Stuttgart upset in German Cup

Oct 27, 2009 - 9:39 PM FRANKFURT(AP) -- Second-division Greuther Fuerth upset Stuttgart 1-0 to reach the quarterfinals of the German Cup and Borussia Dortmund lost 3-2 at third-division Osnabrueck on Tuesday.

Stuttgart's fifth straight loss was sure to increase the already great pressure on coach Markus Babbel, whose team has dropped to 13th in the Bundesliga.

Bernd Nehrig, a former Stuttgart player, scored the winner for Greuther Fuerth.

In other games, Cologne won 3-0 at Eintracht Trier, a fourth-division team, and Augsburg thrashed Duisburg 5-0 in match between two second-division sides.

Osnabrueck, which had eliminated Hamburger SV in the previous round, took a two-goal lead against Dortmund and cruised into the last eight.

Angelo Barletta scored twice within five minutes in the first half before Nuri Sahin pulled one back for Dortmund. Benjamin Siegert secured the victory, while Lucas Barrios scored another for Dortmund deep into stoppage time.
