"Unlike the first meeting this season at the Allianz Arena, when Bayern thrashed The Wolves 8-1, this game was much closer. The home side created several good chances in the first half, including a close-range header from Vinicius Souza, but they were all nullified by Bayern's defence. The biggest talking point in the first half was the penalty miss by Harry Kane. A collector's item, as that was his only Bundesliga miss from 12 yards out this season."
"Bayern Munich redeemed themselves defensively in the second half. The team found a bit more groove offensively with the introduction of Konrad Laimer on the right flank. The Austrian was also involved in Bayern's only goal of the game, passing to Michael Olise in the 56th minute. The Frenchman cut inside and delivered a trademark curler to claim three points, going back to Munich."
"This win will surely cheer the locker room up after the disappointing result midweek and serve as a confidence booster for the rest of the domestic campaign. Let us look at key takeaways from Saturday."
Bayern Munich traveled to the Volkswagen Arena after a Champions League semifinal loss to PSG and faced relegation-threatened Wolfsburg in the penultimate Bundesliga matchday. The first meeting earlier in the season ended 8-1 for Bayern, but this match was tighter. Wolfsburg created several good first-half chances, including a close-range header from Vinicius Souza, but Bayern’s defense kept them out. The major first-half moment was Harry Kane missing a penalty from 12 yards, his only Bundesliga miss from that distance this season. Bayern improved defensively after halftime and added attacking rhythm with Konrad Laimer on the right. Laimer assisted Michael Olise in the 56th minute, and Olise scored with a curler after cutting inside, securing three points.
