Overview

  • Harry Kane opened from the spot, had a second penalty saved by Florian Stritzel, then headed the 90+4-minute decider.
  • Third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden pulled level from 0-2 through a rapid Fatih Kaya brace that ignited the contest.
  • Bayern controlled territory and chances yet were profligate, with Luis Díaz repeatedly denied in front of goal.
  • Vincent Kompany rotated six starters, and suspended Manuel Neuer was replaced by Jonas Urbig in goal.
  • With no VAR in round one, an early Bayern handball appeal went unreviewed; the sold-out Brita Arena hosted 12,500 as ZDF aired the tie, and the round-two draw is on Sunday.
