Coach Thomas Tuchel and his team just received a disappointing loss and were far behind Bayer Leverkusen on the rankings.
Returning to the Bundesliga, this morning, Bayern Munich welcomed Borussia Dortmund at home.
In the context that Bayer Leverkusen successfully came back and won all 3 points against Hoffenheim, it can be said that coach Thomas Tuchel and his team entered this match with “an imperative to win”.
However, Bayern is expected to experience a challenging 90 minutes, with the away team having only lost 1/17 recent matches in all competitions.
Right from the 10th minute, Dortmund scored the opening goal of the match thanks to Karim Adeyemi.
After a period of deadlock, in the 23rd minute, Bayern had an extremely good opportunity to equalize the score. However, Harry Kane headed the ball out even though no one was marking him.
Entering the second half, Dortmund was still the better team with consecutive shots from Adeyemi and Felix Nmecha.
It wasn’t until Tuchel made changes that Bayern’s game got better. However, they missed all the opportunities they created against Dortmund.
In the 83rd minute, the away team ended all hopes of a comeback for the Gray Tigers with a goal that doubled the gap thanks to defender Julian Ryerson.
Receiving a final 0-2 defeat, Bayern can only blame themselves for wasting too many opportunities. According to data from Fotmob, they took 17 shots against Dortmund but failed to score any goals, wasting 3 big chances.
After this loss, Bayern was 13 points behind Leverkusen. In the context of the Bundesliga with only 7 rounds remaining, unless coach Xabi Alonso’s team declines miserably, the Gray Tigers will certainly become “former kings”.
