  "account": "In a German Cup opener, Bayern Munich, the reigning champions, bounced back from a first-half deficit to defeat second-division side Osnabrück 4-1 at the away ground. Harry Kane, the England captain, played a pivotal role in the victory with a brace of goals. Kane's first goal came in the 22nd minute after a rebound, while his second goal, scored in the 73rd minute, secured the win. Kane expressed his happiness with the victory, noting that they had to remain composed despite the challenging environment of playing away against a team with a strong atmosphere. The match saw two more goals added by Tom Bischof and Michael Olise, with Bischof scoring in the 26th minute and Olise adding another in the 73rd minute. The victory marked Bayern's 21st German Cup win, but they had been last eliminated at the first round in 1994.",
