The match remained goalless in the first half, with both teams creating chances. Bayern's goalkeeper, Jonas Urbig, delivered a notable performance, achieving his first Champions League clean sheet.
In the 52nd minute, Harry Kane capitalized on a free-kick from Joshua Kimmich, scoring from close range. This goal marked Kane's 10th in the competition, making him the first English player to reach double figures in a single European Cup season.
Leverkusen, missing key player Florian Wirtz due to injury, struggled to respond effectively. Their coach, Xabi Alonso, introduced Victor Boniface and Amine Adli in an attempt to invigorate the attack, but Bayern's defense remained resolute.
Bayern doubled their lead in the 71st minute when Kane assisted Alphonso Davies, who advanced into the box and finished clinically.
With this victory, Bayern Munich progresses to face Inter Milan in the quarterfinals, a team they previously met in the 2010 final.
