Bayern fell Borussia

Bayern Munich ended their three-year wait for a competitive win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday as Arjen Robben's first-half strike sealed a 1-0 German Cup quarter-final victory.
February 2010 had been the occasion of Bayern's last league or cup win over Dortmund — a six-game stretch — but Robben's thunderbolt two minutes before the break at the Allianz Arena was enough to put Munich in the last four.
A pre-season Supercup final win in Munich last August had been Bayern's only source of comfort against Borussia recently.
Despite having spent much of this season on Bayern' bench, Robben took over on the left wing from France's Franck Ribery, who was suspended, to show coach Jupp Heynckes what he has been missing.
The 29-year-old ex-Chelsea and Real Madrid star sank to his knees and beat the turf at the final whistle in delight.
He has now scored in three of Bayern's last four games after netting in recent Bundesliga wins over Wolfsburg and the 6-
1 drubbing of Werder Bremen last Saturday.
This was the clash of Germany's titans -- Bayern Munich, 17 points clear in the Bundesliga against defending league champions and cup holders Dortmund, who have dominated the top tier of German football for the last two years.
Germany defender Mats Hummels dropped out the day of the game with flu and in his place Brazilian Felipe Santana partnered Neven Subotic at centre-back for Dortmund.
Robben's inclusion for the suspended Ribery was the only change from the team which won 3-1 at Arsenal in the Champions League just overaweekago.
Dortmund hammered Bayern 5-2 in last May's German Cup final, when Poland striker Robert Lewandowski netted a hat-trick.
If Wednesday's game needed extra spice, Lewandowski has been strongly linked to a move to Bayern with his contract to expire in 2014.
In a tight, nervy cup game, both teams had their opportunities.
The brightest chance of the first-half fell to Javi Martinez when his shot straight at Roman Weidenfeller was parried and the Dortmund goalkeeper scrambled back to grab the loose ball on 36 minutes.
