Itakura on the line!

Then from the right again the rule: Kimmich pulls the standard up into the middle. Goretzka is on it, but he can’t build up any pressure with a header from ten meters out in the turmoil on the high cross.
51.
19:41
The first time a Bayern corner is a bit more inspired: Kimmich is played a little backwards with a one-two from the left. The following flank on the second post reaches Kim on the baseline, but the deposit does not arrive.
49
19:39
But the first good attack belongs to the Gladbachers. Wöber is sent to the left on the counterattack and wants to play behind the defense along the second post. But Ulreich suspected that and is three meters in front of his goal to intercept.
46
19:37
Mazraoui is substituted at the break with a yellow bias. Laimer takes over the right position for him.

Kick-off 2nd half
45+3
19:22
Mid-term conclusion:
With 1:0 it goes into the cabins! The game didn’t get going for a long time in the first half, but a crossbar header from Friedrich made Borussia a little bolder for a few minutes. The foals take advantage of this with another standard, in which Itakura heads an extended corner perfectly into the goal (30th). As a result, Bayern have even more pressure to get through against the low defensive lines. But after a great first contact from Sané, FCB also hit the bar. Of course the pressure will continue to increase, but it still looks tough against the deep defence.

With a harmless Davies long-range shot from over 20 meters it goes into the cabins!

19:15
Bayern pushes the opponents back in again, but the home team looks really stable in the duels so far.
42
19:13
Curious scene: Čvančara lost his shoe in a duel. Because Bayern switch, he grabs the shoe and runs back on the Stutzen. At the next break, it’s time to get dressed.
39
19:08
Sané to the bar! Müller puts his back to the goal from 17 meters to the right to Sané, who puts the ball directly past Wöber on the right. The attack is much too fast for the defender, so the winger can shoot with the right from eight meters. Nicolas is still slightly off before the ball hits the crossbar in the far left corner and jumps out of bounds for a throw-in.
37
19:07
The Gladbach back four keeps falling down to their own sixteen. The Bavarians don’t get along well with the tight spaces.
34
19:04
In the second attempt at a corner, Kimmich is on the right side of the sixteen and gives a sharp shot in front of the goal with his left. Nicolas is five meters in front of the box with his fist in front of Müller.
32
19:03
Gladbach wants more! On the right there is a free kick at the corner flag, which Pléa passes flat into the backcourt. At the level of the right post, Weigl has far too much space and pulls flat with the right into the short corner. This time, however, Ulreich can defend with the parade and clap to the outside.
30
18:59
Tooor for Bor. Mönchengladbach, 1-0 through Ko Itakura
The Gladbachers actually use the phase for the lead! Pléa crosses a corner from the right to the centre. Eight yards from the near post, Wöber swings wide to the left where Itakura is free. The central defender pushes the difficult header from the left from seven meters into the right angle. Because the ball sinks late, Ulreich has no chance at all.
28
18:58
For a short time, the Gladbach crowd was particularly euphoric, but with the many passes in the opposing half, Bayern quickly took their breath away. Despite this, the eleven Borussia players look inspired on the pitch.
26
18:56
A Gladbach crossbar hit out of nowhere! Friedrich achieved a free kick from the left wing from 25 meters at the penalty spot with his forehead. The central defender hits the top edge of the crossbar with his header. Otherwise Ulreich would have been there.
25
18:56
On the right, a Gladbacher scratches the ball just before it goes out and actually hits it way too far back in the middle because he still wants to shoot down a Munich player. However, the ball comes to Reitz, who does not hit the ball with his left volley from 14 meters in the back of the sixteen.
24
18:54
Lots of little whistles are now causing some interruptions. That takes some of the flow out of the already not spectacular game.
22
18:52
Yellow card for Noussair Mazraoui (Bayern Munich)
Mazraoui with a really stupid yellow card. He initially deflects the ball, but also clearly hits the opponent. Because he is so upset about the whistle, there is an early warning after the harmless duel.
19
18:50
Sané again with a penalty area action! Müller gets a chip ball and goes far right into the box with a body trick. He delays for a long time, but can then put it down in the middle to the player who has run in. Sané takes one with him, pulls a meter behind the right five-corner with his left inside, but then clearly over to the left.
17
18:48
For the first time in a long time, the hosts have the ball in the attacking half again. However, after the free kick just behind the center line after Kim’s save against Čvančara, the ball is gone again immediately.
14
18:44
On the other hand, it opens up space to start: after a deep through ball from his own half, Müller is on the way to the left on the wing. However, Friedrich is the first on the ball and clears.
12.
18:43
Kane hardly gets balls in the top despite the many possessions. Accordingly, he now lets himself fall backwards, but he gets much too close to the actual game designer Kimmich, so that the two players are almost in one place.
9.
18:39
Wöber from 20 meters with the first shot of the foals! Four meters behind the left corner of the penalty area, he pushes the ball flat with his left, but he pulls something past the right post. Ulreich sees this and pulls his arms away.
8th.
18:38
The game is only in the Gladbach half. Pléa wins a duel just before the center line, but the ball is gone again while the crowd is applauding.
5.
18:35
The home team is also going forward for the first time. The high, vertical ball on the left wing is finally placed on Reitz in the backcourt, but he cannot process it.
3.
18:33
After the second corner, this time from the right, Goretzka climbs up half-left from ten meters. However, it is decisively interrupted by Itakura’s header, so that Nicolas can easily pick up the bounce in the middle of his box.
2.
18:32
After 68 seconds there is the first corner for FC Bayern. Müller wins the ball against a structure that is too risky, Coman then shoots the Gladbacher at the corner flag.
18:27
Before we start, a quick look at the start of the season. Bayern won the first two games against Bremen (4-0) and Augsburg (3-1). Gladbach, on the other hand, started less successfully: After the 4: 4 in Augsburg, there was a clear 0: 3 against Leverkusen last week.
18:16
The German record champions have not won for five guest appearances in Gladbach. Last season there was a 3-2 defeat, 1-1 earlier that season and the disastrous 5-0 in the cup. The home team also had wins in the previous two seasons.
18:06
The Gladbachers have a new keeper between the posts in Moritz Nicolas today. Jonas Omlin is out longer with an injury, in the duel with Olschowsky and Sippel (bank) the 25-year-old is obviously ahead. Last year he was loaned to Kerkrade, he was allowed to play a competitive game in the cup for Gladbach.
18:03
In a remarkable interview, Thomas Tuchel explains the idea of a new defensive midfielder: “We’ll see if the squad has improved in the transfer window, but it would certainly be thinner. Palinha’s task would have been to put a more defensive player “in the cross” for his very good midfielders, who were very happy to go forward. The offensive creativity of Kimmich, Goretzka and Laimer should have been supported.
17:47
A look at the central midfield is also worthwhile for the foals. There, Weigl and Neuhaus, who didn’t really harmonize recently, are again in the starting eleven. However, they will be supplemented by Reitz, who will join the team in place of Honorat. This indicates that a chain of three is being used. Alternatively, Wöber could also move to the external defense and Neuhaus to the ten.
17:44
Accordingly, Kimmich and Goretzka are deployed again in central midfield today. The latter could be the winner of Bayern Munich’s unsuccessful transfer final sprint after receiving bad news for him earlier. Leon Goretzka was not nominated by Hansi Flick for the next two international matches.
17:41
This is particularly bitter for the latter. The Portuguese was identified by Thomas Tuchel as a solution for the six and has already completed the medical check and the first photo shoots in Munich. After all, he had to leave without a transfer due to Fulham’s failure to allow him to change. The Londoners had not found an alternative at such short notice.
17:39
One day after the eventful end of the transfer window, FC Bayern take on Borussia Mönchengladbach. This is not a new addition from yesterday, because the transfers from Pavard alternatives to the defender and the Palinha change could not be completed in time.
