Choupo-Moting put Bayern ahead, but Davies was injured

Although Hertha didn’t make it easy for them, Bayern finally won on Saturday 2-3 at the Olympiastadion and became provisional leaders of the Bundesliga, with 2 points ahead of Union Berlin, who will need to beat Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen this Sunday to regain first place. Manuel Neuer reappeared in the ranks of Bayern after his injury.

Bayern was 0-3 in the 38th minute, when Eric Choupo-Moting, in a great streak (seven consecutive games scoring), sealed his double. The game seems doomed. But Hertha reacted and made it 2-3 to add excitement to the game.

Jamal Musiala, again brilliant, put Bayern ahead and did so in the 12th minute after receiving a pass from Sadio Mané. In the 37th minute, Choupp-Moting scored his first goal of the afternoon. And a minute later, the former PSB striker repeated.

The meeting seems to have been resolved by Bayern. but Dodi Lukebakio, who always put Julian Nagelsmann’s men in trouble, closed the gap after receiving a pass from team-mate Marco Richter.

Not only that, on the stroke of half-time, Davie Selke scored a 2-3 penalty due to Benjamin Pavard stepping on himself. The landscape has completely changed.

In the 57th minute, Bayern had a goal disallowed (via Agustin Rogel’s own goal) due to offside by Alphonso Davies, who retired in the 64th minute with a muscle problem that triggered the alarm thoughts on the World Cup. Canada, the extent of the illness of its best player is pending.

Bayern knew how to control the match in the second half against a Hertha team that unsuccessfully tried to equalise. But he already touched it at the discount, in a play, how could it be, by Lukebakio. Second defeat in a row for Hertha.
