Overview

  • Harry Kane glanced in Joshua Kimmich's corner for his 25th of the season, then conceded the second penalty and later called both spot-kick rulings harsh.
  • Bayern lost Aleksandar Pavlović to a left-leg issue early in the second half; sporting director Max Eberl said they await a diagnosis.
  • The match featured two own goals and two penalties in the same DFB-Pokal tie, described as a first in the competition in the Bundesliga era.
  • Bayern reached the last eight for the first time since 2022–23, remain unbeaten against German opposition this season, and framed the grind as a step toward the Berlin final.
