DFB-Pokal holder Wolfsburg handed Bayern tie

The draw for the second round of the DFB-Pokal delivered an exciting clash between defending champion Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich has been handed a mouth-watering trip to holder Wolfsburg in the second round of the DFB-Pokal.

No team has won the Pokal more than Bayern's tally of 17, but the Bundesliga champion faces a difficult task in extending its record against a Wolfsburg side that finished runner up in the league last term.

Wolfsburg lifted the trophy for the first time when it beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in last season's final and toppling Bayern at the Volkswagen Arena at this early stage would be a statement of intent in defense of its crown.
