Outstanding performance
FC Bayern München•AttackerBayern Munich controlled the game from start to finish, racking up 822 passes to Elversberg's 321 and creating four big chances against the hosts' two, yet found themselves level for over 20 minutes after Maurice Krattenmacher's stunning strike from outside the box. Lennart Karl's early opener came from sustained pressure and a scrambled six-yard finish, but Elversberg's resilience and a 76% pass accuracy in defense kept them in the contest longer than the stats suggested they should. Harry Kane, denied by a block and then flagged offside earlier in the half, finally got his reward in the 72nd minute to restore Bayern's lead following a flurry of second-half substitutions that injected fresh legs including Musiala, Díaz and Kimmich. For Bayern, the result keeps them on track in the title race despite a below-par attacking return from 28 shots, while Elversberg's battling performance won't be enough to lift them from the relegation zone given their season-long struggles for consistency.
