There is no story in Monaco with the poker of the hosts. Record match with two goals scored in the first 120”
A great response. Against a very good opponent. Bayern Munich, who were beaten by Mainz in the last round of the championship, restarted immediately by beating Leipzig 5-1. This is the largest victory ever achieved against the red and whites. The Bavarians dominated from start to finish, and could have won even with a bigger result. Kimmich and his teammates thus bring themselves back to +7 on Leverkusen who will face Freiburg on Saturday. Goals from Musiala (in the 1st minute), Laimer (in the 25th minute), Kimmich (in the 36th minute), Sané (in the 75th minute) and Davies (in the 78th minute) decided against the team controlled by Red Bull. Sesko’s momentary 1-1 goal (in the 2nd minute) was useless. For the first time in Bundesliga history both teams scored in the first two minutes.
the race
—
Kompany recovers Kane and uses him in a 4-2-3-1 with Olise, Musiala and Sané behind him. Just 30 seconds pass and Bayern moves forward: Orban, under pressure, misses the pass allowing Kane to heel Olise, the Frenchman catches Musiala who makes it 1-0. Leipzig responds immediately: Openda passes Kim and serves Sesko in the center who is good at finding the far corner. The match remains lively: in the 10th minute Gulacsi saves from Musiala, Upamecano just misses the target from a corner in the 13th minute. Bayern continues to push and in the 25th minute they take the lead again: Olise, from the right, puts in a perfect cross for Laimer who makes it 2-1 with his left foot. The pace is very high and Leipzig even struggles to build actions or attack on the counterattack. The hosts also deserve the 3-1: Kimmich takes care of it, with a shot from outside. Leipzig remains passive and Kane even comes close to making it 4-1 in the 39th minute (Gulacsi saves).
the recovery

Bayern continues to attack, insistently looking for the fourth goal: Musiala is hypnotized by Gulacsi in the 50th minute, Sané devours the 4-1 by kicking out from a few meters away. Another opportunity in the 66th minute, when Sané, this time served by Kane, misses the target. The German winger made amends in the 75th minute: Geertruida missed, entered the area and found the far corner. Leipzig doesn’t respond, sinks: Kimmich puts the ball in the middle where Davies imposes himself on Seiwald and lands the pokerissimo with a nice header. It ends like this, with Bayern relaunching themselves, overwhelming Leipzig and putting coach Rose’s job at serious risk.
