Bayern Munich continue to string Bundesliga victories after victories and are on course for their 11th consecutive league title. Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team defeated newly promoted Werder Bremen 6-1 (4-1) on Tuesday evening’s 14th matchday, marking their fifth consecutive league success. Monaco’s victory, led by scorer Serge Gnabry, was even more valuable as their rival Borussia Dortmund lost 2-0 (0-1) at VfL Wolfsburg in prime time and is now six points behind Monaco.
Background: Match history Bayern – Bremen (footballer)
National team manager Hansi Flick must have appreciated the record-breaking performance two days after being named the World Cup squad for Qatar. Internationals Jamal Musiala (6th minute), Gnabry (22nd / 28th / 82nd) and Leon Goretzka (26th), already included in the squad, scored in the one-way match already decided at half-time. Mathys Tel (84th) was also able to celebrate. Anthony Jung (10th) scored the draw for Bremen. Striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting missed a penalty (17th) and went goalless in a competitive match for the first time since 12 October.
Wolfsburg versus Dortmund
BVB and coach Edin Terzic would like to have such concerns. Dortmund not only missed their guest appearance in Lower Saxony but also had to do without the injured Marco Reus. Youssoufa Moukoko, a recently strong World Cup nominee, did not score this time either. Mickey van de Ven (6th) and Joker Lukas Nmecha (90th + 2) scored the Wolfsburg goals. On Wednesday, BVB could be expelled from the Champions League standings by Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig.
VFL Bochum versus Gladbach
Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach must accept the next setback. Coach Daniel Farke’s team lost 2-1 (0-2) to VfL Bochum and are gradually losing ground. Christopher Antwi-Adjei (9th) and Philipp Hofmann (12th) scored the goals for VfL. Alassane Pléa (62 minutes) only managed to recover the goal in the second half. Ramy Bensebaini’s alleged tie was canceled shortly before the end via video evidence.
VfB Stuttgart versus Hertha BSC
In the relegation duel with Hertha BSC, VfB Stuttgart achieved a 2-1 (1-1) home win very late. Serhou Guirassy (3rd) gave the hosts the lead, Dodi Lukebakio immediately equalized with his seventh goal of the season (19th). In the eighth minute of added time, Konstantinos Mavropanos scored the winning goal for the VfB.
Bayern chasers SC Freiburg and Union Berlin, as well as Frankfurt and Leipzig, will play on Wednesday.
