European football: Bayern ease to Cup victory after Kompany leaves hospital

Bayern Munich sailed to a 6-1 win over second-tier Magdeburg in the DFB-Pokal after their head coach, Vincent Kompany, was discharged from hospital earlier on Wednesday.

Kompany’s assistant, Aaron Danks, was in the dugout for Bayern for the last-32 tie, while Harry Kane was rested. The Ballon d’Or winner received a guard of honour from his teammates before kick-off in front of 75,000 fans at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern had no difficulty without their star striker, with Michael Olise opening the scoring and adding a second-half penalty. Ismael Saibari, Alphonso Davies, Nathaniel Brown and teenager David Santos Daiber also got on the scoresheet, with Mateusz Zukowski striking for the visitors.
