MUNICH, Germany (AP):
Marquee signing Sadio Mané maintained his impressive scoring form as Bayern Munich eased to a 5-0 win at third-tier Viktoria Cologne in the German Cup on Wednesday.
Mané joined Bayern in a high-profile offseason move from Champions League runner-up Liverpool and the Senegal forward made it five goals in six games when he netted to make it 3-0 early in the second half.
Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch grabbed his first career goal for Bayern to put the record 20-time cup winners ahead in the 35th minute. He then set up 17-year-old forward Mathys Tel — another new signing — in first-half injury time.
Bayern’s next goal came from 19-year-old forward Jamal Musiala — his fifth in as many games — before silky midfielder Leon Goretzka wrapped it up late on after Mané set him up.
On Tuesday, former Chelsea forward Timo Werner scored a first-half hat-trick as Leipzig started their cup defence with an 8-0 rout of amateur team Teutonia Ottensen.
