The first semi-final of the DFB Pokal was the highlight of the two games, with Bayern Munich travelling to Bayer Leverkusen.

With the first portion of the first 45 being largely dominated by the visitors, they would be rewarded when they took the lead in the 22nd minute from Harry Kane, when, for his standards, he was left open in the Leverkusen box and was able to get a shot off to make it 1-0.

The second half saw the hosts be a lot more proactive on the ball, but still far too ineffective in attack. In the whole game, they would manage four shots, and only one shot on target (via FotMob). Considering Leverkusen’s performance in the last meeting between the two last month, this was a big drop off, and a very poor showing from die Werkself.

However, Bayern were still far the better team in attack, and if it were not for Mark Flekken making eight saves, the scoreline would have been a lot worse. Vincent Kompany’s side would then be rewarded for their performance when Luis Diaz made it 2-0 with more or less the last kick of the game to send the Bundesliga champions to Berlin.
