg 6-1 while Borussia Dortmund bounced back to knockout Borussia Monchengladbach on Julian Brandt's brace in the German Cup on Wednesday.
Wolfsburg suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat and crashed out of the second round as Leipzig marked five second-half goals to book their ticket for the next round.
Leipzig started highly motivated on the road and assumed control from the kick off. It took the visitors thus only 13 minutes to break the deadlock as Wolfsburg's Jeffrey Bruma deflected the ball into the wrong goal.
The "Bulls" continued to pose more threat as Wolfsburg lacked in penetration and were unable to test goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo in the first half.
The "Wolves" grabbed a better start into the second half though and produced their first clear-cut opportunity when Stefan Ilsanker had to block Josip Brekalo's dangerous effort on target in the 46th minute.
However, it were the visitors who scored the goals as Marcel Sabitzer exchanged passes with Timo Werner before slotting home from five meters to double the lead in the 55th minute.
Leipzig gained momentum and tripled their advantage only three minutes later as Werner's square pass following a fast break allowed Emil Forsberg to tap home from close range.
Wolfsburg were unable to put up resistance and conceded the fourth goal when Konrad Laimer made no mistake to beat custodian Pavao Pervan in a one-on-one at the hour mark.
