DFB-Pokal Drama: Wehen Wiesbaden Nearly Stuns Bayern Munich
When it comes to the DFB-Pokal, there’s always something unpredictable — especially when Bayern Munich are involved. Despite being Germany’s most dominant force, the record champions have had their fair share of stumbles in the nation’s premier cup competition. And on this occasion, it was third-tier side Wehen Wiesbaden who came dangerously close to writing their name into the history books.
At 2-0 up just after halftime, thanks to early strikes from Bayern's attacking line, it seemed like a routine victory was on the cards for the reigning Bundesliga champions. But football, as always, had other ideas.
Wehen Wiesbaden, with nothing to lose, mounted an unexpected comeback — equalizing in dramatic fashion and putting the Munich giants under real pressure. The upset was in the air, and for a brief moment, fans started to believe the impossible could become reality.
Enter Harry Kane. The English star, who’s already proving to be Bayern’s most crucial asset this season, once again stepped up when it mattered most. His late intervention spared Munich’s side from an early and embarrassing exit.
