Bola.net – Bayern Munich showed their champion character by crushing RB Leipzig 5-1, just a week after their shock defeat to Mainz. The extraordinary collective performance of Thomas Tuchel's team confirmed their position at the top of the Bundesliga standings with a difference of seven points.
Bayern immediately opened the scoring within 30 seconds through a neat combination of Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala. Olise provided a mature pass which Musiala completed easily. However, Leipzig immediately hit back just one minute later. Benjamin Sesko took advantage of Lois Openda's deadly cross to equalize.
Bayern's dominance was visible again in the 25th minute when Konrad Laimer, a former Leipzig player, scored a beautiful goal from Olise's perfect pass. Joshua Kimmich doubled the lead with a powerful shot from 25 meters, giving Bayern a 3-1 lead in the first half.
In the second half, Bayern increasingly dominated even though Harry Kane, who had just returned from injury, had a difficult night. The English striker looks like he is still looking for his rhythm even though he has shown flashes of quality.
Leipzig tried to put up resistance, but two quick goals in the final quarter from Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies ensured Bayern's landslide victory. Sane's goal came from a quick counter-attack, while Davies exploited a gap in Leipzig's defense to close the match with a score of 5-1.
