Jamal Musiala’s hat-trick secured Bayern Munich a 4-0 victory against Mainz, sending them into the German Cup’s last 16. The 21-year-old star opened the scoring just two minutes in, with an assist from Harry Kane placing him 10 meters out, allowing Musiala to drive home the opening goal. His second goal came from a Kane header rebound, pushing Bayern ahead even without VAR, as it only applies later in the tournament.

Leroy Sane further extended Bayern’s lead just before halftime, and Musiala completed his hat-trick by capitalizing on a loose ball in the box, ending the first half with an emphatic 4-0 scoreline. Teammate Joshua Kimmich praised Musiala’s ability to impact the game beyond his scoring, highlighting his influence on Bayern’s success.

Bayern’s recent German Cup performances have seen them struggle, being eliminated early in four of the past five seasons, including a surprise upset by third-division Saarbrücken last year. However, with Musiala and Kane’s powerful performances, Bayern aims to add another trophy to their record 20 German Cup titles.

Elsewhere in the tournament, third-division Arminia Bielefeld stunned Union Berlin with a 2-0 win, while Darmstadt edged Dynamo Dresden 3-2 in extra time. Eintracht Frankfurt defeated Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-1, with Omar Marmoush’s goal marking his 11th this season.

Bayern’s dominating win marks a hopeful turn as they continue their campaign in the German Cup, hoping to reestablish their supremacy in the tournament.
