"It is really nice to score just three minutes into a match. Even better when the lead is 2-0 at just 10 minutes. So, when Bayern Munich did all that and led Hamburg 4-0 at halftime in their Bundesliga clash, everyone knew there would be no more difficulties for the Bavarians in this match, which ultimately ended 5-0. Vincent Kompany then had the chance to rest a few players. Manuel Neuer addressed all of this after the match."
""We were focused from the first minute. We scored some great goals, like Serge's. We stayed focused the entire game and wanted to keep a clean sheet," Bayern's number 1 said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "It was also important to go 4-0 up at the break so we can rest some players, as we had international games and many players travelled long distances.""
Bayern Munich opened quickly, scoring three minutes into the match and reaching a 2-0 lead by the tenth minute. The Bavarians extended the advantage to 4-0 by halftime and closed the game 5-0. Dominance from the outset left the contest uncompetitive and enabled player rest and rotation in the second half. Manuel Neuer emphasized focus from the first minute, praised the goals and the clean sheet, and noted the importance of a big halftime lead to rest players after international travel. The match served as a comfortable Bundesliga return for Bayern and a heavy defeat for Hamburger SV.
