In the quarter‑final of the DFB‑Pokal, FC Bayern Munich claimed a 2‑0 win against RB Leipzig. The match started evenly, and in the fourth minute Christoph Baumgartner seemed to give the visitors the lead, but a VAR check cleared the goal for offside. Bayern then dominated most of the play but initially failed to find an equaliser, while Leipzig defended compactly and relied on quick counter‑attacks.
The turning point came in the second half when Harry Kane walked to the penalty spot in the 64th minute after Josip Stanisic was fouled in the penalty area by Leipzig goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt. Three minutes later, Luis Diaz struck from a precise pass by Olise to increase the lead to 2‑0, and Bayern held that score until the final whistle.
Going forward, Bayern will meet Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday, while Leipzig’s next match is against VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday. The draw for the DFB‑Pokal semi‑finals is also scheduled for Sunday.
