  "account": "OSNABRÜCK, Germany (AP) — Harry Kane scored twice as defending champion Bayern Munich secured a 4-1 victory over second-division Osnabrück in the opening round of the German Cup. The match took place at Osnabrück on Wednesday.\n\nBayern Munich's Jamal Musiala was not included in the starting lineup due to a neurological issue that had sidelined him in two pre-season games. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany stated that Musiala \"might\" be an option for Bayern’s league game against promoted Schalke on Saturday, but he did not wish to add more pressure to the star player.\n\nNew signing Ismael Saibari made his first start for Bayern Munich, replacing Musiala. Robin Meissner scored the opening goal for Osnabrück with a shot from around 30 meters inside the top right corner.\n\nBayern Munich responded quickly with goals from Kane and Jonas Urbig for a 2-1 lead in the 24th minute. Bayern had to wait until the 73rd minute for Olise to score the fourth and final goal, sealing the win. Kane added the penalty to complete the scoring.",
