Stuttgart and Bavaria have a long time high -class and gripping top game – with the better end for the record champion, who mercilessly punishes the mistakes of the Swabians.
Munich coach Vincent Kompany was not only missing Kimmich, who laboratories on a tendon irritation. Because Aleksandar Pavlović was also not available, 50 million husband João Palhinha was in the starting line-up for the first time since the beginning of November-alongside Leon Goretzka. Company also brought Alphonso Davies for Hiroki Ito and Harry Kane for Thomas Müller.
Both teams tried to check the ball right from the start, but still searched the fastest possible way to the goal. It was particularly quick in the 5th minute: The Munich underestimated a long ball by VfB goalkeeper Alexander Nübel – Josha Vagnoman therefore suddenly appeared before Manuel Neuer, but only brought about a “return”.
The VfB was better in the game afterwards, looked more aggressive and determined than Bavaria, who were recognizable in midfield an orderly hand like that of Kimmich. Again and again the Munich team fell defensively, but again and more frequently than the Stuttgart team, but they also had good chances because the hosts were often far too open.
The best opportunity for Bayern initially had Jamal Musiala, who fled the ball past the long corner (22nd).
The hit fell on the other side. After Deniz Undav first hit the post for the strongly playing Stuttgart (31st minute), Angelo Stiller was on the spot shortly afterwards.
Leroy Sané slipped on Bavaria’s left defense in Bavaria, Stuttgart conquered the ball. In the end it was Josha Vagnoman who served the silent lurking area. He put the ball on the left and chased it in the short upper corner (34th). Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who was blocked, was without chance.
However, the league leader struck back before the break whistle. After a great pass from Sané, Michael Olise appeared freely in front of VfB goalkeeper Alexander Nübel. The Frenchman stayed cool and hit the left into the long corner (45th).
In the second round, the Munich team got the game better under control and increased the pressure on the Stuttgart construction game. Successfully. In the 64th minute, Nübel played a serious pass on goal scorer silent to the edge of the penalty area. Goretzka was already lurking in his back, caught Stiller’s passport, suddenly standing freely in front of Nübel and pushed in for the tour of the guests (64th).
The decision then brought Joker Kingsley Coman, who once again benefited from a Stuttgart mistake. Vagnoman played a ball that was too short on Nübel, who stood far in front of his goal. Bavaria’s wing player sprinted in between, laid the ball past Nübel and hit the orphaned Stuttgart gate with the right from around 25 meters (90th).
Bayern are thus celebrating their ninth success in the past ten games and temporarily increasing their lead at the top of the table to eleven points.
