"Amazingly, despite playing a man down for the majority of the game, the home team managed to frustrate Bayern for over an hour. The Bundesliga leaders eventually wore down the opponents and took the lead through Joshua Kimmich in the 64th minute. Five minutes later, substitute Raphael Guerreiro scored the second, and in the 81st minute, another substitute, the now seemingly irrepressible Lennart Karl, struck with a beauty of a shot from long range to make it 3-0."
"Apart from scoring the all-important first goal, in the absence of Manuel Neuer, Bayern's stand-in captain for the night had a fine all-round game. Kimmich found a teammate with 96% of his passes (105/109) and created two chances. Although Gladbach seldom threatened going forward, the 30-year-old midfielder was present defensively when required. He completed three recoveries and won his sole tackle."
Borussia Monchengladbach went down to ten men after 18 minutes when right-back Jens Castrop received a red card following a VAR review for a dangerous tackle on Luis Díaz. The home side frustrated Bayern Munich for over an hour despite the numerical disadvantage. Bayern eventually took control and scored through Joshua Kimmich in the 64th minute, Raphael Guerreiro in the 69th and substitute Lennart Karl in the 81st. Kimmich served as stand-in captain in Manuel Neuer's absence, completed 105 of 109 passes (96%), created two chances, made three recoveries and won one tackle. Serge Gnabry supplied the cross for Kimmich's goal.
