Former Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann was back in Leipzig, but now as Bayern Munich coach. His new team grabbed the baton immediately and created most of the chances initially.
After eleven minutes, Kevin Kampl took the home team with his arm when he was to drive the ball with him, and after a review, the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Robert Lewandowski made no mistake and 1-0 to the guests.
They also had bids for more goals, but the score at the break was 0-1. In the second half, Nagelsmann made a substitution. Out with Serge Gnabry and in with the super talent Jamal Musiala. The 18-year-old thanked and received. After not even two minutes, he caught a post from Davies which he safely placed into the far corner.
Leipzig had to move forward the positions in the pursuit of a reduction which resulted in plenty of surfaces for Bayern Munich to counter. Robert Lewandowski was served a free kick but Gulacsi saved.
In the 54th minute came another away goal. The successful jumper Musiala advanced and free-kicked Leroy Sané who on volley put 3-0 for Bayern Munich.
After 58 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. Despite the disadvantage, the reduction goal was the match’s big advantage. Konrad Laimer with a real projectile in the far corner, unreachable for Neuer in the away goal.
After the reduction, Emil Forsberg was also replaced. “Foppa’s” team did not come closer than 3-1. In overtime, substitute Choupo-Moting was able to determine the final score 4-1.
Heavy for Leipzig who remain on three points after four games played. Bayern Munich rises to second place in the Bundesliga, two points behind league-leading Wolfsburg.
– We have not started well. A win of four matches is not acceptable. But we have a new dice and a new way of playing so we have to have a little patience but it feels heavy right now, the Swede told Viasat after the match.
What is the big difference from last year?
. We play more counterattacks now. Last year we had a lot of ball possession and led the matches. That is the big difference, he says and continues:
– We have Manchester City on Wednesday in the Champions League then Cologne in the league. It’s a match we have to win to get back on track. Just try reloading.
