Hertha Berlin 2-3 Bayern Munich
(Mittelstädt 3', Selke 67' — Gnabry 7', 49', Coman 98')
Olympiastadion, Berlin

Kingsley Coman headed in the decisive goal for Bayern Munich in extra time as they beat Hertha Berlin 3-2 in the German capital on Wednesday.

Serge Gnabry's two goals weren't enough for the 18-time German Cup winners in regulation as Davie Selke capitalized on a mental error from Mats Hummels to score the equalizer that sent the game into extra time. But Coman provided the decisive goal eight minutes into the extra period, heading in a cross from Robert Lewandowski.

It was the French forward's third goal of the season in all competitions and his second since returning from an ankle injury that shelved him for three months.

Quick strikes

The match got off to a roaring start as both sides found the back of the net in the first 10 minutes.

Hertha's Max Mittelstädt struck first, combining with Salomon Kalou and firing a shot under the dive of backup goalkeeper Sven Ulreich. But Bayern came up with a quick response; Niklas Stark cleared a cross from Joshua Kimmich into the path of Serge Gnabry, who buried a one-time effort into the back of the net.

Gnabry doubled Bayern's lead shortly after the break, which all but clinched his Man of the Match award. James Rodriguez threaded a ball to the German international who then fires a shot inside the far post. Hummels then gifted Hertha an equalizer, weakly heading a pass to Ulreich which Selke snatched and fired into an empty net.

But Coman's strike was all Bayern needed in extra time as Hertha failed to unleash an effort in the extra 30 minutes.

With the victory, Bayern Munich joined fellow Bundesliga sides Schalke, Leipzig, Augsburg and Werder Bremen as well as second division sides Hamburg, Heidenheim and Paderborn in the quarterfinals. The draw is set to take place on Sunday.

Other results on Wednesday:

Holstein Kiel 0-1 Augsburg
Leipzig 1-0 Wolfsburg

As it happened…

— Niko Kovac on Mats Hummel's mistake on ARD: "It happens. He probably saw Ulreich in the corner of his eye and try to play the ball into his hands, but the communication didn't work."

— Goalscorer Davie Selke to ARD afterwards: "It was very important that we came back against a dominant Bayern team. It's a shame that it didn't work out in the end."

— Niklas Süle to ARD afterwards: "It is always difficult in the German Cup. We experienced that last year."

— Pal Dardai says afterwards that Franck Ribery's substitution was the decisive factor after having to deal with Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman for most of the game.
