Thanks to its offensive stars around Harry Kane, FC Bayern Munich has successfully presented the master fight, but has to fear the next injury shock after Jamal Musiala. In the 3: 1 (1: 1) overnight outnumbered FC Augsburg, compensation scorer Musiala, supported by the medical staff, had to leave the place in the 54th minute.
After numerous top-class Bavaria failures, a Musiala failure would further tighten the personnel needs of the German record champion in front of the quarter-final duel in the Champions League with Inter Milan.
Thomas Müller, who substituted for Musiala, that there is hot debates for the future, still experienced the Bayern victory up close on the field. After Musiala (42nd minute) countered the gap by Dimitrios Giannoulis (30th) before the break, Kane and his 23rd seasonor scored the 2-1 for the Munich (60th). In added time, Leroy Sané, who has been in a top form for weeks, scored 3-1, but the goal was considered the own goal of the Augsburg Chrislain Matsima, who was unsustainable.
Shortly before, the Englishman had fallen after a duel with Cédric Zesiger, which resulted in the yellow-red card for the Augsburg as a key scene (59.). The already warned Zesiger had only played the ball, but then Kane met hard on the ankle.
For the surprise team of the FCA, it was the first defeat in the second half of the season before 30,660 fans. In the evening before the player Bayer Leverkusen in Heidenheim, the Munich team first pulled away to nine points. Müller first had to look at how hard his colleagues acted against the strengthened FCA. “It is a Herculean task to crack this bulwark,” said Bayern sports director Max Eberl before the kick-off and should be right with this forecast.
Against the best defensive in the calendar year, the best offensive around Kane, who scored in the first leg victory by Hattrick and with the goal of the year, struggled for a long time. Munich superiority remained without added value. There was no sharpness and precision in attack. That then changed.
Up to the yellow-red tuning dampers, the hosts were clearly noticeable after eleven games without defeat. The first good goalkeeper used Giannoulis brilliantly. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw broke out a free kick and thus covered the sleepy Bayern defender Konrad Laimer. Giannoulis washering the ball under the crossbar.
FC Bayern came back. It was not surprising that Sané had a decisive part in the compensation by Musiala. He pushed into the top with speed. His cross -processed Musiala versed and hit the rotation against three Augsburg defenders. His twelfth goal of the season.
Shortly after the beginning of the second round, Michael Olise was not much missing from the second guest goal. His shot banged against the crossbar when Musiala crouched on the floor. Trainer Vincent Kompany already complains numerous failures by top players such as captain Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and also Kingsley Coman.
A little later it was also for the end. However, the dismissal was heavily discussed because the Augsburg defender had also hit the ball while getting in against Kane. Four days before the royal class first leg in Munich against Inter, FC Bayern used the majority to lead. Kane met Olise after a free kick from Olise.
