Leverkusen upset in German Cup with coach watching on bus (The Associated Press)

Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt was helpless to intervene on Tuesday as his side slumped a 4-3 defeat on penalties at third-division Sportfreunde Lotte in the second round of the German Cup. Schmidt was watching TV coverage on a tablet from the team bus as Lotte goalkeeper Benedikt Fernandez saved Julian Baumgartlinger's spot kick and then Luka Tankulic fired the home side, which had played 40 minutes with 10 men, into the third round. The 49-year-old Leverkusen coach was serving the first of his two-game ban for shouting an insult at Hoffenheim counterpart Julian Nagelsmann during their sides' Bundesliga game on Saturday.
