Won 4-0 (3-0) – that was a clear thing for FC Bayern Munich in the first DFB Cup main round against third division team Preußen Münster. Even before the break, the Munich team secured the preliminary decision in a one-sided game with goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Konrad Laimer and Frans Krätzig. Mathys Tel even increased the score to 4-0 shortly before the end. Progression was never in danger against staid Westphalia.
Forearm fracture: Gnabry will be out for weeks
The only downside was the injury to Serge Gnabry, who had to be substituted early after a collision. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel revealed the terrible diagnosis after the game: “He has a fractured forearm and will be out for a few weeks.” The attacker is scheduled to undergo surgery on Wednesday. “This is extremely bitter, especially for him personally, but also for us. He is simply an important player,” said Tuchel.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel had to tackle the encounter without three regular central defenders, and striker Harry Kane was initially rested. Instead of the Englishman, who initially sat on the bench, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting played in the center of the attack. Leon Goretzka and Noussair Mazraoui took over the central defense positions as Min-jae Kim, Dayot Upamecano and Matthjis de Ligt were all injured.
Kane replacement Choupo-Moting takes a snap: First chance, first goal
As planned, new signing Daniel Peretz also celebrated his competitive debut for the record cup winners in goal. Compared to the 7-0 win against VfL Bochum last Saturday, Goretzka and Serge Gnabry, Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala were new in the starting line-up. But Choupo-Moting set the first exclamation mark. The 34-year-old took advantage of Bayern’s first chance. His shot in the 9th minute after a cross from the left found the net.
So Bayern were on track early in front of the 12,794 spectators in the sold-out Preußenstadion. Even the shocking moment with Gnabry didn’t change anything: the national player injured his left arm in a collision with Münster keeper Johannes Schenk and had to be substituted. Diagnosis: fracture of the forearm.
The young Frans Krätzig was now in the game for him, and he almost scored with his first touch of the ball (12th). Schenk had something against it.
FCB loan player Schenk prevents a bigger deficit
In general, Johannes Schenk: The goalkeeper, who is on loan to Münster from FC Bayern and, like his counterpart Peretz, played his first game of the season, presented himself strongly and subsequently also kept balls from Musiala and Choupo-Moting and his Prussians in the game. Only Konrad Laimer was able to defeat him again with a header into the far corner (40th). At the latest when Krätzig scored from close range in injury time of the first half (45th + 5), the game was decided before the half-time whistle. It was his first competitive goal for Bayern in their cup debut.
