With superior squad quality, Bayern quickly put a lot of pressure right from the start of the match. In the 12th minute, from Kimmich's corner kick, goalkeeper Ronnow misjudged the drop point and Ansah accidentally put the ball into his own net while trying to clear the ball. Just a few minutes later, also from a set piece, Harry Kane jumped high to head the ball to make it 2-0.
Union Berlin unexpectedly had a chance to return to the match in the 35th minute when Jonathan Tah let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area. After consulting VAR, the home team was awarded a penalty and Querfeld shortened the gap to 1-2. However, before the end of the first half, Diogo Leite was shy in the dispute and counter-attacked, helping Bayern increase the score to 3-1.
In the second half, Union Berlin continued to make efforts to push up the formation. In the 53rd minute, Kane committed a foul in the penalty area and Querfeld scored for the second time from the 11m mark, completing a double, shortening the score to 23. In the remaining minutes, both sides played an open game but did not score any more goals.
Winning 3-2, Bayern Munich advanced to the quarter-finals of the German Cup. After this match, coach Kompany and his team will prepare for the Bundesliga match against Stuttgart on December 7.
