Overview
- Bayern edged third‑tier SV Wehen Wiesbaden 3:2 to reach the second round, decided by Harry Kane’s header in the 90+4 minute.
- Kane opened with a 16th‑minute penalty, Michael Olise made it 2:0 on 51 minutes, and Fatih Kaya leveled with goals in the 64th and 70th.
- Florian Stritzel starred for Wiesbaden with multiple saves, including stopping Kane’s 76th‑minute penalty, as Bayern’s wasteful finishing kept the tie alive.
- Vincent Kompany rotated six starters; suspended Manuel Neuer was replaced by Jonas Urbig, and 17‑year‑old Lennart Karl began in attacking midfield.
- The result extends Bayern’s first‑round streak but renews concern after early exits since 2020; the round‑two draw airs Sunday on Sportschau with matches in late October, and the game was shown free‑to‑air on ZDF and streamed on Joyn, with Sky holding pay‑TV rights.
