Meijer magic bewitches Bayern

Headed winner
The Dutch striker headed the winning goal nine minutes from time to crown an impressive display by the underdogs, who had pressurised their illustrious visitors throughout.

Alemannia in front
Bayern fell behind after 33 minutes, with defender Stefan Blank putting the home side ahead, but German international Michael Ballack levelled for Ottmar Hitzfeld's team in first-half added time with a diving header.

Home side on top
Alemannia continued to look the more likely winners in the second period, and Meijer's late strike was the culmination of a hard-working and disciplined display.

Final four
Alemannia joined Bundesliga leaders SV Werder Bremen, VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach and second division VfB Lübeck 1919, who all won their quarter-finals on Tuesday night, in the last four.
