"Kim Min-jae stepped in for Dayot Upamecano, who did not even dress due to "load management." Otherwise, Tom Bischof started over Josip Stanišić at left-back, Raphaël Guerreiro started for Serge Gnabry, and Lennart Karl got the nod over Michael Olise. Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer inexplicably started again over Jonas Urbig. This is not a knock on Neuer, but he does need some downtime and Urbig needs some minutes. This game was the best way to make both of those things happen."
"St. Pauli did not waste time in jumping out in front of Bayern Munich when Mathias Pereira Lage took advantage of some sloppy play from Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich, which allowed Andreas Hountondji to slip behind Kim Min-jae for a 1-0 lead in the 6th minute. There is a strong argument that could be made that Neuer made both a physical and mental mistake on the play, but those were just the final mistakes in a series of unfortunate events for the Bavarians."
"The goal did not seem to bother Bayern Munich too much, but the Bavarians would endure a series of would-be goals that did not come to fruition. Karl hit the post in the 23rd minute and Bischof hit the post (off of a deflection) in the 40th minute. There were other near-misses, too, but those were the two most significant attempts."
Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich recovered a hard-fought 3-1 victory over St. Pauli after two late goals in added time. Kim Min-jae replaced Dayot Upamecano, who was rested for load management, while Tom Bischof, Raphaël Guerreiro, and Lennart Karl started. Manuel Neuer started in goal over Jonas Urbig. St. Pauli struck early when Mathias Pereira Lage capitalized on sloppy play to set up Andreas Hountondji's 6th-minute opener. Bayern dominated possession and created chances but were inefficient; Karl and Bischof hit the post, and multiple near-misses prolonged the deficit until late goals secured the win.
