It’s corner after corner for Bayern but there’s no way through this determined Holstein Kiel defence. Pavard strikes from just inside the box but his effort is blocked heroically.

Holstein Kiel have three men down with cramp as Davies gives a freekick away. The team from the German second flight are holding on for dear life.
116'
The hosts work the ball into the Bayern box, but Serra can’t turn his shot goalward. The effort has helped to ease the pressure for now though.

113'
Davies whips in another dangerous delivery from the left wing but Wahl does brilliantly to clear the danger.
110'
Costa whips a dangerous cross in from the left wing, but Lewandowski just can’t reach the delivery. Bayern are really pushing for a late winner now.
108'
The referee blows for a Holstein Kiel freekick on the halfway line as Roca hacks down Hauptmann. That could have easily been a yellow card for the Spaniard.
106'
We're back underway for the second half of extra time in this DFB-Pokal clash.
105'
D. Alaba enters the game and replaces C. Tolisso.
HALF-TIME IN EXTRA TIME: HOLSTEIN KIEL 2-2 BAYERN MUNICH.
Alaba replaces Tolisso in midfield for the away side.
100'
The hosts are doing very well to press their opponents from the front again. Serra in particular is looking to chase down every loose ball.
97'
Reese cuts in from the left for the hosts but his effort flies well wide of Neuer’s goal.
95'
Kimmich strikes from distance but Wahl does well to block his effort. Bayern are piling the pressure on in search of a winner.
93'

90' +6
END OF 90 MINUTES: HOLSTIEN KIEL 2-2 BAYERN MUNICH.
90' +5
H. Wahl has scored a goal for Holstein Kiel! Assist by J. van den Bergh.
GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! 2-2. HOLSTEIN KIEL LEVEL IN THE FINAL MINUTE!!! A ball is whipped into the Bayern box and Wahl is there to head home from close range. Unbelievable! Extra time surely to follow.
That was a brilliant cross from van den Bergh for the late equaliser.
90' +3
Kimmich is down on the decks here after landing awkwardly after an aerial challenge. Hopefully that isn’t too serious an injury for the Bayern star.
90' +2
Marc Roca enters the game and replaces S. Gnabry.
A final late change for Bayern as Roca replaces Gnabry in midfield.
90' +1
Serra stamps on Hernandez by accident but the referee blows for a Bayern foul. That’ll alleviate some of the pressure.
90'
There’ll be a minimum of three minutes of additional time played here in Kiel. Can the hosts grab an unlikely leveller late on?
87'
Could there be a late sting in the tail for Bayern in this DFB-Pokal match? The reigning champions haven't been at their brilliant best tonight and with only one goal separating the two sides, Holstein Kiel are still very much in this clash.
85'
B. Pavard enters the game and replaces B. Sarr.
A switch at right-back for the visitors as Pavard comes on for the final five minutes. Sarr - who has played very well tonight - departs for Bayern.
84'
J. Serra enters the game and replaces J. Meffert.
A. Arslan enters the game and replaces A. Mühling.

81'

80'
M. Komenda enters the game and replaces S. Thesker.
79'
It’s so much fun watching Davies play football. His pace and trickery are almost impossible to defend against at times with he decides to maraud forward. The Canadian defender has given Dehm a torrid time all night.
77'
N. Hauptmann enters the game and replaces F. Porath.
F. Reese enters the game and replaces J. Mees.
The hosts respond with a double substituion of their own. Reese replaces Mees in the first switch.
Hauptmann - on loan from Bundesliga side FC Koln - joins the action at the expensive of Porath at the same time.
76'
The overall play has got largely sloppy over the past five minutes. Bayern really need to up their game here in order to see out this result and progress in the DFB-Pokal. Those two recent introductions could help with that!
74'
R. Lewandowski enters the game and replaces J. Musiala.
Douglas Costa enters the game and replaces L. Sané.
A first change of the night from Bayern as Costa replaces Sane out wide.
Star striker Lewandowski is also called upon to try and finish off the hosts. Musiala departs as a result.
71'
The rain has now turned to snow and it’s starting to fall heavily. We might need to switch to the orange ball before this clash finishes.
64'
Tolisso really needs to offer more in the Bayern midfield alongside Kimmich. The French international has been wasteful in possession throughout and could be the first to be replaced by boss Hansi Flick at this rate.
61'
N. Süle gets yellow.
Sule goes into the book after hacking down Porath on the left wing.
60'
The hosts are really pressing from the front now. Since Bayern’s second goal, Kiel have done well to get in the face of their Bundesliga opponents, but will they be able to keep this intensity up for the remainder of this DFB-Pokal clash?
58'
After the hosts fantastic response to their second goal, Bayern have opted to try and take the sting out of this match a little. The visitors are knocking it around the back patiently waiting for another opening in the Holstein Kiel defence.
55'
Muhling delivers the subsequent set piece but Muller does well to clear under pressure from Lee. Bayern break and force a corner at the other end. Kimmich delivers and Thesker has to clear from under his own crossbar for another Bayern corner.
53'
Hernandez chops down Bartels and the hosts have a dangerous freekick. They’ll throw everybody into the Bayern box for this one.
51'
At 32-years-old, Holstein Kiel manager Ole Werner is the youngest manager in Germany’s top three divisions. With his side sitting third in the German second division, he will be hoping to gain promotion this year and face Bayern again next season. His team are giving them as good as they get tonight.
47'
L. Sané has scored a goal for Bayern Munich!
GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! 2-1 BAYERN. SANE WITH A BEAUTY!!!! What a goal this is from the former Manchester City man. The German forward steps up to a freekick 25 yards from goal and wraps his left-footed effort into the top corner of the host’s goal.
46'
Both sets of players are back out on the field and the second half begins. No substitutions for either side at the break.

45' +1
J. Meffert gets yellow.
Meffert is booked for synically bringing down Musiala who was breaking through the hosts' midfield.
45'
There’ll be a minimum of one minute of additional time to be played. Kiel are really pressuring Bayern here before the break.
43'
Sarr flashes a ball into the box but Wahl does well to turn it behind for a corner. Sane delivers but Sule’s headed effort goes wide.
39'
The ball is in the back of the Bayern net again as Lee finishes from close range but the flag is up for offside on the near side. That was a very tight call!
37'
F. Bartels has scored a goal for Holstein Kiel! Assist by J. Dehm.
Dehm gets the assist after we found the onrushing Bartels with his launch up the field.
GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!! 1-1. HOLSTEIN KIEL LEVEL THROUGH BARTELS!!!! It’s as simple as it gets for the hosts as the ball is lumped up the field by Dehm. Bartels latches onto the pass, takes a few touches to steady himself and then unleashes an unstoppable shot into the far bottom corner of the Bayern net from 20 yards out. Game on!
35'
Sule plays an inch perfect through ball to Sarr on the right wing but there’s nobody in support for the defender to cut his pass back to. The former Marseille man has looked very dangerous cutting in from his wing so far this evening.
33'
What a player Bayern Munich midfielder Kimmich is. The German international has been key to everything the visitors have produced so far tonight in an attacking sense with his sharp passing. He’s also fantastic at sitting in the centre of the park and shielding his defence.
31'
Penalty shouts from the visitors are waved away by the referee. Sarr broke into the opposition box after a one-two with Muller but the defender looked to already be falling before any contact was made.
29'
If the hosts are going to get back into this DFB-Pokal clash, then expect Lee to be involved in the build-up. The South Korean midfielder has looked excellent so far tonight with his close control.
24'
Muller finds space out on the right and delivers a cross towards Gnabry at the back post. The forward meets the ball but his effort is weak and doesn’t trouble the opposing goalkeeper.
19'
It’s been a good response from the hosts who are starting to control more of the possession now. The Holstein Kiel forwards are working very hard to press the Bayern defenders when they have the ball to try and force a mistake.
17'
Replays of the opening goal show that Gnabry was infact offside but there’s no VAR in use tonight in this DFB-Pokal fixture. That’s a tough one to swallow for the hosts but ultimately, Gelios should have done much better.
14'
S. Gnabry has scored a goal for Bayern Munich!
GOOOOOAALLLLLL!!! 1-0 BAYERN. GNABRY!!!! A ball is floated into the penalty area and Muller nods the ball down to try and find the onrushing Gnabry. Gelios races out of his net though to intercept and gets there but his clearance only hits the German forward who then coolly converts from six yards out. The Holstein Kiel goalkeeper won’t want to see that one again.
10'
The first shot of the night comes from the visitors. Muller controls a cross and lays the ball off to Kimmich on the edge of the Holstein Kiel area. The Bayern midfielder hits it first time, but his effort ends up well wide of the mark.
8'
The hosts are growing into this one after Bayern's strong start. Granted the visitors are still controlling the majority of the ball but both van den Bergh and Dehm are doing well out wide in defence to limit the space Sane and Musiala have.
5'
It looks like Gnabry has indeed started as the lone striker for the visitors but expect him and Muller to frequently switch positions in an effort to break down this stubborn Holstein Kiel defence.
3'
After their loss to Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday evening in the Bundesliga, Bayern boss Hansi Flick will be looking for a response from his side tonight. So far, they’ve dominated the early possession in this DFB-Pokal match.

Referee Robert Schroder blows his whistle and we’re underway here in northern Germany!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this DFB-Pokal fixture between Holstein Kiel and Bayern Munich.

Reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich face tough opposition in Holstein Kiel tonight in the second round of Germany’s DFB-Pokal. Before the clash, Bayern boss Hansi Flick has warned his side that the hosts – who currently sit third in 2. Bundesliga – have ‘nothing to lose’ tonight and for his men to expect a difficult match as they travel to the very north of the country. As a result, it’s expected that we’ll see a strong Bayern side tonight as the Bavarians continue the defence of their German cup crown.
BAYERN MUNICH SUBS: Alexander Nubel, Benjamin Pavard, Javi Martinez, Robert Lewandowski, Douglas Costa, Joshua Zirkzee, Jerome Boateng, Marc Roca, David Alaba.

The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick-off is just moments away.
Hansi Flick may have to turn to his bench to force another breakthrough in this DFB-Pokal match. Lewandowski may be called upon sooner rather than later.
Little to report of in the first half of extra time with neither side forcing a big chance of note. Bayern need to conjure something up soon to avoid the dreaded penalty shoot-out.
That late equaliser for the home side forces extra time here in Kiel. Bayern Munich will be absolutely kicking themselves but in truth, the Bundesliga side don't really deserve to be ahead.

Arslan follows suit and also strikes into the bottom left corner. 2-2.
Kimmich is up next and he smashes his effort into the bottom left corner of the Kiel goal.
Serra confident steps up and sweeps his effort into the bottom right corner of the Bayern goal. 3-3

Holstein Kiel respond again through Hauptmann. 5-5.
GOAL!!! BARTELS CONVERTS AND BAYERN ARE OUT OF THE DFB-POKAL!!!
SAVE! Roca steps up and his effort is saved by Gelios!!
FULL-TIME: HOLSTEIN KIEL 2-2 BAYERN MUNICH (6-5 PENS)
