Bayern Munich: Takeaways from 3-1 victory over Sporting CP
"The game did a full 180-degree turn nine minutes after the restart when Joshua Kimmich scored a rare own-goal to put the visitors in front. However, Bayern trailed for only eleven minutes. Just after the hour mark, Serge Gnabry ghosted in at the far post to tap in a Michael Olise corner for the equalizer. Lennart Karl scored four minutes later to set a new record."
"However, considering the fact that Lennart Karl was denied a goal just five minutes into the match because of a marginal offside call against Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane also struck a post in the first half, one might be just as correct in saying that Bayern just didn't get the rub of the green in the first half."
Bayern Munich dominated possession and created early chances but were kept at bay by Rui Silva and a combination of near misses in the first half. Nine minutes after the restart Joshua Kimmich scored a rare own-goal to give Sporting the lead. Bayern equalized just after the hour when Serge Gnabry tapped in from a Michael Olise corner. Lennart Karl scored four minutes later to set a new record, and Jonathan Tah completed the comeback in the 77th minute. Sporting's low-block defense frustrated Bayern initially, but the starting XI solved the problem in the second half.
