Overview
- Bayern advanced 3-2 after leading 2-0 through Harry Kane’s 16th-minute penalty and Michael Olise’s 51st-minute strike before Fatih Kaya equalized with goals in the 64th and 70th minutes.
- Kane had a second-half penalty saved by Stritzel in the 76th minute, his first missed spot kick in a competitive match for Bayern, before heading the winner in the 90+4th.
- Coach Vincent Kompany made six changes from the league opener, with Jonas Urbig starting for the suspended Manuel Neuer and 17-year-old Lennart Karl earning a start and sparking the move for Olise’s goal.
- An early handball by Wehen’s Jordy Gillekens went unpunished, reflecting the absence of VAR in the DFB-Pokal’s first round.
- The win extends Bayern’s run of clearing round one to 31 consecutive seasons, with the second-round draw on Sunday and ties scheduled for October 28–29.
