Bundesliga-Eintracht-Bayern 0-1, Leverkusen also wins

Rediscovered balance. Bayern Munich wins 1-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt (Sanè’s goal in the 71st minute) and goes to +9 from Dortmund second (busy Sunday with Augsburg). For the Bavarians, who in the last games played, between the championship and the Champions League, had not convinced, a clear step forward in performance: it was from January 15 that Nagelsmann’s team did not finish a match with a clean sheet (from that moment 7 goals taken in 5 games). In view of the final phase of the Champions League, finding defensive solidity is fundamental.

THE RACE

–

Nagelsmann returns to the classic 4-2-3-1 by removing a quality man (Sanè) and inserting a midfielder (Sabitzer) to give more balance to the team. In reality Bayern creates (Pavard, on 4 ‘, kicks out on Coman’s cross), but concedes: on 7’ ​​Lindstrom is good at overcoming Süle and serving Kostic whose conclusion, in Ulreich beaten, comes out a little. The rhythms are very high and the Bavarians still close to the advantage in the 9th minute, when Musiala, with the head, does not frame the goal from an excellent position. Trapp, albeit with some difficulty, manages to repel the shots from the edge of Coman (24 ‘) and Kimmich (39’), allowing Eintracht to go to the break at 0-0.

THE SHOOT

–

In the second half the rhythms inevitably drop and Bayern struggle to create clear chances, even if they are stable in the opposing half: in the 53rd minute, on a free kick from Kimmich, Pavard hits the ball with his head but N’Dicka is very good at saving. on the line. At 60 ‘Gnabry is good at serving Lewandowski on the run, but Trapp, outgoing, is good at closing the door. At 71 ‘the advantage of Bayern arrives: Musiala serves Kimmich who pockets for Sanè, cold to beat Trapp. Bayern controlled the lead in the final minutes, putting the game to sleep and preventing Eintracht from reacting to the disadvantage. It then ends 1-0, but for the Bavarians the important news comes from the defense, finally back solid.
