In a notable German Cup clash, Bayern Munich triumphed over RB Leipzig with a 2-0 scoreline, marking their first advancement to the semi-finals since 2020. Harry Kane opened the scoring with a well-placed penalty, solidifying his impressive tally of 39 goals for the season. Luis Diaz added a second goal shortly thereafter, showcasing his excellent form with five goals in the last three matches. This victory reinforces Bayern's dominance in the competition, being the record holders with 20 cup wins.

Despite having suffered significant defeats to Bayern earlier in the season, Leipzig displayed an improved performance throughout the match. They applied early pressure on Bayern's defense and appeared determined to break their losing streak. However, Bayern's clinical approach in the second half, where they scored twice in quick succession, ultimately secured their progression in the tournament. This win not only highlights Bayern's current domestic supremacy but also sets a strong momentum as they head into the later stages of the competition.

Bayern will now join other top competitors like defending champions Stuttgart and teams like Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg in the semi-finals. This victory is particularly significant for Bayern, who had struggled to surpass the quarter-finals in recent tournaments. With their history of success in the German Cup, the pressure is on to reclaim the title this season, especially with their recent performances indicating a return to form in both domestic and European competitions.
