Bayern’s Offensive Tide

The first ten minutes of the match saw both teams exchange attacks without any danger on either side. However, Bayern quickly seized the lead and ignited their enthusiasm with an early first goal. This was followed by Goritska’s header attempt and Mueller’s goal from a corner kick.

Despite Dortmund goalkeeper Coppel’s efforts to block Koeman’s shot and Sani’s long-range attempt, Mueller scored again to add a third goal for his team. The hosts continued to push their offensive tide, and Koeman almost gave Bayern a fourth goal at the end of the first half.

Consolidation of Bayern’s Lead

Bayern continued to dominate the game in the second half, as they quickly consolidated their lead with a fourth goal from Koeman. Although Choupo Moting’s back kick toward the net was denied due to offside, Bayern remained relentless in their attack.

Bayern goalkeeper Sumire blocked a shot from Koeman before Emery Chan managed to score a penalty kick to get Dortmund on the scoreboard. However, it was not enough to overturn Bayern’s lead. Despite a lightning shot from Malin that resulted in Dortmund’s second goal, Bayern emerged victorious with a 4-2 score.
