Diaz wastes chance after chance, Kim blunders: Bayern player ratings | OneFootball

FC Bayern advances to the second round of the DFB-Pokal after a nail-biting win at SV Wehen Wiesbaden. Coach Vincent Kompany's team edged out the third-division side 3-2. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside individual player ratings.

Jonas Urbig: Stood in goal for the suspended Neuer. Had nothing to do for a long time and then conceded two goals. However, you can't really blame him for those. Grade: 3.

Sacha Boey: Was eager and repeatedly looked to push forward. The foul on the Frenchman resulted in the penalty that Kane converted for Bayern's 1-0 lead. For the goal that made it 1-2, Olise had to cover his position and couldn't prevent the cross. Overall, Boey gets a grade: 3.

Jonathan Tah: Was poorly positioned for the 1-2 goal and couldn't effectively challenge goalscorer Kaya. Also couldn't catch up to Kaya for the 2-2, though the decisive mistake was made earlier by Kim. Grade for Tah: 4.

Minjae Kim: Broke up the hosts' only dangerous attack in the first half with a strong tackle while outnumbered. But then was poorly positioned and lost the crucial aerial duel before the hosts' 2-2 equalizer. That was too weak. Grade: 5.

Raphael Guerreiro: Had a huge chance in the first half from close range, but goalkeeper Stritzel made a fine save. Found the net in the second half after a Kane assist, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Guerreiro wasn't challenged defensively for long stretches but couldn't make enough impact going forward. Grade: 4.

Joshua Kimmich: Started very aggressively in pressing, often right up to the hosts' penalty area. Played several dangerous passes. When the game became chaotic after Wiesbaden's equalizer, some of Kimmich's chip balls went astray. Still a solid game. Grade: 3.

Aleksandar Pavlovic: Returned to the starting lineup after his facial injury. Played safely in build-up and exuded a lot of calm. Decent performance from Pavlovic. Grade: 3.

Lennart Karl: The youngster celebrated his starting debut in a competitive match for Bayern's first team. Played very cautiously in the first half. Showed a nice piece of skill against May in the second half, but was immediately fouled by the Wiesbaden player. Was then lively and industrious until his substitution. Grade: 3.

Michael Olise: Not as conspicuous in the first half as usual, but scored coolly at the start of the second half to make it 2-0 for FCB. Olise only made a token effort in the duel for the cross that led to the 1-2. But in the second half, he had several good offensive actions and was always a threat. Grade: 2.

Luis Diaz: Had the first chance of the game just seconds in, but after a pass from Kane was denied by Wehen keeper Stritzel. Midway through the first half, Stritzel again thwarted another chance from the Colombian. Later, Diaz was blocked by a defender in a promising position in the box. Diaz even attempted a bicycle kick, but missed the target. His second half began with another missed chance, again saved by Stritzel. The new signing then shot over the bar. With the score at 2-2, Diaz blasted over the bar again from a good position. Diaz must take responsibility for this poor finishing. Grade: 4.

Harry Kane: After missing a penalty in the friendly against Tottenham, he was ice-cold from the spot again to make it 1-0. Then missed from close range when Stritzel stopped him. Missed his first competitive penalty in ages with the score at 2-2. Headed wide again later. But the top striker shook it off and scored the winning header in stoppage time. That was so important for Bayern! Grade: 2.

Substitutes:

Serge Gnabry (67th for Karl): Brought no fresh impetus at all and played completely unimaginatively against the third-division side. Grade: 5.

Leon Goretzka (67th for Pavlovic): Remained very inconspicuous, at times almost disappeared completely. Grade: 4.

Konrad Laimer (78th for Boey): Came on too late for a rating.

Josip Stanisic (78th for Guerreiro): Came on too late for a rating.
