Borussia Dortmund needed extra-time to edge past second-tier 1860 Munich 2-0 and book their spot in the last 16 of the German Cup after dominating Tuesday's tie and hitting the woodwork four times.
.
Substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang converted a penalty after 1860's Dominik Stahl was sent off for a foul on Marco Reus in the 105th minute and Henrikh Mkhitharyan added another after a textbook break two minutes later.
.
"We must and can win difficult games like this," said Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp.
.
"We had the best chances but did not use them and
then hit the woodwork four times. That does not happen every day.
.
"If we had scored earlier it would have maybe been a different game. The goals we scored were super in their execution. I just would have liked to see them in the 90 minutes," he told reporters.
.
Dortmund were kept at bay in the first half by a well- oiled 1860 defence before the visitors rattled the crossbar with a Jakub Blaszczykowski effort right after the restart.
Borussia Dortmund are not the usual dortmund we saw last season...They need to step up their game a.s.a.p!
