BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich beat Germany's Bundesliga rivals Roedinghausen 4-1 in the last six games on Tuesday in the second round of the German Cup.
The Bavarians made it 2-0 in the first half through Sandro Wagner and Thomas Mueller (13) and Rodinghausen narrowed the lead in the 50th minute by Linus Meyer.
Bayern have pressed hard since the start of the match against their modest opponent, and managed to score twice early. The first goal came after Wagner's cross from Renato Sanchez from the left.
The Portuguese contributed mainly to the Bayern movement in the first half, and received a penalty minutes after the first goal, after being blocked by Daniel Flutman, translated by Muller successfully to the left of goalkeeper Niklas Haemin.
Ten minutes after the second goal, Bayern got a second penalty, this time after Leon Goritska was hit in the forbidden area by the Bosnian Azur Vigelish. Sanchez took the lead, but his powerful shot bounced off the corner of the net.
After Bayern, whose Croatian coach Nico Kovac started with the most important players such as goalkeeper Manuel Noire, Muller, Franck Ribery, Spaniard Tiago Alcantara and Austrian David Alba, will be heading towards an easy result, Rodinghausen lifted his performance in the second half of the first half.
The second half was in the second half of the game, determined to try to reduce the gap, and they were close to just 15 seconds from the start, but Inghlmann's shot from within the area hit Noir's goal.
The host did not wait long to score his first goal, and came in the 50th minute when Meyer made a perfect cross from Kelvin Lunga from the right, and turned it into the net in Noir's goal, despite Brazilian Ravenna's attempt to block him.
It is the fourth win of Bayern in the competition after a draw and two losses in the Bundesliga late last month and early this month and will continue his campaign in the Cup, which lost its final match last season against Eintracht Frankfurt, which was then coach Kovac himself.
Bayern have the record number of trophies (18) and are seeking to win the title for the first time since 2016.
It was also the second hard win for Bayern in the trophy this season, after passing the first round with a goal of orphaned at the expense of Droghtrsen / Asel of the fourth grade, scored by Polish striker Robert Levandowski, who missed the meeting on Tuesday.
