Bayern Munich showcased their dominance with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, solidifying their position at the top of the league.
Introduction:
FC Bayern Munich handed Werder Bremen a six-point thrashing as Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, and Harry Kane took charge in a 5-0 show of supremacy at Weserstadion. Olise and Musiala were on target in the first half before Kane, Olise and Serge Gnabry went for the kill at the break. This win means Bayern had an ideal start to the season, gaining 12 points from its opening four games.
Other Changes to the Starting XI Caused by Injuries
Bayern was close to a last-minute reshuffle as his team was about to take the field when goalkeeper Manuel Neuer withdrew from the match after injuring himself during warm-up exercises. That would mean Sven Ulreich might replace him in a very solid backline for Bayern through Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Minjae Kim, and Alphonso Davies.

Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović anchored midfield, while Olise and Musiala, with Coman, played in advanced positions behind Harry Kane, who led the attack for Bayern. Bayern’s depth meant that their manager, Thomas Tuchel, could call upon players like Raphaël Guerreiro, Gnabry, João Palhinha, Leroy Sané, or Thomas Müller when needed.

From the beginning, Bayern dominated the game by its tempo and an aggressiveness marked with piercing passes. Bayern nearly scored when Laimer hit the cross-bar with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area and set the tone of the attacking wave that followed. Harry Kane had his free kick go just over, while Jamal Musiala’s first attempt went wide.

Kane and Olise Lock It Down for Good in the Second Half
Werder Bremen seemed to get more into the game a bit more eagerly with that break and made a few changes to bring in speed and energy. But Bayern was well in control and pressed for the other goals, which was badly needed. Harry Kane, who had been a constant threat, found Olise once again in space. This time, Olise repaid and found Kane in excellent position to equalize a record of 41 Bundesliga goals by an Englishman.
Olise was not done yet. He soon did strike again this time from 15 yards, his spot in the top corner of the net to finish off his brace. With the game effectively out of reach for Werder Bremen Bayern had no intentions of slowing down.
Gnabry Adds The Finishing Touches
Serge Gnabry completed Bayern’s goal glut with a spectacular solo effort into the far corner from the left, where he cut inside the penalty area, 5-0. Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer pulled two good saves out of him to deny Kane from completing his hat-trick.
Bremen made some spirited tries, but Bayern’s defense seemed impervious to any disruption. Jamal Musiala had another chance blocked, and Kimmich hit the crossbar in injury time as Bayern continued relentless pressing for that one more goal.
