Hertha Berlin 0-3 Borussia Dortmund: Mkhitaryan sets up Bayern final

Thomas Tuchel's side put on an assured performance in the German capital to book their place in the final of the DFB-Pokal Cup, despite the absence of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Borussia Dortmund will meet rivals Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal final after inflicting a comprehensive 3-0 defeat on Hertha Berlin in the semi-finals on Wednesday evening.

Thomas Tuchel's side put in a dominant performance at the Olympiastadion as goals from Marco Reus, Gonzalo Castro and Henrikh Mkhitaryan put paid to the hosts, Goal.com reports.

More than 76,000 watched on as Reus finished off a cross from Shinji Kagawa with a quarter of an hour to go after Castro - who had been forced off the field in the first half to have a head injury stitched up - fired Dortmund into the lead on 20 minutes.

The former Leverkusen man struck a superb swirling effort into the top corner from the edge of the 18-yard box in a first half which could have seen the away side three or four up.

Hertha had their outstanding keeper Rune Jarstein to thank for giving them a chance after a string of saves in the second half before Reus made it 2-0 and then turned creator for Mkhitaryan's late settler.

BVB were without their quarter-final hero Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed the game after chipping a bone in his toe in training, but his absence did not affect the away side in the end.
