BERLIN (Reuters) - Champions Bayern Munich beat RB Leipzig 3-0 on Saturday thanks to two goals from Robert Lewandowski to win their 19th German Cup and complete a domestic league and Cup double.
Bundesliga top scorer Lewandowski headed the champions into the lead in the 29th minute, wrong-footing keeper Peter Gulacsi, and Kingsley Coman's superb first touch and shot in the 78th made it 2-0.It was the 12th time Bayern won the double as coach Niko Kovac, who lifted the Cup with Eintracht Frankfurt last year and led them to the 2017 final, became the first man to win the double with Bayern both as player and coach.
Leipzig enjoyed the better start and had the first big chance with Yussuf Poulsen's header palmed on to the crossbar by Neuer in a reflex save before Lewandowski put them ahead. In a highly entertaining game, Neuer again come to the rescue by stopping Emil Forsberg in a one-on-one situation. "I am very satisfied with the way we played well and won clearly," Lewandowski said."We had the game under control and the second half we pushed a bit more and won the Cup.
