DFB Pokal Cup: Choupo-Moting Scores In Bayern’s 5-0 R16 Win Over Mainz

Choupo-Moting was on target and assisted in Bayern Munich’s 5-0 win over Mainz in the DFB Pokal Cup round 16 on Wednesday.

A convincing demolition of Mainz 05 saw Bayern through to the next round of the DFB-Pokal, on the back of three excellent first-half goals punctuated by an Alphonso Davies’ header.

After two games in which he didn’t score, there were already whispers about how Bayern should replace Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting because the former Mainz striker was simply not good enough. So Choupo decided to drop a masterclass against his former side in his favorite competition to prove everyone wrong again.

The Cameroonian’s fantastic movement and striker instinct was crucial as he volleyed in the all important opener, before a display of brilliant improvisation saw him flick the ball on to Sane to net the third.

All throughout the game, Choupo was moving through the spaces, dropping deep when necessary and providing that focal point up top that is so crucial to Bayern. Choupo came off for a deserved rest towards the end of the match.
