"While Cardozo and Daiber were celebrating a debut and more minutes played with the Bayern first team, respectively, the U-23s dearly missed them. Left back Deniz Ofli, who moved up to the U-23s with Cardozo and Daiber at the turn of the new year, could feel slightly aggrieved at not joining the latter two, especially considering the senior team's current left back crisis."
"But he was needed for the U-23s, who bizarrely lined up with four full backs. Right back Maximilian Schuhbauer and left back Julien Yanda lined up as wingers on either flank, with Vincent Manuba and Ofli behind them. In turn, four forwards in Michael Scott, Arthur Degraf, Mudaser Sadat and Bajung Darboe were left on the bench."
Bayern Munich's U-23 team secured a 2-1 victory in their match, with goals from Fesser in the 14th minute and George in the 42nd minute, while the opposition scored through Heinz in the 67th minute. The squad faced significant absences due to player promotions and injuries, including Maycon Cardozo and David Santos Daiber who joined the first team. The team deployed an unusual tactical setup featuring four fullbacks, with right back Maximilian Schuhbauer and left back Julien Yanda positioned as wingers, while fullbacks Vincent Manuba and Deniz Ofli provided defensive cover. Multiple forwards remained on the bench during the match.
