Joao Cancelo had an instant impact on his Bayern Munich debut as they progressed to the German Cup quarter-finals with a 4-0 win at Mainz.
The Portuguese full-back, on loan from Manchester City on Tuesday, crossed for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s opener volley in the 17th minute.
Jamal Musiala drilled home a second shortly after before Leroy Sane’s calm finish made it three before the break.
Alphonso Davies came home a late fourth for a dominating Bayern.
Mainz’s Alexander Hack was then dismissed for a slot on Musiala, just minutes after manager Bo Svensson was sent off for dissent, as Bayern ended a three-game draw streak for their first win of 2023 .
Cancelo, 28, played a vital role in the Premier League titles that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City won over the past two seasons, but has fallen out of favor and looks destined for a future away from Etihad, the deal including an option to join permanently for £61.5m in the summer.
