4-1 against Stuttgarter Kickers, 3-0 against FC St. Pauli, 2-0 against Dynamo Dresden: Borussia Dortmund convincingly moved into the last eight of the DFB Cup. The facts speak for themselves.

Dominant: 62 per cent possession, 55% of tackles won and 11 shots compared to their hosts' 9, BVB boasted an 83% pass completion rate (Dresden: 71%).

Failing to score: In all ten games between Borussia and Dynamo (eight in the Bundesliga, two in the DFB Cup) one team has always failed to find the net, meaning the scorer of the first goal has always won.

Quarter finals: Borussia have reached the last eight for the 15th time and for the fourth season in a row.

Perfect century: The win marks BVB's 100th victory in the DFB Cup.

Strong away form: The Black and Yellows won their seventh away Cup match in a row, thus setting a club record.

Goalless: It was the first time this season that a BVB Cup game was goalless after 45 minutes. The Black and Yellows led at half-time against the Stuttgarter Kickers (1-0) and FC St. Pauli (2-0).

Leading scorer in the Cup: Ciro Immobile grabbed his second and third Cup goals of the current campaign. He also has four in European competition.

Starting eleven: Following a long spell on the sidelines injured, Jakub Blaszczykowski featured in the BVB starting line-up for the first time since matchday 18 of the 2013/14 season. (br)
