Goal scorer Harry Kane converted a foul penalty in the 68th minute to secure a deserved win against a committed but hapless Gladbach team. Bayern should have scored significantly more often with 22:5 shots on goal.
“We had a lot of good chances. We made it too exciting because we didn’t decide earlier. I thought the way we played was ok. We had a lot more chances in the second half and the game was a bit more open. In the end it’s about winning,” said Munich national player Joshua Kimmich on the TV channel Sky.
Gladbach’s Tim Kleindienst struggled a little with the penalty for Bayern, but said: “In the end you can still be satisfied. You can lose against Bayern. In the second half it was a performance that we can build on.”
Meanwhile, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer hardly had anything to do. In the first half, Gladbach didn’t get a single shot on goal. “We can be happy and satisfied with this victory and it was deserved,” said the veteran, who showed his usual concentrated performance despite his very limited employment.
However, one of his teammates in particular on the pitch showed a much better performance. You can read the t-online individual review here or in the photo show above. With the win, Bayern extend their lead over Bayern Leverkusen in the Bundesliga table to four points.
