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.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament. Chan and Kudermetova fell 4-6 in the first set after having their serve broken three times, although they played increasingly well. They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital. After missing the final rounds in the first two of four qualifier
