On the 27th match day of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern Munich extended their lead over Borussia Dortmund to seven points again. After the last two draws against Leverkusen and Hoffenheim, Munich won 4-0 (3-0) against Union Berlin.
BVB can reduce the deficit to four points again on Sunday evening at 1. FC Köln (7.30 p.m.). On the 31st matchday there will be a direct encounter in Munich.
Kinsley Coman (16′), Tanguy Nianzou (25′) and Robert Lewandowski twice (45’+1/47′) scored for coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team.
“We kept a clean sheet. Sometimes you have to take a result as it is. It was more stable in the second half than in the first, also thanks to the 4-0 win,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was “not entirely” satisfied was, opposite Sky. “We didn’t get a chance where Union outplayed us, it all happened after losing the ball.” But that was also due to the lightning-fast Berlin tips.
Joshua Kimmich emphasized the positive aspects of his own performance: “In the first half we allowed two or three situations that were unnecessary. Nevertheless, it was a deserved win. The attitude and the approach were right.” However, the victory was “perhaps a little too high”.
The brave guests from Berlin, who lost ground in the fight for a European starting place after the third game without a win, struggled with the clear defeat. Union veteran Bastian Oczipka: “Of course you can be outplayed, but we have to take a good look at ourselves: It’s our fault that we didn’t get more out of it. It wasn’t like Bayern were clearly better today.” Union coach Urs Fischer also emphasized that Bayern had not “played against the wall”.
After the international break, Bayern will take on SC Freiburg on April 2nd. Union Berlin meets Effzeh at home the day before.
