Leverkusen, a dramatic victory in the quarter-finals of the German Cup

Surprise leaders of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen can do the double this season after a win that sent them into the semi-finals of the German Cup.

In the BayArena match against Stuttgart, the visitors opened the scoring only in the 11th minute thanks to Waldemar Anton.

Leverkusen equalized early in the second half through Andrić, but Furych put Stuttgart ahead again a few minutes later.

The final belonged to Xabi Alonso and after Adli made it 2-2, Jonathan Ta scored the winner in the last minute of the game.

Having qualified for the German Cup final four times, Leverkusen won the trophy just once, in the 1992-93 season.
