Kane scores again as Bayern progress
Harry Kane scored his 25th Bayern Munich goal of the season and gave away a penalty as Bayern reached the German Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over Union Berlin.
Bayern took the lead with an own goal from Union’s Ilyas Ansah before Kane headed in Bayern’s second at a corner in the 23rd minute.
A handball by Bayern defender Jonathan Tah allowed Leopold Querfeld to get his side back into the game with a penalty before another own goal, this time by Diogo Leite, restored Bayern’s two-goal lead.
Querfeld scored from the spot again when the referee judged Kane had used his elbow while jumping for the ball. The Austrian defender nearly had a hat trick late on when he sent a header narrowly wide.
In Italy, Napoli reached the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup by winning a lengthy penalty shootout against Cagliari following a 1-1 draw.
Antonio Conte’s team eventually prevailed 9-8 on penalties with Mattia Felici hitting the crossbar with his spot kick for Cagliari and Zito Luvumbo having his saved by Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
David Neres could have secured the win for Napoli with his team’s fifth penalty, after Felici’s miss, but his spot kick was saved by Elia Caprile.
The match had finished 1-1 after Lorenzo Lucca’s first-half header for Napoli was canceled out by Sebastiano Esposito in the 67th minute, following an accidental assist by home midfielder Scott McTominay.
Napoli will play either Fiorentina or Como in the quarter-finals.
Inter moved into the last eight with a crushing 5-1 victory over Venezia — the only Serie B team left in the competition.
