Bayern Munich edged Union Berlin 3–2 today to clinch a spot in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals, as two own goals and a Harry Kane header sealed a cagey, set-piece–heavy contest.
Match Recap:
-
A corner from Joshua Kimmich deflected in for the first own goal, giving Bayern an early lead.
-
Kane added a second with a header from another Kimmich corner.
-
Union Berlin’s Leopold Querfeld halved the deficit from the spot before halftime, but just before the break, another corner-induced own goal from Union’s Diogo Leite restored Bayern’s cushion.
-
In the second half, Union pressed for a comeback; they got a second penalty — again converted by Querfeld — but couldn’t find a third, as Bayern held on under pressure.
With that result, Bayern march into the quarterfinals — their eyes firmly on adding more silverware this season.
