"Bayern Munich returned to winning ways after beating Wolfsburg 1-0 in the Bundesliga at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday. The Bavarian giants suffered a heart-breaking exit in the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain in the midweek, which means they cannot win treble this season."
"The visitors started brightly and carved out the first meaningful opportunity when Denis Vavro rose to meet a delivery inside the box, but his header from close range sailed over the crossbar. Bayern responded swiftly through a cleverly worked corner routine that allowed Jamal Musiala to unleash a right-footed effort from a tight angle, though Kamil Grabara was alert to make the save. The Bavarian giants continued to threaten, and Tom Bischof came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock when his superb curling strike from outside the area rattled the crossbar."
"A major turning point arrived around the half-hour mark when Konstantinos Koulierakis brought down Michael Olise inside the area. Following a VAR review, the referee pointed to the spot, presenting Bayern with a golden chance to take control. Harry Kane stepped up, but in a rare moment of failure, the England captain dragged his penalty wide his first miss from the spot this season."
"Wolfsburg, however, were far from passengers and forced Jonas Urbig into action on multiple occasions. The Bayern goalkeeper produced a stunning close-range save to preserve parity, before denying Nicolas Jackson moments later as the hosts began to grow into the contest. Wolfsburg sensed an opportunity and pushed forward with renewed belief before the break."
