JAKARTA - The brace scored by Thorgan Hazard led Borussia Dortmund to advance to the last 16 of the DFB Pokal Cup after beating FC Ingolstadt 2-0 in the second round match at Signal Iduna Park Stadium, Germany, Tuesday local time.

Dortmund was dominant over the second tier team, but their chances never came to fruition, including Jude Bellingham's long-range strike which hit the crossbar in the 27th minute.

The deadlock was only broken in the 72nd minute when Hazard fired home a close-range finish with Julian Brandt's cross to stun goalkeeper Fabijan Buntic.

Eden Hazard's brother then scored again less than ten minutes later, once again completing Brandt's cross to double Dortmund's lead which lasted until the end.

Launching Antara, the victory made Dortmund the fourth highest-caste German team to qualify for the round of 16 after Hertha Berlin, RB Leipzig and TSG Hoffenheim who also won in early matches.

Meanwhile, Hertha Berlin who traveled to the headquarters of the third tier team Preussen Muenster won 3-1 over their opponent who had to finish the match with ten players.

Stevan Jovetic put Hertha ahead in the third minute in a corner, which the hosts returned with through Thorben Deters four minutes before the break.

Ironically at the end of the first half Nicolai Remberg received a second yellow card for diving and the situation of the imbalance in the number of players was used by Ishal Belfodil and Marco Richter to lock up a 3-1 victory.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim won 5-1 over Holstein Kiel to advance to the round of 16.

Two own goals from Johannes van den Bergh and Hauke Wahl gave Hoffenheim a comfortable 2-0 lead until halftime.

Phil Neumann briefly hit back for Holstein, but Angelo Stiller, Munas Dabbur and Jacob Bruun Larsen completed a convincing 5-1 win for Hoffenheim.

At the Karl-Liebknecht Stadium, Leipzig could only narrowly win 1-0 over the fourth-tier team SV Babelsberg.

Dominik Szoboszlai scored the only goal to win Leipzig right at the end of the first half.

Another second-round match that has already taken place saw the third tier team TSV 1860 Munich able to beat Schalke 04, which is a second caste team, with a narrow score of 1-0.
