- Bayern Munich will host second-tier 1. FC Magdeburg in the second round of the DFB-Pokal after Bastian Schweinsteiger made the draw.
- The round also features Bundesliga meetings between Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburger SV, Cologne and Union Berlin, and Paderborn and Stuttgart.
- The only remaining fourth-tier club, SSV Jeddeloh II, will face second-tier Hertha BSC Berlin.
Bastian Schweinsteiger handed Bayern Munich a favorable assignment in the second round of the DFB-Pokal, drawing a home match against second-tier 1. FC Magdeburg for his former club.
The draw could have been tougher for Bayern. All 18 Bundesliga clubs advanced from the opening round without a defeat, something that had not happened since the 2008-09 season. That raised the prospect of several direct top-flight clashes in the draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
The second round, scheduled for October 27 and 28, will include Borussia Dortmund against Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt away to Hamburger SV. Cologne will host Union Berlin, while Paderborn will play VfB Stuttgart.
SSV Jeddeloh II, the only remaining Regionalliga club, will face second-tier Hertha BSC Berlin.
