Harry Kane scored a final winner of Bayern Munich in a dramatic 3-2 victory at the third row Wehen Wiesbaden in the German Cup First Round on Wednesday.
Bayern was two goals up and cruising not long after the break thanks to a Kane penalty, his 31st successful Spot kick in a row for Club and Country, and the goal of Michael Olise.
But Wiesbaden Captain Fatih Kaya scored twice in five minutes to drag his side back in the game.
Kane was felled in the box, but had saved his 76th minute Spot-Kick, his first missed penalty since he shot the bar for England against France in the quarterfinals of the World Cup 2022.
He, however, was redeemed, on his way to a Josip Stanisic Cross in the fourth and final minute of the stopping time to help prevent Bayern.
Bayern has not been advanced by the quarterfinals of the German cup since winning a record-expanding 20th title in the 2019-2020 competition.

The Bavarians took the lead in 16 minutes, Kane converted from the spot after Sacha Boey was polluted.
The Bundesliga champion only added a second for the 51st minute, when the impressive Olise used a defensive error to wipe the ball in the bottom corner.
Bayern looked on course for a routine victory until Wiesbaden Summer Signing Niklas May curled in an excellent cross for Kaya to reduce the shortage in the 64th minute with a sliding volley.
The goal inspired the hosts, who grabbed an equalizer when a long ball was flooded forward by Moritz Flotho, making Kaya clean on goal to score again.
Kane stepped up for a new penalty, but was refused by a brilliant rescue by keeper Florian Stritzel, who did just as well to keep the follow -up effort of the Captain of the England out before the ball was clearly cultivated.
Kane, however, had the last smile, jumped high to nod in and break the hearts of Wiesbaden.
The draw for the second round takes place on Sunday.
