Thrown straight back into Bayern's starting XI after recovering from injury, Neuer had to be at his best 11 minutes in to parry Poulsen's header onto the bar.Joshua Kimmich made two superb blocks as Leipzig's pressure continued but, against the run of play, it was Bayern who struck first. David Alaba delivered a cross that was behind Lewandowski, but he somehow stooped to meet it and guided the ball back at goal, generating enough power to beat Peter Gulacsi and find the bottom-left corner of the net. Coman seemed certain to double Bayern's lead, only for Ibrahima Konate to make an outstanding goal-line clearance, though the linesman did then flag for offside, before Gulacsi managed to turn Mats Hummels' close-range effort wide.Forsberg should have made Bayern pay for that profligacy, though his heavy touch enabled Neuer to intervene, with Timo Werner's effort then cleared off the line. Thiago headed wide of an open goal after the hour, but fortunately for Bayern, Coman spared his team-mate's blushes.Having taken the ball under control with a delightful first touch, Coman kept his cool to slam home, and Bayern were not finished there. Kimmich's sublime pass set Lewandowski away and, after shrugging off his marker, he lifted a classy finish over Gulacsi to add further gloss to Bayern's 19th DFB-Pokal triumph.</blockquote>
