German Cup: Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen came from two goals down to beat stubborn second-division Cologne 3-2 in extra time to book its semifinal spot in the German Cup on Thursday (IST).

Facing a well-organised Cologne side, it took half an hour for Leverkusen to create its first clear chance when Alejandro Grimaldo's free kick hit the woodwork and four minutes later, Grimaldo shot wide from a tight angle.

On the stroke of halftime, Damion Downs pounced on Dejan Ljubicic's good work to break the deadlock for Cologne, reports Xinhua.
