Bayern Munich eased into the next round of the German Cup, delivering a dominant 6-1 victory over second-division side Magdeburg. Despite deciding to rest star striker Harry Kane, the Bavarian giants displayed clinical form, led by an impressive attacking performance that overwhelmed their opponents throughout the match.
The scoring began in the 10th minute through Michael Olise, followed by Ismail Saibari extending the lead to 2-0 in the 21st minute. Magdeburg managed a brief glimmer of hope when Mateusz Zukowski found the net in the 15th minute to equalize temporarily, but Bayern regained control to head into halftime with a 2-1 advantage.
The momentum shifted decisively in the second half as Bayern dismantled the Magdeburg defense. Olise converted a penalty in the 50th minute for his second goal of the night. Further strikes from Alphonso Davies in the 70th minute and Nathaniel Brown in the 73rd minute effectively ended the contest. Young talent David Santos-Dayer rounded off the scoring in stoppage time to confirm the 6-1 rout.
With this victory safely secured, the team now pivots toward a demanding schedule. Bayern faces a high-stakes Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday, followed by a challenging away fixture against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
