A clear matter in East Westphalia: the record champions are not naked with the newcomers from Bielefeld and win with confidence. Even a dismissal doesn’t bother the Munich team.
Series champions Bayern Munich are clearly back on track in the Bundesliga. On Matchday 4, Munich presented themselves as a ruthless scoring machine, winning 4: 1 (3: 0) over the promoted Arminia Bielefeld. As a result, FC Bayern took second place at least temporarily and have almost corrected the 1: 4 slip in Hoffenheim. “We showed a good face and a great game,” said captain Manuel Neuer. “We scored four goals, that speaks of our strong offense.”
Outstanding double packers Thomas Müller (8./51.) And Robert Lewandowski (26./45.+1) secured Bayern’s 26th victory in the last 27 competitive matches with a goal from Ritsu Doan (58.). , Corentin Tolisso was red card (76th) for an emergency brake. “The first half was close to how we envision football,” said coach Hansi Flick, who criticized Corentin Tolisso’s late red card for an emergency brake (76th) as “stupid.”
Europe’s Footballer of the Year Lewandowski completed his personal stats. He has now scored against all 18 first division clubs, including Bayern. The Pole, who moved to Germany in 2010, had never played against Arminia, who last played in the Bundesliga in 2009. With seven goals this season after four games, he surpassed Andrej Kramaric (six) of Hoffenheim, who currently he is absent with a corona infection, at the top of the top scorers list. And with a total of 17 goals, Bayern also set the 53-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach’s four-match starting record. However, Munich have already conceded eight goals, currently the fourth most in the league.
Bayern with nine changes in the starting eleven
The start to the season for Arminia, who was unbeaten at home for over a year, remains decent with four points from four games. The sensation on Saturday was by no means tangible with a long and gruesome performance against inviolable Bayern. For years Bayern have had little pity for the promoted players, who two days after beating 1. FC Düren 3-0 in the DFB Cup with nine changes to the starting line-up again with the A-Elf; it was the 41st victory in the last 44 games.
When Bayern last played in Bielefeld, Jürgen Klinsmann remained their coach and Luca Toni scored the winning goal to make it 1-0. Ostwestfalen had to wait eleven and a half years for the record champions to play, and then no spectators were allowed in on Saturday. “That hurts a lot,” said Arminia coach Uwe Neuhaus, who met the Munich team for the first time as head coach.
The Champions League winner, who started without his future father Joshua Kimmich, approached the match seriously and was very dominant from the first minute. The payoff came quickly, and Müller’s of all people, plus Niklas Süle, the only one who had been on the field 46 hours earlier in the kickoff against Düren. The 2014 world champion used a sensational Lewandowski heel on the second attempt.
Bielefeld goalkeeper Ortega avoided an even bigger defeat
As a result, Bielefeld goalkeeper Stefan Ortega saved several times against Müller (15th), Lewandowski (28th) or Corentino Tolisso (33rd). Lewandowski, who scored at least twice in a Bundesliga match for the 63rd time, decided the match before half-time and could have scored much more often. Thus with a header (34º) and a crossbar after an error by Ortega (49º).
Bielefeld’s only chance in the first half was missed by captain Fabian Klos, who was still waiting for the first division goal, but missed against Manuel Neuer (31st). The very lively Doan then managed at least the goal of honor, and Klos with the presentation of the first Bundesliga scorer point.
