Harry Kane scored a last-gasp winner to spare Bayern Munich`s blushes in a dramatic 3-2 victory at third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden in the German Cup first round on Wednesday. Bayern were two goals up and cruising not long after half-time thanks to a Kane penalty, his 31st successful spot-kick in a row for club and country, and Michael Olise`s goal. But Wiesbaden captain Fatih Kaya scored twice in five minutes to drag his side back into the match.
Kane was felled in the box but had his 76th-minute spot-kick saved, his first missed penalty since blasting over the bar for England against France in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals. He redeemed himself however, heading in a Josip Stanisic cross in the fourth and final minute of stoppage time to help Bayern avoid embarrassment.
Bayern have not progressed past the German Cup quarter-finals since winning a record-extending 20th title in the 2019-20 competition. Bayern took the lead on 16 minutes, Kane converting from the spot after Sacha Boey was fouled. The Bundesliga champions did not add a second until the 51st minute, when the impressive Olise took advantage of a defensive error to sweep the ball into the bottom corner.
