For the 23rd round of the German Championship, Bayern Munich visited Stuttgart away from home and won 2-1 this Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. The victory with goals from De Ligt and Choupo-Moting ensured the leadership of the Bavarian team in Bundesliga.
First time
The beginning of the game was controlled by Bayern, who had possession of the ball, created goal chances and prevented Stuttgart’s counterattacks. Kimmich and Musiala had opportunities to open the scoring early on, but it was Goretzka who came closest to scoring.
The German midfielder received a cross from Coman’s right and headed it free in the area. However, the finish was in the middle of the goal and goalkeeper Bredlow used his reflexes to make a great save. Stuttgart also threatened with Silas, who received a pass from Gil Dias in the area and shot, but Sommer sent it to the bottom line.
In the 39th minute, defender De Ligt advanced to the attack and received it in the middle of the area. With great force, the Dutchman sent a long shot that, even with the goalkeeper’s deflection, stopped at the back of the net.
Second time
The final stage followed the same script as the first half, with Bayern in full control. At 16 minutes, Musiala dominated surrounded by the marking, drove through the middle of the field, played for Muller, who arranged for Choupo-Moting to extend the advantage.
Coach Julian Naggelsman made several substitutions in the second half and put players like Sané, Gnabry and Mané on the field, thinking about the duel for the Champions League in the middle of the week. In the 42nd minute, Tiago Tomás crossed for Juan Perea, who came off the bench to reduce the score for Stuttgart.
