BERLIN (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund beat Hertha Berlin 3-2 on penalties to reach the German Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday after the match finished 1-1 after extra time. Dortmund, who were reduced to 10 men late in extra time after Sokratis Papastathopoulos was sent off for dissent, were better from the penalty spot as three Hertha players failed to score. Marco Reus drew the hosts level three minutes into the second half after Ousmane Dembele's shot bounced off the post. In a one-sided second half Dortmund should have won it after creating several clear scoring chances. Schalke 04 eased past second division Sandhausen 4-1 while holders Bayern Munich edged past VfL Wolfsburg 1-0 to book their spot on Tuesday.
