Bayern Munich eased into the last 16 of the German Cup with a commanding 6-1 victory over second-division side Magdeburg on Wednesday. The Bundesliga leaders were in control throughout and never looked troubled by their lower-league opponents, who fought hard but could not match the visitors' quality.
Michael Olise was the standout performer, delivering a brace and an assist. The French winger continues to impress since his move to Bavaria, and his creativity and finishing were on full display. His performance underlined Bayern's attacking depth as they aim to add another piece of silverware to their collection this season.
Harry Kane, recently crowned Ballon d'Or winner, remained on the bench for the entire match. Despite not playing, the England striker received a warm ovation from the travelling support, a sign of the esteem in which he is held. His absence from the starting lineup allowed Bayern to rotate their squad, and the team responded with a ruthless, efficient display.
The result means Bayern progress to the round of 16, where they will face tougher opposition. While Magdeburg competed bravely and managed a consolation goal, the gap in class was evident. Bayern's relentless pressing and clinical finishing made the difference.
