RB Leipzig needed a well-taken second-half penalty from forward Benjamin Sesko to edge VfL Wolfsburg 1-0 on Wednesday and reach the German Cup last four.

Benjamin Šeško’s penalty has been enough for Leipzig to book the last semifinal spot in the German Cup with a 1-0 win over Wolfsburg in their quarterfinal.

The encounter began at a frantic pace on a crucial evening in Saxony, with chances at both ends. In just the fourth minute, Lois Openda found himself in acres of space inside the Wolfsburg box.
