Shooting festival for Julian Nagelsmann's cup premiere: Bayern Munich reached the second round of the DFB Cup "in detention" and gave Julian Nagelsmann a perfect cup debut at Bayern with the highest win in 24 years.

The 20-time cup champion didn't give the fifth division club Bremer SV the slightest chance at 12-0 (5-0) in the Weserstadion, even with a better B-team.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (8th, 28th, 35th, 82nd), Jamal Musiala (16th, 48th), Malik Tillman (47th), Leroy Sane (65th), Michael Cuisance (81st), Bouna Sarr (86.) and Corentin Tolisso (88.) scored for Munich.

In addition, Jan-Luca Warm (27.) from Bremen underwent an own goal.

In the final phase, the amateurs from the league only played ten after a red card against Ugo Nobile (76th).

Who the FCB meets in the second round (October 26th / 27th) will be decided by the draw on Sunday in the ARD sports show.

But the eyes of the Bayern bosses first go to Istanbul, where the preliminary round for Nagelsmann's handle pot mission in the Champions League will be drawn on Thursday (6:00 p.m.).

"As FC Bayern we aim for the highest goals year after year, both nationally and internationally," said President Herbert Hainer.

Nagelsmann's cup debut as Bayern coach

In any case, the first step has been taken in the DFB Cup.

From the first second the game was like a relaxed evening stroll, which was only a little clouded by the north German drizzle and renewed whistles against Sane.

The game was originally supposed to take place two and a half weeks ago, but had to be postponed due to several corona cases in the fifth division team.

Nagelsmann used his cup debut as Bayern coach, as announced, to “manage stress”. Six new players came up in comparison to the 3-2 victory in the league against 1. FC Köln. National players Serge Gnabry, Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies first sat on the bench, captain Manuel Neuer, world footballers Robert Lewandowski and Leon Goretzka even stayed at home and were spared for the Bundesliga home game on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) against Hertha BSC .

Of course, that didn't cause any problems on Wednesday evening.

Memories of the cup fiasco in January, when the Munich team surprisingly ended up in the second round against second division Holstein Kiel, never came up.

Another failure against an amateur club like the last one 27 years ago (0: 1 against Vestenbergsgreuth) was never an issue.

The Bremer did not let the mood of the bitter bankruptcy in their "century game" take.

The BSV fans among the 10,093 spectators cheered their team on again and again with chants, and coach Benjamin Eta's team visibly enjoyed the unique trip to the big stage.

For them it is now back to the everyday life of the Oberliga Bremen, in the coming week it will be Leher TS instead of FC Bayern.
