In the Bundesliga, FC Bayern Munich is unstoppable. The championship title favorites top the standings with 15 points after defeating Werder Bremen 4-0 (2-0) on matchday five. Although this has happened 16 times in Bundesliga history, no club has ever had such a strong goal differential at this stage of the game.
After Jonathan Tah’s backheel and Michael Olise’s cross, Colombian Luis Díaz scored the first goal with a rebound off his knee in the 22nd minute. Harry Kane scored his 18th goal in 18 Bundesliga attempts just before halftime with another penalty kick in the 45th minute.
Then, Kane completed a counterattack to increase the score 3-0 (65′). With ten goals, the Englishman tops the scoring standings. In the waning moments (88′), Konrad Laimer delivered the finishing touch.
Joshua Kimmich, a midfielder for Bayern, was again benched by coach Vincent Kompany, as he had done against Hoffenheim one week prior. This time, though, Kimmich was sidelined for the week owing to an ailment. Kimmich had the option to play, but Kompany preferred to give him a break because of the forthcoming league, cup, and Champions League games.
Like his teammate Leon Goretzka, whom he replaced, Kimmich has now played 300 games in the Bundesliga since being substituted in the 61st minute.
In the Werder goal, Karl Hein makes an impression.
Bremen sought to use speedy players and a compact defense, just like many other Munich teams. However, this was accomplished far too infrequently. Werder frequently sat too deep in the first half, which allowed Bayern to combine. The Munich players were attentive enough to stop their counterattacks early. Since Bayern was happy with the outcome and just took essential action, the visitors’ play somewhat improved after the interval.
Mio Backhaus, coach Horst Steffen’s go-to goalie, was out, thus Karl Hein made his Bundesliga debut in his place. The Estonian made an impression by blocking a number of excellent opportunities.
