"Bayern Munich scored twice from a corner and once from a set piece. These numbers are practically unheard of for this club. Meanwhile, in terms of game balance, it was fairly lopsided in Union's favor - the Bavarians were pinned back for most of the second half. This was not the confident, self-assured defensive performance that we saw against PSG. Bayern were rattled, and trying desperately to stay afloat."
"Starting his fourth competitive game in a row, the youngster was one of the more lively players on the pitch. Still, he was a far cry from his usual mercurial self - barely making an impact over the duration of the minutes he played. Simply put, this is too much too fast for him. Karl needs more rest, and he needs to be protected from these extremely high pressure situations."
Bayern Munich conceded two goals from corners and one from a set piece, an unusually high number for the club. Match momentum favored Union Berlin, with Bayern pinned back for much of the second half and appearing rattled. Union finished with all attackers on the pitch while Bayern introduced defenders, producing a lack of control, dominance, and style. Vincent Kompany implemented tactical adjustments after earlier results, and those changes produced measurable effects in match approach. Lennart Karl, 17, started his fourth consecutive competitive game, showed limited impact, and requires rest and protection from high-pressure stadium environments.
