Bayern’s second string shines, Leverkusen torn apart in top clash

On the 9th matchday of the Bundesliga , FC Bayern made another statement. In the summit meeting with Bayer Leverkusen, the Munich team prevailed on Saturday evening with a 3-0 victory, decisively winning the top match for themselves.

Vincent Kompany's team remains in impressive form. The German record champions are currently racing from success to success – after the commanding 4-1 victory in the DFB-Pokal against 1. FC Köln, FCB celebrated their next triumph in the league only three days later against the in-form Leverkusen team.

With today's success, FC Bayern has extended their impressive winning streak to 15 consecutive competitive victories. At the same time, the Munich team ended a remarkable series of the Werkself: Kaspar Hjulmand's team had previously remained unbeaten in 37 consecutive Bundesliga away games – until the record champions came along.

The first dangerous attempt came from Lennart Karl in the 8th minute. He cut in from his right side and unleashed one of his well-known curlers, but it was too central on Mark Flekken's goal. Seven minutes later, the youngster had the next chance, this time pushing the ball just wide from a central position.

However, the Munich team's lead was not long in coming. After a quick throw from Manuel Neuer to Tom Bischof, he played an outstanding through ball to Serge Gnabry , who slotted it through Flekken's legs for a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute.

Soon after, the Munich team increased their lead. In the 31st minute, Konrad Laimer delivered a perfect cross from the right wing to the head of Nicolas Jackson , who scored his first Bundesliga goal with his fifth touch of the ball.

Shortly before halftime, the Senegalese almost added a third, but was offside on a through ball before he slid the ball past Flekken into the net. The 3-0 halftime score was finally secured by a Leverkusen player. Loïc Badé deflected a cross from Guerreiro into his own net with a slide tackle in the 44th minute.

At the start of the second half, FC Bayern continued to control the game, but did not create any noteworthy chances. Subsequently, Vincent Kompany brought on his star ensemble for the offense, consisting of Harry Kane , Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz.

The three newcomers seamlessly integrated into Bayern's game and continued to maintain control, although they did not pose a significant threat. The record champions had everything under control throughout, but did not take any more risks.

Since Leverkusen had nothing more to counter, both teams allowed the game to wind down slowly but surely, aiming to stay as fresh as possible for the upcoming Champions League week.

For FC Bayern , the next top match is already on the horizon next week. On Tuesday (November 4th), the Munich team will visit the reigning Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain in the premier class, who managed to decide their dress rehearsal against Nice in the 94th minute with a 1-0 victory.
