- 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.
