Kane's Stoppage-Time Header Sends Bayern Past Wehen in DFB-Pokal

The 3-2 escape underlined lingering issues with finishing, with Wiesbaden keeper Florian Stritzel the standout.

Overview

  • Bayern led 2-0 through a 16th-minute Harry Kane penalty and a Michael Olise strike on 51 minutes before Fatih Kaya equalized with goals on 64 and 70.
  • Kane had a 76th-minute penalty saved by the excellent Stritzel, then secured victory with a header in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
  • Coach Vincent Kompany rotated six starters; Jonas Urbig replaced the suspended Manuel Neuer in goal in front of 12,500 fans in Wiesbaden.
  • With no VAR in the first round, an apparent early hand-ball by Jordy Gillekens was not penalized, a flashpoint in a tense match.
  • Bayern advanced to the second round for the 31st straight season and continue their bid for a first cup since 2020, with the draw set for Sunday on Sportschau for late-October ties.
