Bayern Munich secured a comfortable 6-1 victory over second-tier side Magdeburg in the second round of the German Cup on Wednesday. Despite the eventual scoreline, the match saw competitive moments, with Magdeburg briefly equalizing in the first half and striking the woodwork just before the break.

Harry Kane Celebrated
Newly-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane was honored by the Allianz Arena crowd before kickoff, receiving a guard of honor following his recognition as the first English player to win the award since 2001. Although listed as a substitute, Kane remained on the bench for the duration of the match as club staff managed his playing time ahead of upcoming fixtures against Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid.
