Bayern’s winning goal through an own goal
After the break, Leipzig equalized for the second time in front of the 10,000 fans allowed after corona measures. Laimer freed Nkunku, who remained calm in front of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and confidently put his right foot flat into the right corner (53′).
But the exchange of blows continued: Leipzig’s goalkeeper Gulácsi then made a bad pass during play, which led to Bayern’s third lead. Gnabry wanted to put it down again, but Gvardiol deflected this pass into his own goal (58th).
Both teams always seemed close to the next goal in the closing stages: Lewandowski narrowly missed the goal in the 62nd minute when falling and under pressure. Leipzig’s Dominik Szoboszlai failed at Neuer (72′) and Emil Forsberg (82′). And so Bayern ultimately decided the exchange of blows for themselves. “We scored two own goals”Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco said on ARD. “The goals fell on Bayern’s feet. That’s why it’s just a shame.”
