Bayern Munich Crushes Magdeburg in German Cup

Bayern Munich advanced in the German Cup on Wednesday with a 6-1 victory over second-division side Magdeburg. The win keeps Bayern moving forward in the competition after an early scare from the visitors.

Michael Olise and Ismael Saibari Lead Bayern Attack

Michael Olise and Ismael Saibari scored in the first half to give Bayern a 2-1 lead heading into halftime. Bayern opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Lennart Karl sent Saibari through, who drew goalkeeper Dominik Reimann before laying the ball off to Olise for an open-net finish. Magdeburg responded in the 15th minute when Mateusz Żukowski collected the ball on the left flank, cut inside on his right foot, and fired past Jonas Urbig into the far corner. Olise returned the favor in the 21st minute with an inch-perfect pass that allowed Saibari to lift the ball over Reimann for a 2-1 advantage.
