Bayern chased away the ghosts that appeared after being eliminated from the German Cup at the hands of a third division team and won the German classic 4-0 against Borussia Dortmund, with a goal from Dayoy Upamecano and three from Harry Kane. To achieve this, the Munich team recovered troops. Both Upamecano and Goretzka were coming off injuries and were in the squad for the first time since they returned to training and, contrary to what is usual in a case like this, they started as starters and did their part to tip the game in favor of Bayern in the first half.
Bayern recovered troops. Both Upamecano and Goretzka were coming off injuries and were in the squad for the first time since they returned to training and, contrary to what is usual in a case like this, they started as starters and did their part to tip the game in favor of Bayern in the first half.
Upamecano opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a header from a corner taken by Leroy Sané from the right wing. He lasted an hour. Goretzka, for his part, commanded the counterattack that led to the second goal in the 9th minute from a Sané cross. Dortmund only had one clear chance throughout the first half, a deflected shot by Donyel Malen already in stoppage time.
The second half began with an excellent chance for Bayern at the feet of Jamal Musiala, after a pass from Kane, and with a great save from Kobel. But then there was a phase in which Dortmund clearly had the initiative against a Bayern that had relaxed its marks a bit, probably showing the physical wear and tear of the first half.
In the 56th minute Manuel Neuer had his first intervention in the game against a shot by Marko Reus and the ball was too often close to the Bayern area. In the 67th minute there was another good chance at the feet of Felix Nmecha. However, the Bavarians were dangerous in counterattack plays. In the 58th minute Kobel had reacted with a good save to a good chance from Sané and a goal by Musiala was disallowed due to Kane's millimeter offside.
In that phase of the match, Bayern needed the winning goal to have security against a Dortmund that was pressing and the ruling came, in the 72nd minute, through Kane who scored with a shot inside the area from Kingsley Coman's cross from the right. . Dortmund had no ability to react and Bayern even achieved the fourth in stoppage time, scored by Kane after recovering the ball and passing from Pavlovic
