"The Bayern right-back awkwardly stuck his leg in on a challenge right at the edge of the Bayern box to bring down Leipzig attacker Antonio Nusa as he charged forward. It was around the half-hour mark, with the score still nil-nil. Nusa fell to the turf inside the box, and eventually the referee flashed a yellow - but only at the Leipzig bench after Werner's protests."
"Stanišić would go on to earn a penalty for his side in the second half after forcing Leipzig keeper Maarten Vandevoordt into a desperate foul. That resulted in Bayern's opening goal, and, in short order, the clinching second one arrived as well. From there, it was good night to Leipzig's hopes of progressing in the cup. Werner is certainly right in one way at least: tonight, the critical moments all belonged to Bayern."
Bayern right-back Josip Stanišić appeared to avoid a penalty after awkwardly sticking his leg in on a challenge at the edge of the Bayern box to bring down Leipzig attacker Antonio Nusa around the half-hour mark. Referee play continued without a foul call and only flashed a yellow at the Leipzig bench after protests. Leipzig coach Ole Werner called the decision "absolutely insane" and maintained the contact was on the line. In the second half Stanišić earned a penalty after forcing a foul on keeper Maarten Vandevoordt; Bayern converted and added a second to win 2-0 and progress.
