The match began with a shock for the visitors when Osnabrueck’s Robin Meissner produced a superb dipping strike from outside the penalty area just five minutes into the contest. The early goal electrified the home crowd, but Bayern Munich maintained their composure to turn the tide before the interval.
Kane Inspires Bayern Fightback
England captain
Following the equalizer, Bayern quickly seized the momentum. Tom Bischof added a second goal just six minutes later, capitalising on a similar opportunity to put the visitors in front. As the game progressed, Bayern’s quality began to tell, with Michael Olise extending the lead in the 73rd minute.
Securing the Result
With the result largely beyond doubt, Kane added his second of the night from the penalty spot with four minutes remaining, rounding off a comprehensive 4-1 win. Reflecting on the challenge, the forward noted the difficulty of playing in such an atmosphere but praised his team's ability to remain calm after the early setback.
The victory ensures Bayern Munich, who have claimed the German Cup 21 times, avoid a first-round exit—a stage they have not been eliminated from since 1994. Elsewhere in the competition, Borussia Dortmund secured their place in the next round with a comfortable 5-0 victory over fifth-division side HEBC in Hamburg on Tuesday.
