Overview

  • Bayern advanced 3-2 after leading 2-0 through Harry Kane’s penalty (16') and Michael Olise (51') before Fatih Kaya’s brace (64', 70') drew Wehen level.
  • Kane had a second penalty saved by standout keeper Florian Stritzel in the 76th minute before heading the winner in the 90+4 minute.
  • Video review was not in use in the first round, and an apparent handball by Jordy Gillekens in the 9th minute went unpenalized.
  • With Manuel Neuer suspended from last season’s cup, Jonas Urbig started as Vincent Kompany rotated six positions and handed 17-year-old Lennart Karl a first start.
  • The sold-out tie at Wiesbaden’s Brita-Arena aired live on ZDF and Sky in the clubs’ first competitive meeting, and Bayern reached the second round for the 31st straight season.
