'Mr Goal' wins it for Bayern as they make history 🔥 | OneFootball

The final teams qualifying for the Round of 16 of the DFB Pokal, the German Cup, were decided this Wednesday (29).

Without having lifted the trophy since the 2019/2020 season, Bayern advanced by dispatching Cologne away from home with a 4-1 victory.

And made HISTORY in European football.

Harry Kane scored twice, reaching 22 goals for Bayern this season in just 14 games.

He is the outright top scorer of the German Cup (five goals) and the Bundesliga (12). And he shares the lead with Mbappé in the Champions League (five).

The latest triumph of the Bavarian team in 2025/2026 secured a record.

Never before had a team from the top five leagues (German, English, Spanish, Italian, and French) won all of their first fourteen matches of the season.

Bayern previously shared this record with Milan from the 1992/1993 season.

Kompany’s squad is at 100% after eight rounds in the Bundesliga and three in the Champions League. They won the German Supercup in regular time and claimed their second win in the DFB Pokal.

It was a comeback

The home team didn’t just sit back and wait for Bayern; they went on the attack.

This forced Urbig – standing in for the suspended Neuer – to work.

Bayern gradually took more control as the minutes passed. And Kane missed some good chances.

It was Cologne who took the lead through Ache after a corner (31’).

The equalizer didn’t take long and came from Luis Díaz (36’), who just had to tap it in.

Kane scored his first at 38’, with great skill. He turned the game around at 64’ with a header, and Olise made it four at 72’ after a pass from Díaz on a lethal counterattack.

Freiburg knocked out Dusseldorf at their rival’s home with a 3-1 victory.

They took the lead with goals from Matanovic (1’), Grifo (6’), and Scherhant (93’). The home side only scored through El Azzouzi (20’).

Meanwhile, Union Berlin and Arminia Bielefeld – last season’s runner-up – finished 1-1 in regular time, forcing extra time.

The capital team won 2-1 thanks to a goal from Doekhi (106’).

The draw for the Round of 16 matchups will take place next Sunday (2).
