Bundesliga 17th matchday: Bayern Munich says goodbye to Beckenbauer with a win

FC Bayern Munich – TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Thanks to double packer Jamal Musiala, FC Bayern said goodbye to Franz Beckenbauer with the victory they had hoped for. Five days after Beckenbauer’s death, the Munich team defeated TSG Hoffenheim 3-0 (1-0) and said goodbye to their long-time player, coach and president.

Before kick-off, everything revolved around Beckenbauer: The words “Thank you, Franz” were lit up in the arena, which was also printed on the Bayern players’ special jersey. After a minute’s silence, the players began the game with mourning ribbons on their arms.

In terms of sport, Bayern then managed to give their last salute to the “Kaiser”. After a slow start, Jamal Musiala (18′) finally dribbled into the penalty area on the right and hit the post and then the goal from a tight angle. Hoffenheim stuck to their style of play, but couldn’t find any playful answers, which is why Raphaël Guerreiro increased almost before the break.

The second half started sluggishly before Bayern missed several chances to score a second goal. But Hoffenheim also had chances because the Munich team left the game too much to them. Maximilian Beier had two good opportunities, the second of which hit the crossbar (65′). A joint action by Leroy Sane and Musiala (70th) finally made it 2-0. Then Hoffenheim’s Grischa Prömel had to leave the field with a yellow-red card for repeated foul play (74th), before Harry Kane (90th) rounded off the game with his 22nd goal of the season.
