BERLIN, Feb. 4 -- Werder Bremen stunned Borussia Dortmund in a five-goal thriller while Schalke booked their place in the quarterfinals thanks to Benito Raman's late winner in the last 16 of the German Cup on Tuesday.

Struggling Werder Bremen caught a fairytale start on home soil, as new arrival Davie Selke needed only 16 minutes to break the deadlock after tapping home the rebound from Milot Rashica's parried effort.

Dortmund were unable to respond and Bremen doubled their lead on the half-hour mark as Leonardo Bittencourt volleyed home into the top corner.

Lucien Favre made changes at half-time and brought on in-form striker Erling Haaland, who did not need long to get his name on the scoreboard after making the most of Julian Brandt's cross to score his eight goal in just his fourth appearance for Dortmund.

The "BVB" gained momentum and should have restored parity two minutes later but substitute Giovanni Reyna squandered a promising chance from inside the box.

Bremen then shocked Dortmund with a 3-1 lead a minute later when Rashica slotted home a counter attack from the edge of the box into the far post corner.

Dortmund responded well and reduced the arrears through Reyna, who danced through the box to beat goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka in the 78th minute.
