Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness said the Bavarian giant again proved it is Germany's top team after beating rival Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

Wednesday's Cup clash was a repeat of last year's final - when Dortmund romped to a 5-2 win in Berlin - but Arjen Robben's thunderbolt strike two minutes from the break broke Bayern's six-match winless streak against Borussia.

This was the clash of Germany's titans - Bayern Munich, 17 points clear in the Bundesliga against defending league champion and Cup holder Dortmund, which has dominated the top tier of German soccer for the past two years.
