But: Musiala (67e)
The Eagles Caged.
Beaten in their last two trips, to Aston Villa and FC Barcelona, Bayern managed to get their heads back on track by beating Benfica (1-0). Delayed by 15 minutes due to transport problems, the match long gave rise to a festival by Anatoliy Trubin. The Lisbon goalkeeper notably opposed Harry Kane (32e33e39e) and Serge Gnabry (39e) in a one-sided first period (10 shots for Bayern, just one for Benfica).
The Ukrainian did it again on Michael Olise's free kick (49e) and against Leroy Sané (59e). Jamal Musiala, however, ended up breaking the deadlock with a header from close range, following a delivery from Kane (1-0, 68e). The Bundesliga leader is back in the race for the round of 16, now in 17e position, three points from the top 8. Next opponent? PSG, in Munich, November 26.
The smell of gasoline.
