Kane did not shine and Bayern suffered to beat Gladbach

Bayern Munich suffered in their visit to Borussia M’gladbach, a rival that has given them many problems in recent years, but a goal in the excess of the goal of the young French striker Mathys Tel, who was decisive at the age of 18 instead of a dull Harry Kane, allows him to keep his tree of victories in the Bundesliga (1-2). Joshua Kimmich provided two assists.

The champion has 9 points out of 9 possible, although he is not the leader because Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen surpassed him on goal difference after his small hand against Darmstadt (5-1).

Bayern were the absolute dominators of the game against a very withdrawn Gladbach, but they did not know how to find Harry Kane in the lead or translate his excessive control of the ball into clear occasions.

It seemed impossible for Gladbach to cope with Bayern’s constant harassment, but football is unpredictable and one set piece was enough to put fear in the champion’s body.

Gladbach progressed from set pieces

A free kick from the left by Alassane Plea in the 25th minute centre-back Marvin Friedrich headed it over the crossbar and Gladbach found there a way to cause problems for Bayern.

About five minutes later, in another strategic move, it was 1-0 against all odds. Maximilian Wöber headed for a corner at the near post and Ko Itakura, unmarked, also put the ball past the post with his head.

I recovered, hit the crossbar and then tied up

Kane featured very little in the first half and Leroy Sané had the big chance before the break when, after receiving from Thomas Müller, stood in the goal Moritz Nicolas, but the crossbar repelled his shot when the goal was sung (38′).

Bayern insisted on the restart, but they continued to lack ideas and vision in attack until Joshua Kimmich He puts a good bounce pass into the area, Sané brings it down and, alone against Nicolas, he beats him by crossing the ball although he doesn’t hold it well (58′).

Thomas Tuchel changed pieces in the 70th minute giving entry to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry, who, as soon as he entered, ruined a very clear chance by going alone against the body of Nicholas when the easiest thing is to score (77′).

Kane doesn’t show up and Til decides

Although Sané has shown himself to be Bayern’s most intelligent and dangerous player, right He barely interfered as his teammates didn’t find him an option to finish between tight local defenses nor did they look for centers in the area.

It was almost a miracle that Gladbach resisted Bayern’s push and, in the final stages, a corner kick was taken by kimchi the new entrant entered it into the net Mathy’s phone (86′).

Bayern struggled to break the resistance of a prominent Nicolas but lost to a rival, with just one point to his credit, who he has lost just once in their last seven matches.
