Bayern Munich narrowly escaped a German Cup upset, overcoming third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden with a 3-2 victory. The match saw a rollercoaster of emotions, including a missed penalty by star striker Harry Kane, who ultimately redeemed himself with a crucial stoppage-time goal.
Kane, known for his impeccable penalty record, surprisingly missed his first spot kick for Bayern Munich in a competitive match. This was a significant moment, as he had a flawless record since the 2022 World Cup. Despite the miss, Kane had already scored a penalty earlier in the match, putting Bayern in the lead.
Bayern initially appeared to be cruising to victory, building a two-goal lead. However, Wiesbaden mounted a comeback, scoring two goals in quick succession to level the score. Kane had another opportunity to put Bayern ahead from the penalty spot, but the Wiesbaden goalkeeper denied him.
Despite the penalty miss, Kane remained a threat. He eventually found the back of the net in stoppage time, securing the win for Bayern. This goal marked his sixth in three matches this season.

This isn't the first time Bayern has struggled against lower-tier teams. Time for some serious reflection.

Bayern's defensive flaws are too obvious. A major overhaul is needed after this scare.

Bayern should never have let a third-tier team come so close! This is unacceptable.
