Bayern Munich Bochum Goals 7-0 (21/08/2022)
Leroy Sane scored on their opening assault of the game to give them the lead,
and new acquisition Matthijs de Ligt scored his first goal for Bayern in the 25th minute by heading in a corner at the far post.
Just over the halfway point,
Kingsley Coman’s close-range strike after Bochum failed to clear made it 3-0 and all but ended the game,
and Mane’s low shot from a tight angle in the 42nd minute capped off the first-half flurry.
Since star striker Robert Lewandowski left for Barcelona,
Bayern, who had scored 15 goals in three league games,
let up a bit. On the hour, however, the Senegal international added another with a penalty.
When Sane pressured Cristian Gamboa into an own goal,
the hosts were further humiliated. Serge Gnabry, a substitute,
then made it look so simple with a thunderous low shot off the post to make it 7-0.
In the 33rd minute,
Kingsley Coman capitalised on a Riemann save to make it 3-0 just before halftime after the goalkeeper had done well to stop Thomas Muller’s original shot.
Before halftime,
Mane scored again as Bochum gave in to relentless pressure. Midway through the second half,
the former Liverpool player doubled his total by calmly converting from the penalty spot after Coman was brought down in the box.
By deflecting a pass from Joshua Kimmich into his own goal,
Bochum defender Gamboa made things considerably worse for his team. Late in the game,
Gnabry increased the score to 7-0,
giving the visitors the victory.
By putting on yet another performance of the highest calibre on Bundesliga Matchday 3,
the Bavarians maintained their winning streak this season.
When Bayern Munich defeated VfL Bochum 0-7 away from home,
it added three more points to its celebration of a high-scoring victory. Bayern has 15 goals so far this season while only giving up one.
Due to Alphonso Davies’ minor injury, Jamal Musiala’s absence,
and Serge Gnabry’s wrist pain,
Julian Nagelsmann changed the starting lineup, starting Matthijs de Ligt for the first time in place of Alphonso Davies on the left,
Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman in place of Thomas Muller and Sadio Mane,
and playing Lucas Hernandez on the left.
Leroy Sane started the attack that resulted in the first goal with a fantastic team goal,
and he then capped it off with a beautiful right-footed strike from an awkward angle. De Ligt headed in the first goal in a Bayern jersey a little while afterwards.
Later, the third and fourth goals were scored by Kingsley Coman and Sadio Mane,
