Kane watches as Bayern cruise into German Cup last 16

BERLIN - Newly crowned Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane was left on the bench as Bayern Munich secured a 6-1 victory over second-tier side Magdeburg in the German Cup last 32 on Wednesday. Bayern Munich had no trouble without their star striker, as Michael Olise scored twice, Ismael Saibari, Alphonso Davies, Nathaniel Brown, and teenage David Santos Daiber each netted a goal.

Kane was honored with a guard of honor from his teammates before the match, as over 75,000 fans at the Allianz Arena paid tribute to the Ballon d'Or winner, two days after his triumph in London. Bayern Munich's coach Vincent Kompany was released from the hospital five days after collapsing at training on Friday. Olise capitalized on a superb assist from Saibari to score after just 10 minutes, followed by a leveler by Mateusz Zukowski five minutes later.

Olise also assisted Saibari midway through the first half and added a penalty early in the second half. Despite Kane remaining on the bench, teenage forward Lennart Karl set up goals for Davies and Brown. Santos Daiber netted a crucial stoppage-time goal to seal the victory. Kane will be focusing on Saturday's home Bundesliga clash with Borussia Dortmund.

In other matches, Bayer Leverkusen came from two goals down to win 5-2 against Nuremberg, with Edmond Tapsoba scoring twice and Patrik Schick, Jonas Hofmann, and Lucas Vazquez also finding the net. Earlier, Germany forward Deniz Undav scored a late winner for Stuttgart, who were without a man due to Laurin Curda's red card. Undav's goal secured Stuttgart's place in the next round.

Elsewhere, Japan forward Keisuke Goto scored twice in the final 15 minutes to help Freiburg overcome a 2-1 deficit and win 3-2 against Wolfsburg. Goto's teammate Kento Shiogai also scored a brace, while Igor Matanovic opened the scoring for Freiburg. Second-division sides Dynamo Dresden and Hertha Berlin also secured wins, with both results coming in 2-0 victories. Kaiserslautern eliminated Hannover in another match.
