AFP, BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund will face Bayern Munich in the German Cup final on May 21 after their comprehensive 3-0 semi-final win at Hertha Berlin on Wednesday.
A first-half goal by Gonzalo Castro, plus late second-half strikes from wingers Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sealed Dortmund’s deserved win at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.
The victory sends Thomas Tuchel’s Dortmund team back to the same Cup final venue in a month’s time.
Munich’s 2-0 win over Werder Bremen on Tuesday means that Germany’s top two teams will meet again when Dortmund play Bayern in a repeat of the 2012 and 2014 Cup finals.
Dortmund were dealt a blow before kick-off as top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropped out with a foot injury.
