BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich has been drawn at Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund faces 2024 winner Bayer Leverkusen in the third round of the German Cup.

None of the teams from the lower divisions survived the second round.
Also, it’s: Hamburger SV vs. Holstein Kiel; Hertha Berlin vs. Kaiserslautern; Freiburg vs. Darmstadt; and Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. St. Pauli.
The games will be played on Dec. 2 and 3.
