Bayern Munich secured a comfortable 6-1 victory over second-tier side Magdeburg in the second round of the German Cup, easing their way into the next stage of the tournament. Michael Olise scored twice for the hosts, with Ismael Saibari, Alphonso Davies, Nathaniel Brown, and teenager David Santos Daiber also adding their names to the scoresheet during a dominant second-half performance.

The match also brought updates regarding the health of head coach Vincent Kompany, who purportedly collapsed during a training session last week due to a reported meningeal irritation. According to board member for sport Max Eberl, the Belgian manager was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday to rest and take medication, though no official timetable has been provided for his return to the technical area.

Newly-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane was rested for the fixture, remaining an unused substitute on the bench as the club reportedly manages his heavy workload. Prior to kickoff, the England captain was honored with a guard of honour by the crowd and his teammates at the Allianz Arena following his historic individual award.

The German giants now prepare for a critical domestic clash against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, followed by a challenging Champions League trip to face Atletico Madrid in Spain. Assistant coach Aaron Danks has continued to oversee team duties in Kompany's ongoing absence.
