The Bundesliga champion went through a tense 90 minutes despite playing at home.
Bayern Munich was forced into a corner when they were 7 points behind Bayer Leverkusen before the cоnfrоntatiоn with Union Berlin.
Therefore, Thomas Tuchel’s team will be forced to defeat last season’s phenomenon if they want to continue to rekindle hopes of defending the championship.
They attacked vigorously right after the opening whistle. However, on a day when Harry Kane appeared quite ungrateful in the face of opportunities, the home team could not find a goal to take the lead in the first half.
But right after the break, Bayern found the goal to break the deadlock after a high аttаck from defender Raphaël Guerreiro.
The former Dortmund star had a decisive shot, not giving the Union Berlin goalkeeper any chance to block.
Conceding a goal, the away team appeared impatient. They have no choice but to push their squad higher in the hope of bringing the match back to the starting line. However, the concentration of Bayern’s defense did not let that happen.
The match was interrupted by a scuffle between Leroy Sane and the Union Berlin coaching staff. The referee had to issue a yellow card to “cool down” the hоt heads on the field.
Returning to the match, even though the opponent was no longer defending tightly, Bayern still could not take advantage of the opportunity.
1-0 was the final result of this clаsh.
Winning a narrow victory, Bayern shortened the gap with Leverkusen to 4 points.
