Julian Green stole the show on Wednesday.

The Bayern Munich forward was held quiet for most of Wednesday’s DFB-Pokal clash with Augsburg before popping up just before halftime for his side’s second goal. A flicked on header on a cross from Thomas Muller, Green’s finish, his first competitive goal, helped propel Bayern to a 3-1 win that keeps them in the domestic cup competition.

Matt Miazga also helped his side advance in cup play. The on-loan Chelsea defender played all 90 minutes, helping push Vitesse to a 4-1 win over  RKC Waalwijk.

Elsewhere, Lynden Gooch and Jerome Kiesewetter entered as late substitutes in losing efforts, while Perry Kitchen’s Hearts fell, 2-0, to Kilmarnock.

  1. I posit that few would have predicted a few months ago that Rubio Rubin’s development would be slightly stalled while Julian Green’s would see a bit of an uptick. It would be nice to see both gather momentum in their careers as this season goes along.
