New plan
- Bayern Munich will host second-division 1. FC Magdeburg in the second round of the DFB-Pokal.
- Former Bayern player Bastian Schweinsteiger drew his longtime club against Magdeburg.
- Borussia Dortmund will host Werder Bremen, while another top matchup will take place in Frankfurt.
Bastian Schweinsteiger handed Bayern Munich a manageable second-round tie in the DFB-Pokal, drawing his former club at home against second-division 1. FC Magdeburg.
It could have been considerably tougher for Bayern. For the first time since the 2008-09 season, all 18 Bundesliga clubs came through the opening round without an upset, making direct top-flight matchups a real possibility in the draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.
Bayern could have faced 17 different Bundesliga opponents. Instead, Schweinsteiger, the club legend who spent years at Bayern, spared his former team. Borussia Dortmund will host Werder Bremen, and Frankfurt will stage another headline tie.
