Bayern 6-1 Magdeburg Player Ratings: Six-Goal Thrashing At The Allianz Arena Sees Bayern Qualify To The Next Round Of The DFB Pokal

Bayern took the field in the absence of Vincent Kompany for the first time this season, as they faced Bundesliga 2 side Magdeburg in the second round of the DFB Pokal. Even though they were without a familiar face on the sidelines and the recent Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane, on the bench, the Bavarians were off to a strong start.

Lennart Karl played Ismael Saibari through on goal with a lovely pass, and the Moroccan was unselfish enough to square it off to Michael Olise to tap home into an empty net in the 10th minute.

Magdeburg replied five minutes later, as their top scorer Mateusz Żukowski cut in from the left flank to bang one in at Jonas Urbig's far post, leaving the 23-year-old goalkeeper flat-footed.

However, the second division team's joy was short-lived, as Olise set up Ismael Saibari this time with a cute slice through the defense, and the Moroccan just chipped it over Dominik Reimann to reinstate Bayern Munich's lead in the game.

The third goal effectively put the game to bed, as Alphonso Davies was fouled in the box during a buildup with Lennart Karl by Pierre Nadjombe, resulting in a spot kick. Olise dispatched it expertly in the 51st minute to give the Bavarians some breathing space.

Davies and Nathaniel Brown scored one each in a span of three minutes to label it a thrashing, with 19-year-old David Santos Daiber adding a sixth to the match, as Bayern Munich sealed their qualification into the next round of the DFB Pokal quite comfortably.
