Bayern Munich advanced to the German Cup final after a commanding 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinal held on April 23, 2026. Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 22nd minute following a precise exchange with Luis Díaz, while Díaz sealed the win with a stoppage-time goal. Leverkusen goalkeeper Mark Flekken made eight crucial saves to keep his team in contention, but the pressure from Bayern proved too strong.

Leverkusen had a chance to equalize in the second half when Nathan Tella’s powerful shot was denied by Bayern’s goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, a moment that became decisive in the match. Bayern continued to press for a second goal, which finally came from a swift counterattack involving Kim Min-jae, Leon Goretzka, and Díaz.

With this win, Bayern Munich return to the German Cup final after several years. They will face the winner of the second semifinal between Stuttgart and Freiburg in the title match.
