"Bayern Munich hit the road to battle RB Leipzig in a match between two of the Bundesliga's best squads. Each team was eager for this game, though, as Die Roten Bullen had revenge as a goal, while the Bavarians just wanted to bury a competitor even further. Ultimately, Bayern Munich would use a rousing second half effort to race away from RB Leipzig for a convincing 5-1 victory."
"There were two choices that jumped off the page: Michael Olise on the bench and Tom Bischof at right-back. Neither was expected. Olise did have an off game vs. FC Köln (despite registering an assist), so it is curious if he is banged up, sick, or maybe just needed some downtime. Kompany would say in a pre-match interview that it was simply a move to rest Olise."
"Christoph Baumgarter, who is having an excellent season, almost put RB Leipzig up 1-0 in the 3rd minute, but his curling attempt went just wide. It was clear that RB Leipzig was more focused, hungry, and together than in the season opener. Baumgarntner, though, would not have a great game overall. Minutes later, Antonio Nusa missed a great chance after an excellent look from rumored Bayern Munich transfer target Yan Diomande."
Bayern Munich overpowered RB Leipzig with a dominant second-half performance, winning 5-1. Bayern sought to extend their advantage while Leipzig aimed for revenge. Managerial selection surprised with Michael Olise benched and Tom Bischof at right-back; Kompany said Olise was rested. Leipzig began sharper, with Christoph Baumgarter nearly scoring and Antonio Nusa missing following Yan Diomande's setup. Bayern teenagers like Karl showed promise but lacked composure on certain chances. The final score reflected Bayern's clinical finishing after halftime and Leipzig's inability to sustain early intensity across the full match.
