Oosting was only presented at Antwerp on Tuesday, so the Dutch manager did not yet have many opportunities to shape the team to his will. Still, it looked good then Kerk The Great Old took the lead after fifteen minutes. However, STVV’s answer did not take long, because within two minutes the score was level again thanks to Keisuke Goto.

Shortly afterwards, Antwerp took the lead again, but the score became 2-2 in injury time of the first half. In the second half there was Kerk again, who gave Oosting’s team the lead for the third time, but just like with the 1-0, Sint-Truiden quickly had an answer through Goto again.
After 90 minutes the score was 3-3 and after 120 minutes the score was still unchanged. So penalties had to be taken to make the decision. Vincent Janssen used the first for Antwerp, while STVV missed the first. PSV mercenary Isaac Babadi also scored moments later, after which the visitors also failed on the fourth attempt from eleven meters.

Bayern led 3-1 at halftime, partly thanks to two Union own goals, from Ilyas Ansah and Diogo Leite. Harry Kane also scored again for Bayern, which last won the German cup tournament in 2020. Last season, Bayern Munich failed in the eighth finals against Bayer Leverkusen.
