Overview

  • FC Bayern advanced to the DFB-Pokal second round with a 3:2 win at third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden, secured by Harry Kane’s 90+4' header.
  • Scoring timeline: Kane converted a 16' penalty, Michael Olise made it 2:0 (51'), Fatih Kaya equalized with a brace (64', 70'), and Kane had a 76' penalty saved before the late winner.
  • Wiesbaden goalkeeper Florian Stritzel delivered an outstanding display with multiple saves, including stopping Kane’s second spot-kick for the striker’s first competitive Bayern penalty miss.
  • Coach Vincent Kompany rotated six starters; Bayern dominated chances (15:2 shots) yet were profligate, exposing familiar cup frailties despite control.
  • With Manuel Neuer suspended, Jonas Urbig started in goal; no VAR in early rounds left an apparent first-half handball unreviewed, and the second-round draw is scheduled for Sunday on Sportschau for matches on Oct. 28–29.
