Kane watches as Bayern cruise into German Cup last 16

Harry Kane was left on the bench as Bayern Munich secured a comfortable 6-1 victory over second-tier Magdeburg in the German Cup last 32 round match on Wednesday. The 75,000 fans at the Allianz Arena gave the Ballon d'Or winner a standing ovation upon his arrival, marking his second triumph in 24 hours after winning the prestigious award in London.

Bayern Munich's coach, Vincent Kompany, had recovered from a hospital stay after collapsing during training just five days prior. Michael Olise was the star of the show, scoring twice with the second assist from Ismael Saibari. Saibari, Alphonso Davies, Nathaniel Brown, and teenager David Santos Daiber all contributed goals, with Santos Daiber scoring a magnificent stoppage-time winner.

The win sets up a home Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund for the champions next Saturday. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen came from behind to beat Nuremberg 5-2, with Edmond Tapsoba netting twice and Patrik Schick, Jonas Hofmann, and Lucas Vazquez also scoring. In other matches, Deniz Undav scored the winning goal as Germany's Stuttgart defeated 10-man Paderborn 1-0, while Keisuke Goto and Kento Shiogai scored twice for Japan's Freiburg in a 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg.
