BERLIN (AFP) - Bundesliga club Wolfsburg have been thrown out of the German Cup after their new coach Mark van Bommel made one more substitution than the rules allow during their first-round win.

The mistake happened when Wolfsburg's cup tie at fourth-tier minnows Preussen Munster on Aug 8 went to extra time, during which van Bommel made a sixth substitution. Competition rules allow only five changes.
