In the 25th round of the German Bundesliga, league leaders Bayern Munich played against Borussia Mönchengladbach at home. The match at "Allianz Arena" ended with a resounding 4-1 victory for the Munich side, and the team took another step forward in the championship race.
The main intrigue before the match was that the hosts' top scorer, Harry Kane, was sidelined due to injury. Although this news caused some concern among the fans, the events on the field showed that Bayern could find a solution in attack without Kane. Furthermore, another key member of the starting lineup, Michael Olise, was kept on the bench before the Champions League.
In the first half, Bayern gradually increased pressure, and Dias opened the scoring in the 33rd minute. At the end of the half, Laimer scored another goal in the 45+1st minute, bringing his team to a much calmer state - 2:0.
In the second half, the game became even more intense. Rice was sent off in the 55th minute for the visitors, and after that, Bayern's dominance became even clearer. In the 57th minute, Musiala accurately converted a penalty, making the score 3-0. In the 79th minute, Jackson scored the fourth goal, almost putting an end to the match.
At the end of the match, in the 89th minute, the Mönchengladbach side only scored with Mohja's goal - 4:1. However, this goal did not affect the fate of the game.
Following this victory, Kompany's team reached 66 points, 14 points ahead of their closest pursuer. Borussia Mönchengladbach remain in 12th place with 25 points. This means Bayern is getting closer to the championship finish line, and the visitors will need to work harder in the next rounds to find stability.
