Defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich defeated RB Leipzig 2-0 in a key quarter-final match of the 2025/26 German Cup, thanks to goals from Kane and Diaz. Manager Kompany stated that his players performed solidly and capitalized on their scoring opportunities.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Stanisic was brought down by Leipzig goalkeeper Van der Walter while dribbling forward, resulting in a penalty for Bayern Munich. Kane then converted the penalty, giving Bayern Munich a 1-0 lead.

In the 67th minute, Olise made a diagonal pass, and Diaz received the pass and scored, helping Bayern Munich extend their lead to 2-0.

Bayern Munich ultimately defeated RB Leipzig 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, successfully advancing to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said, "The team played very solidly, although we could have scored more goals, and we had enough chances to score one or two more. Overall, we created many good opportunities. We are happy with the 2-0 victory and that we have reached the semi-finals."

"Although we were more efficient in previous matches, we remained calm and composed, didn't make any foolish moves, and just patiently waited for our opportunity. When the opportunity came, we seized it well, and I never had any doubts. Everyone staying healthy will be a huge help for us in the matches in March and April."

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said, "We have a clear game plan because we know that as the game progresses and we keep putting pressure on Leipzig, especially in the second half, we will definitely get our chances."

"Keeping a clean sheet is certainly very important, but there are always some dangerous situations in a game, especially from set pieces or headers. We withstood the pressure, and I think we maintained mature control of the game until the final whistle."

Kimmich added, "We didn't have enough control of the game in the first 20 minutes, and Leipzig was full of threats. We made too many mistakes when in possession, and the opponent pressed us too easily. After that, we gradually took control of the game, played more steadily in the second half, gave the opponent very few chances, maintained a threat in attack, and ultimately sealed the victory."

"Most importantly, we gave them almost no chances in the final stages of the game, keeping them away from the goal. Of course, we hope the semi-final can be played at home. We certainly want to go to Berlin, and everyone is very confident now."
