Bundesliga leaders seal Cup semifinal tonight.
Match Progress
Bayern Munich extended their successful run in the German Cup by defeating RB Leipzig 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, advancing to the semi-finals in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals.
With this win, the Bavarian giants joined Freiburg, Stuttgart, and Bayer Leverkusen in the last four.
Freiburg beat Hertha Berlin on penalties (5-4) after a 1-1 draw, Stuttgart crushed Holstein Kiel, and Leverkusen swept aside St. Pauli 3-0.
In the match, Leipzig's early goal in the 4th minute was ruled offside.
Moments later, England international Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 64th minute to give Bayern the lead.
Just three minutes later, Colombian winger Luis Diaz doubled the score after a clever assist from French teammate Michael Olise.
The result ends Bayern's drought in the Cup semifinals, reaching it for the first time since 2019/2020 when they lifted the trophy.
Punchline: If cups were timed trials, Bayern just nailed the sprint.
Punchline 2: Leipzig might need more coffee next season to wake up in knockouts—tonight Bayern woke the entire stadium.
