Harry Kane scored a penalty and Luis Diaz found the net as Bayern Munich beat RB Leipzig 2-0 to reach the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal. The England international is beginning to fill a trophy cabinet that went untouched for too long and is now chasing down another piece of silverware.
Harry Kane netted his 25th goal of the season as he bizarrely emerged as Bayern's only scorer on the night in their 3-2 win over Union Berlin in their DFB Pokal round of 16 clash on Wednesday night. Kane was also guilty of conceding a second penalty just five minutes after the break, as his foul allowed Union to reduce the deficit to one goal, but the Bavarian giants held on to progress.
Former Germany midfielder Didi Hamann criticised the match officials after Luis Diaz was wrongly deemed onside before scoring the equaliser, which proved to be the turning point in Bayern Munich’s 4-1 win over Koln. Hamann argued that the absence of VAR until the third round of the DFB-Pokal is unfair to teams that have been eliminated due to refereeing errors.
Harry Kane says his first goal away at FC Koln on Tuesday was "one of his favourites" so far this season as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat the newly-promoted Bundesliga side 4-1 in the DFB Pokal. The England captain struck twice as Bayern created history by becoming the first team ever in Europe's top five leagues to win their first 14 games to a season in all competitions.
Vincent Kompany reserved special praise for Koln’s young starlet Said El Mala ahead of Bayern Munich’s DFB-Pokal clash with the Billy Goats. The 19-year-old midfielder, already attracting interest from Manchester City and Bayern, has become one of the Bundesliga’s brightest prospects, and Kompany has added to the growing hype.
Jonas Urbig has brushed aside any talk of anxiety over Manuel Neuer’s Bayern Munich future, insisting he is focused on developing under Vincent Kompany’s guidance. The 22-year-old goalkeeper will start against boyhood club Koln in the DFB-Pokal this week, determined to prove he belongs at Germany’s biggest club while learning from one of the best.
