Roy Makaay scored in injury time Tuesday to give Bayern Munich a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over third-division Osnabrueck in the second round of the German Cup.
Claudio Pizarro, the Peruvian striker playing his second match following a long recovery from a cracked skull in July, had two goals for Bayern.
Bayern trailed 2-1 but fought back as Makaay got the late winner, just as he scored the equalizer in a 2-2 draw at Borussia Dortmund in a Bundesliga match on Saturday.
"It was a typical cup match," Bayern coach Felix Magath said. "I think the fans had a good time."
Pizarro notched the first goal of his comeback when he headed in unchallenged in the fifth minute.
Joe Enochs, a 33-year-old Californian, fired the equalizer from about 25m in the 19th, beating Bayern's reserve goalkeeper Michael Rensing with a fierce shot.
"The coach told us to shoot as often as we could and I just hit the ball when I saw it coming," Enochs said.
Bayern was missing several starters through injury or illness, including No. 2 goalkeeper Oliver Kahn and midfielders Sebastian Deisler and Michael Ballack, although Deisler came on late in the match.
In the final seconds of the first half, Bayern should have earned a penalty when Hasan Salihamidzic was brought down in the box but the call never came.
Osnabrueck went ahead after 63 minutes. Wolfgang Schuette's chipped shot bounced off the crossbar and Thomas Reichenberger pounced to score.
Ten minutes later, Rensing made a one-handed save to keep Bayern in the match and a minute later Pizarro found the target from 16m with a well-placed shot.
Makaay used a through ball to beat the Osnabrueck defense with time running out and easily slotted home.
Two Bundesliga teams were ousted by second-division sides -- Nuremberg lost 3-2 to Ahlen in extra time and Mainz was knocked out by Karlsruhe in a penalty shootout after playing to a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Nuremberg squandered a two-goal lead and Musemestre Bamba had two goals in Ahlen's comeback, including the extra-time winner.
Two days after drawing 1-1 in the Bundesliga, Freiburg and Bochum met again, with Freiburg winning 3-2.

David Beckham scored from a 61st-minute free kick Tuesday as Real Madrid edged Osasuna 1-0 to move into first place in the Spanish league and give new coach Mariano Garcia Remon a winning start.
The goal by Beckham, who was recalled by Garcia Remon after being dropped last weekend, boosted morale of the troubled team, whose coach Jose Antonio Camacho resigned Sunday.
Fans whistled Madrid players during the first half at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in protest at their poor recent form. The main target was left back Roberto Carlos, whom supporters believe showed a lack of support for Camacho during his four-month spell in charge.
"It was a difficult game to take on but we go to bed tonight as leaders and Jose will certainly be happy," Garcia Remon said. "Today we're leaders thanks to the work done by Jose."
Madrid has nine points from four games, two more than Espanyol, Atletico Madrid, FC Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza and Osasuna, which all have played three matches.
Osasuna also has seven but from four games.
European soccer's governing body Tuesday awarded Dynamo Kiev a 3-0 forfeit victory and ordered AS Roma to play two home games behind closed doors because a fan injured Swedish referee Anders Frisk during a Champions' League match last week.
Dynamo was leading 1-0 when Frisk was hit by an object thrown by one of Roma's fans, forcing the referee to abandon the match.
Roma defender Philippe Mexes was also suspended for two matches for "particularly unsporting conduct," UEFA said in a statement.
The Group B games affected are against Bayer Leverkusen on Nov. 3 and Real Madrid on Dec. 8, meaning Roma will only be able to play in front of its fans again if it qualifies for the next round.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend. So make sure you come out and support the Beer
Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
The sacred flame for the Paris Olympics was lit yesterday in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity and marked by messages of hope amid multiple global crises. “In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even — and in particular — during times of war and conflict,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. “Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition. Then as now, the Olympic athletes are sending this powerful message — yes, it is possible to compete fiercely
