For the third day of the Bundesliga, the defending champion Bavarian hosted Hertha Berlin in his lair at the Allianz Arena. Last week’s defeat at Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich had to raise their heads and relaunch the formidable offensive machine. Unsurprisingly, the reigning European champions quickly put their foot on the ball and controlled the game without much hassle.
In the 11th minute of play, Robert Lewandowski forced the Berlin goalkeeper to work magnificently on a powerful strike that took the direction of the goal. At the half-hour mark, Thomas Muller thought he would open the scoring but after consulting the VAR, the referee of the match canceled out the opening of the score for an out-of-the position. We had to wait until the 40th minute of play to see the top scorer in Europe last season, find the way to the net, and allow his team to take the lead before the break. On his return from the locker room, the Pole saw double and scored the second goal of the Munchers with a flat foot full of composure (51st).
A new goal for him that did not in any way dash Hertha’s hopes. On the hour mark, Jhon Cordoba narrowed the gap with a powerful header that this time left Neuer helpless (60th). But while Bayern thought they had a quiet end to the game, Hertha’s Brazilian striker Matheus Cunha did not hear it from that ear and allowed his team to regain hope by equalizing on a good serve from Piatek (71′). But it was without counting on the inevitable Robert Lewandowski who gave the Bavarian the third goal five minutes from the end, on good service from Thomas Muller. But decidedly, this match did not lack a reversal of the situation and the players of the capital equalized once again in this match through Ngankam just entered the game, before the three-time scorer of the evening came to endorse any hope of the opponent. Lewandowski scored a quadruple and gave way. In the standings, Bayern climbed to 4th place.
