Kiel sets needles, Munich’s Musiala meets
Best offensive (58 goals) against the weakest defensive in the league (48 goals) – the roles were clearly distributed before the game. Anything but a home win for Bayern would have been a surprise. The Kieler booked the first dangerous end of the game: the guests went quickly over the left side, at the end of the move Phil Harres came to the end at the short post, but put the ball past the goal (12th).
Without having had a chance to score, Bayern then struck. Musiala used the cleverly crossed passport from Michael Olise for the early lead (19th). However, Kiel continued to be able to stage himself dangerously. Another attack on the left side led to the next guest chance: After Armin Gigovic sawed the ball, Lewis Holtby came to the ball and pushing him past Manuel Neuer, Min-Jae Kim saved the line for Bayern.
And yet: Bayern presented themselves up and played out more opportunities. Olise (29th) and Palovic (33.) could have increased by a long -distance shot, shortly before the break it was Kane who headed an exemplary flank of the busy Kingsley Coman to 2-0.

Bavaria’s Kane Headball, Gnabry with a fine foot
The Kane, which was criticized again and again because of his supposed dependence on penalty goals, was also the one who scored the third Munich goal – again. This time Guerreiro flanked butter -soft, Kane removed his opponent robustly and headed as well.
Kiel defended himself as much as possible, but with increasing playing time it became increasingly clear that his own ball possession phases was too short. Inaccurate passes repeatedly initiated dangerous Bavaria attacks. Gnabry used one of these attacks to be 4-0 when he processed a rebound ball technically high -quality and shot into the right angle with the left volley.
Kiel fully there in added time

Porath came to the ball in the penalty area, lay down the ball and put his attempt into the far corner. The score visibly gave the guests courage. Bayern made it much more difficult to score clear chances, but seemed to be sure to manage their clear leadership.
And suddenly Kiel was there – shortly before the end, the guests in the person of Steven Skrzybski duplicate and brought Bayern sweat again, but there was too little time to compensate. Nevertheless: Bayern’s final phase was anything but sovereign.
