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.

Sunday’s draw dealt defending champion Stuttgart a visit to second-division Bochum, while Leipzig, the 2023 winner, was given a home tie against Magdeburg, another second division team.

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.
