SAARBRUECKEN, Germany — Bayern Munich has crashed out of the German Cup in a 2-1 loss to third-division Saarbruecken. It's also been left with concerns over a knee injury to defender Matthijs de Ligt ahead of the weekend's "Klassiker" against Borussia Dortmund. Saarbruecken recovered from trailing 1-0 to win with a goal deep into stoppage time. De Ligt was taken off in the 24th minute. League leader Bayer Leverkusen won 5-2 at third-tier Sandhausen after three late goals and Dortmund beat Hoffenheim 1-0. Top-tier Freiburg and Mainz both lost. Only six teams from the top division will play in the round of 16.
