"It was a crazy game, sometimes that's what the cup brings. We were in complete control and should've been two or three goals in front in the first half. We had some big chances to settle it in the second half too. They kept going and knew they could turn the momentum with one goal. We then had to show character to stay calm in the final 15 minutes."
"Bayern's victory was ultimately deserved as the Bundesliga champions fired off 22 shots to the hosts' six, hitting the target with 15 of their attempts. Bayern also racked up 3.87 expected goals (xG) to Wiesbaden's 1.13, their most in a DFL-Pokal match since they thrashed fifth-tier Bremer SV 12-0 in the first round of the 2021-22 tournament under Julian Nagelsmann (5.86 xG)."
Harry Kane scored a 94th-minute header to secure Bayern Munich a 3-2 win over third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden in the DFL-Pokal first round. Kane and Michael Olise put Bayern 2-0 ahead before Wiesbaden captain Fatih Kaya scored twice in six minutes to level. Florian Stritzel saved a 76th-minute penalty from Kane. Bayern dominated with 22 shots (15 on target) and 3.87 xG versus Wiesbaden's six shots and 1.13 xG. Bayern maintained composure in the closing stages but showed clear areas to improve, particularly in finishing and match control.
