DFB-Pokal: Mainz – Bayern 0:4! Magic Musiala versenkt Mainz
Bayern continues its impressive run
FC Bayern Munich continued its impressive run in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday evening, beating 1. FSV Mainz 05 4-0 in the round of 16. Jamal Musiala was the star of the show for Bayern, scoring two goals and setting up another.
Bayern was in control of the game from the start, and it took the lead in the 17th minute when Musiala fired home a rebound after Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner had saved an effort from Thomas Müller.
Musiala doubled Bayern's lead in the 30th minute, finishing off a fine team move involving Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sané. The visitors continued to dominate after the break, and they added two more goals in the second half through Sadio Mané and Müller.
Mainz offered little resistance
Mainz offered little resistance throughout the game, and Bayern could have won by an even greater margin. The victory was Bayern's eighth in a row in all competitions, and it keeps them on course for a treble of Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League titles.
Musiala continues to shine
Musiala has been in excellent form for Bayern this season, and he was once again the standout performer against Mainz. The 19-year-old has now scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, and he is one of the most exciting young players in world football.
Bayern will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga. They will then face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on February 14.
