BERLIN: Bayern Munich squeezed past 10-man RB Leipzig in Wednesday’s (Thursday in Manila) dramatic German Cup second-round clash with a 5-4 win in a penalty shoot-out after Timo Werner missed the final crucial kick. When Bayern converted all five of their spot-kicks, all the pressure was on Leipzig star Werner for the crucial 10th penalty. The 21-year-old Germany striker had his head in his hands as his weak shot was saved by Munich’s shot-stopper Sven Ulreich. Bayern had an almighty scare on 35 minutes when Arturo Vidal brought down Forsberg right on the edge of the penalty area. Bayern had another penalty scare when Jerome Boateng clattered Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin on 51 minutes.
