BERLIN (AP) \u2014 Harry Kane scored his 25th goal of the season and converted a penalty for Bayern Munich on Wednesday to lead his team into the German Cup quarterfinals with a 3-2 victory over Union Berlin.<\/p>\n

Bayern took the lead through an own goal from Union’s Ilyas Ansah, and Kane headed in Bayern’s second goal from a corner kick in the 23rd minute.<\/p>\n

Leopold Queerfeld got his team back into the game with a penalty after a handball from Bayern defender Jonathan Tarr, and then Diogo Leite’s own goal restored Bayern’s two-goal lead. <\/p>\n

Kurfeld again scored from the spot after the referee ruled that Kane had used his elbow when diving for the ball. The Austrian defender almost completed his hat-trick with a header just wide of the mark in the final minute. <\/p>\n

Bayern advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time since the 2022-23 season. We have never gone beyond that stage since winning the trophy in 2020.<\/p>\n

Bayern are unbeaten in 15 matches against Germany this season. The only game Bayern didn’t win was 2-2 draw with Union<\/span> in the Bundesliga last month.<\/p>\n

Bayern midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic limped off with a left foot injury in the 49th minute.<\/p>\n

Stuttgart marches<\/h2>\n

Stuttgart’s German Cup defense advanced to the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Bochum after a nightmare for Bochum defender Philipp Strompp.<\/p>\n

Stuttgart took the lead in the 12th inning after Stuttgart took a long throw-in and headed it past their own goalkeeper, resulting in Stuttgart being sent off just before halftime. He lost the ball to Deniz Undav and committed a foul on Undav when the Stuttgart striker should have been aiming for goal.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the break, Unduff doubled Stuttgart’s lead with a header, and the team went on to win against second-tier Bochum.<\/p>\n

Freiburg defeated second division Darmstadt 2-0 thanks to Vincenzo Grifo’s penalty and Lukas Heller’s additional goal. Grifo hit the crossbar with his second penalty late in the match.<\/p>\n

Holstein Kiel, who are in the second division, came close to losing in overtime, but overcame the leaders Hamburger SV in a penalty shootout. After a goal from Hamburg’s Bakery Jatta, a 118th-minute goal from Phil Hares kept Kiel in contention.<\/p>\n
