Bayern Edge Union Berlin 3–2 in Set-Piece, VAR-Laden Cup Tie to Reach Quarterfinals

Bayern also lost Aleksandar Pavlovic to an early second-half injury.

Overview

  • All five goals came from dead balls, with own goals by Ilyas Ansah and Diogo Leite and a Harry Kane header accounting for Bayern’s tally.
  • Leopold Querfeld converted two penalties (40', 55') to pull Union back into contention.
  • A VAR review identified a Jonathan Tah handball that led to Union’s first spot kick.
  • Kane conceded the second penalty for an elbow on Leite, and Union’s late surge brought key saves from Manuel Neuer and an offside ruling against Luis Díaz.
  • Tah was loudly booed throughout by Union supporters, reflecting lingering tensions from a disputed 2021 incident involving Florian Hübner and Nadiem Amiri.
