Bayern Munich crushed Hoffenheim 4-0 and remains Bundesliga leader

Bayern maintained the dynamics of their last matches and beat Hoffenheim 4-0 this Saturday, a result that allows them to retain the leadership of the Bundesliga after their two closest pursuers, Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg, also won their matches.

Dortmund are still one point behind Bayern and Freiburg, three behind the leader.

With coach Julian Nagelsmann directing his team from home – he is isolated by coronavirus – Bayern presented five changes in the starting line-up compared to the one that defeated Benfica 0-4 on Wednesday in the Champions League.

Bayern had scoring chances to achieve an even more impressive result. In minute 2 came the first with a shot from Lewandowski that went wide, brushing a post. In the 8 ‘, after a ball steal by Musiala on the edge of the area, Gnabry scored, but the VAR annulled the goal due to a previous foul.

Gnabry himself ended up having a revenge and put the first of the game for the Bavarian team at minute 16, after a good attendance of the young German Jamal Musiala.

Bayern played at will, they allowed little behind and in front they wanted more.

The second goal was signed by Lewandowski in the 30th minute, in a counterattack play. Gnabry recovered the ball near the Bavarian area, hit a long pass that Lewandowski extended with a head to Müller, who returned the ball to the Pole and he scored from about 20 meters.

The second half started in the same vein, but Bayern were not precise in the final meters. Until in Choupo Moting appeared in minute 82, who defined from close range after a poor clearance by the Hoffenheim defense.

Seven minutes later, after a good deep pass from Upamecano, Coman put the final 4-0 to keep Bayern Munich’s scoring streak going. (D)
