The DFB-Pokal first round featured a high-profile matchup between VfL Osnabrück and defending champion FC Bayern München on September 2, 2026. The fixture was moved from its original date to accommodate the Supercup. VfL Osnabrück hosted the match at the Bremer Brücke stadium. Seeking to replicate their historic 1978 upset against Bayern, coach Timo Schultz stated the team intended to “go all in” and hoped for a “perfect day” to secure a second-round spot. Osnabrück supporters also drew attention with a large-scale 3D choreography featuring a ‘death train’ to represent the club’s history. FC Bayern München, led by coach Vincent Kompany, secured a 4-1 comeback victory to advance to the second round. The match began with an early scare for the visitors when Osnabrück’s Robin Meißner scored a long-range goal in the fifth minute. Bayern responded through Harry Kane, who scored his first two goals of the 2026/27 season in the 18th and 86th minutes (the latter via a penalty). Tom Bischof added a goal in the 24th minute, and Michael Olise secured the win in the 73rd minute. Defender Kim Min-jae played the full 90 minutes, recording a 98% pass completion rate. Kane’s performance marked his 150th competitive appearance for the club, bringing his career tally to 148 goals for Bayern. Despite a recent goal drought, the striker expressed pride in reaching the milestone and praised the intense atmosphere provided by the Osnabrück supporters. Additionally, club officials and sporting director Christoph Freund noted that discussions regarding a contract extension for Kane are ongoing, with a “positive trend” reported in negotiations. Kompany expressed satisfaction with his team’s ability to “remain calm and exploit spaces” after the initial shock. Regarding squad updates, Jamal Musiala did not feature due to ongoing medical adjustments for a neurological condition.
