Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich benefitted from two own goals by hosts Union Berlin and survived intense second half pressure before earning a 3-2 victory on Wednesday to reach the German Cup quarter-finals, Reuters reported. 

With all five goals coming from set pieces, the Bavarians exacted revenge for their 2-2 draw at Union in the Bundesliga in November that ended their 16-game winning start to the season across all competitions.

"I was satisfied with our first half and we did a lot of things right. But the second half was a fight," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, according to Reuters.
