Bayern Munich has taken another difficult bump in the Bundeliga. Against RB Leipzig, Bayern was overwhelmed in the first half, but recovered and eventually won 5-1.
Jamal Musiala, who had to recuperate from a fibula fracture for more than six months, made his return to Bayern.
The lead of the still undefeated leader in the Bundesliga over number two Borussia Dortmund, which won against St. Pauli (3-2) thanks to a penalty in the 96th minute, remains large: eleven points.
Under the watchful eye of success coach Jürgen Klopp (inventor of the energetic Vollgassfussball) and former striker Mario Gomez (currently technical director of all football clubs under the Red Bull umbrella), Leipzig immediately pressed the accelerator deeply in their own stadium.
After twenty minutes, that drive was rewarded when Brazilian striker Rômulo sent a cross at the near post behind goalkeeper Manuel Neuer: 1-0.
The fans in Leipzig were already counting on revenge for the 6-0 defeat their club suffered in Munich on the opening day of the Bundeliga, but that was too early.
After the break, Bayern fought back into the match and took the lead through Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane: 1-2.
Goalkeeper Neuer still had to work and made a good save from efforts by Rômulo and Yan Diomande. But the goals came at the other end: Jonathan Tah headed in a corner seven minutes before the end (1-3) and then Aleksandar Pavlovic also made it 1-4 after a clever attack.
Rentree Musiala
With one of his first touches, Musiala put the ball at the feet of Michael Olise, who also rammed the 5-1 into the net.
