In-form Borussia Dortmund kept up their hopes of a trophy this season, easing past VfL Wolfsburg 2-0 yesterday with goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Robert Lewandowski to reach the German Cup final.

Dortmund could face holders and rivals Bayern Munich, who play Kaiserslautern in the last four today, in the May 17 final.

The hosts, who beat champions Bayern 3-0 in the league on Saturday, grabbed a well-deserved 13th minute lead when Armenian Mkhitaryan rifled in after a fine solo effort.

It took a long time for Wolfsburg to recover but they came agonisingly close four minutes before the break with Malanda’s header hitting the post.

But it was Dortmund who scored again two minutes later with Lewandowski drilling in a Marco Reus cutback for his 100th goal for the club.
