"Vincent Kompany's side were stifled in the first half by Leipzig goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt, only to surge into the ascendancy after the interval. Harry Kane's 64th-minute penalty broke the deadlock before Luis Diaz's well-taken strike three minutes later sent Bayern out of sight and into the semi-finals. Leipzig thought they had taken an early lead when Christoph Baumgartner lashed home, only for the on-field decision to be overturned after a VAR check found him offside from Yan Diomande's pass."
"Castello Lukeba and Vandevoordt combined to keep out an effort in response from Kane, who then blazed over another chance after Diaz had fired off target moments before. Manuel Neuer then denied David Raum's fizzing strike, while Vandevoordt somehow clawed away Kane's header and produced a brilliant stop against Serge Gnabry's curling attempt either side of half-time. But Vandevoordt caused his own downfall by tripping Josip Stanisic, with Kane slamming home from 12 yards before Michael Olise's gorgeous pass teed up Diaz to convert just minutes later."
Bayern Munich defeated RB Leipzig 2-0 at the Allianz Arena to reach the DFB-Pokal semi-finals for the first time in six years. Leipzig generated early threat with Maarten Vandevoordt making several crucial saves and Christoph Baumgartner's effort ruled out by VAR for offside. Bayern grew into the game after half-time when Vandevoordt fouled Josip Stanisic, allowing Harry Kane to convert a 64th-minute penalty. Three minutes later Michael Olise delivered a gorgeous pass for Luis Diaz to score. Manuel Neuer denied David Raum and Olise nearly added a late goal as Bayern secured progression.
