Bayern Munich's potent attack proved too much for Bayer Leverkusen, as they thrashed the visitors 3-0 in the Bundesliga, extending their winning streak to nine matches. The Bavarian giants dominated the game from the outset, scoring three goals in the first half to put the result beyond doubt.
The win marked a significant milestone for Bayern, who ended Leverkusen's remarkable 37-match unbeaten streak in away league games. Leverkusen's run had been one of the most impressive in European football, but they were ultimately unable to sustain their form against the Bundesliga leaders. Serge Gnabry, Nicolas Jackson, and an own goal from Loic Bade were the scorers for Bayern, who rested top striker Harry Kane and still managed to secure a comfortable victory.
With this win, Bayern solidified their position at the top of the Bundesliga table, showcasing their dominance and setting a strong tone for their upcoming fixtures, including their Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain next week.
The match's early stages failed to live up to expectations, with both teams struggling to create scoring opportunities. However, Bayern Munich soon asserted their dominance, taking the lead midway through the first half when Serge Gnabry skillfully scored past Mark Flekken.
Bayer Leverkusen had initially managed to contain Bayern's attack, but the Bavarians' quality eventually told as they took control of the game. Gnabry's goal marked the beginning of a dominant display from Bayern, who would go on to win the match 3-0.
The hosts' first goal was followed by further dominance, with Nicolas Jackson scoring a header and Loic Bade netting an own goal to seal the win for Bayern. The match showcased Bayern's superior quality and depth, as they outplayed Leverkusen in all areas.
Bayern's insatiable appetite for goals was evident as they continued to press for more, and their efforts were rewarded just six minutes later. Konrad Laimer showcased his skills with a perfectly weighted cross from the wing, finding Nicolas Jackson unmarked in the box, who expertly headed the ball into the corner.
The goal was a testament to Bayern's clinical finishing and Laimer's precision delivery. Jackson almost had the chance to double his tally before halftime, but a well-timed offside flag from the assistant denied him the opportunity.
The hosts sealed their victory with a third goal before halftime, courtesy of Loic Bade's own goal from Raphael Guerreiro's cross. Despite the gift, Bayern's dominant performance was well-deserved, and the score was a fair reflection of their superiority.
Bayern continued to press for more goals after the break, with Kompany's side showing no signs of letting up. Their relentless attack nearly paid off when Nicolas Jackson's header sailed agonizingly close to the post, narrowly missing the target.
Bayern Munich showcased their depth when coach Vincent Kompany brought on Harry Kane, replacing Nicolas Jackson. Kane's impressive scoring record this season is undoubtedly a cause for concern for opposing teams, and Leverkusen were likely wary of what he might bring to the pitch.
However, the visitors' worst fears weren't realized after halftime, as Bayern seemed to ease off the pedal, knowing the game was already won. They appeared to be saving their energy for their upcoming Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, prioritizing that fixture over running up the score against Leverkusen.
Leverkusen's performance in the second half was underwhelming, and they struggled to create any meaningful chances, with an xG tally of just 0.01 by the 80th minute. Christian Kofane had a golden opportunity to score, but he somehow managed to shoot wide from inside the six-yard box.
The loss marked a disappointing end to Leverkusen's remarkable unbeaten run, and it also brought an end to Kasper Hjulmand's unbeaten start as Leverkusen boss. Bayern's second-half display may have been a bit lackluster, but given the scoreline and the midweek game against PSG looming, perhaps it wasn't entirely surprising that they didn't push for more goals.
