Cup: Bayern advance with a mandatory win

In front of 20.600 spectators in the completely sold out Friendship Stadium, Robert Lewandowski (39th), Kingsley Coman (64th) and Leon Goretzka (85th) scored the goals for the 19-time cup winners. In stoppage time, Berkan Taz shortened the score with a penalty kick (90+2). It was Lewandowski's 34th cup goal. The Pole thus moved level with the leading Peruvian Claudio Pizarro (Werder Bremen) in the list of active cup scorers.

Four days before the start of the Bundesliga with the home game against Hertha BSC on Friday (20.30 p.m./ZDF and DAZN), Bayern's game often seemed poorly thought out and at times harmless. As in the 0-2 defeat in the Supercup final against Borussia Dortmund, there was a lack of efficiency up front. The Cottbus fans sang: "German champions - no one knows why."

Bayern coach Niko Kovac took the game against the regional league team extremely seriously and did not spare his stars. Robert Lewandowski started at the front, Thomas Müller and Kingsley Coman came down the wings. In the headquarters, world champion Benjamin Pavard defended alongside Niklas Süle, but seemed very unsure. Jerome Boateng, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry initially only sat on the bench.

In the middle of the first half, the pressure from the 1-time champions increased. After a cross from Joshua Kimmich, Coman initially failed, but Lewandowski was there to make it 29-1. Shortly before the break, Coman (0th) hit the crossbar with his head. In return, Felix Brügmann had the score 39-1 with a shot on the move.

Bayern were also superior at the beginning of the second half, but the Munich team repeatedly lost the ball unnecessarily, so that Cottbus was able to counter and even kept the game open for a long time. The Cottbus spectators sensed a sensation and loudly pushed their team forward.

Wolfsburg escapes cup embarrassment Football Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg struggled to reach the second round of the DFB Cup in their first competitive game under their new coach Oliver Glasner. On Monday, the Wolves defeated third division side Hallescher FC 5:3 (3:3, 1:1) after extra time despite being behind and outnumbered. Nevertheless, they still have to improve a lot before the start of the Bundesliga on Saturday against newly promoted 1. FC Köln. KSC throws Hannover out of the cup - Stuttgart with a tremor victory For Bundesliga relegated Hannover 96, the false start to the new season is perfect. After only one point from 2 games in the championship, the Lower Saxony team said goodbye in the first round of the DFB Cup with a 1:0 (2:0) at second division promoted Karlsruher SC.

Things could get uncomfortable for the new 96er coach Mirko Slomka early in the season after the bankruptcy at his old place of work. The last time Hannover failed in the first round of the cup was in the 2010/11 season.

Things went better for fellow relegated team VfB Stuttgart, who won 1-0 (1-0) at third division team Hansa Rostock. Stuttgart, which as a first division team lost 0-2 in the first round in Rostock last season, once again struggled in the Ostseestadion. After Hamadi Al Ghaddioui took the lead (19th), the Swabians had to worry about progressing until the end.
