The Munich club’s exposure was enough for a strong-willed double at the final whistle.
March 06, 2021, 9:25 PM
Absolutely central on matchday 24 of the German Bundesliga was considered the game on the field of the Allianz Arena, which in the local area has recently been called der Klassiker. Of course, there have been times in the last decade when the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in the national championship standings, or any other tournament of different caliber, depended much more than on current realities, but the The essence of the early duel of the two most popular German teams outside the country did not change at all.
The teams did not delay the development of the events. The best player of the ‘bumblebees’ of the moment, the Norwegian forward Erling Holland, already in the second minute managed to put the ball under the base of the right post of Manuel Neuer, having previously received a comfortable pass from the right wing of Delaney in front of other people’s possessions. Bayern did not have time to get away from the clash, as after seven minutes the rivals again destroyed their defense with the amplitude of their passes, and the Netherlands scored a double, taking advantage of Azar’s pass from the left wing of the penalty area.
Only from that moment could it be considered that the match began formally for the Hans-Dieter Flick team, only that the scoreboard already had a spectacular “-2” from the rivals. To the credit of the “Red Machine”, none of their players were going to lower their heads. Lewandowski immediately began looking for opportunities to distinguish himself with his own scored ball, which he walked confidently until the 26th minute, when Leroy Sane, in a trademark false swing on the right flank, put Schultz out of business, after which he issued a center to the Polish striker under an empty net between two defenders.
Pressure, total control of the ball and a tighter position of the defense: Flick gave three orders from the bench and a completely different atmosphere reigned on the football field. “Bumblebees” didn’t immediately realize that they were losing control of the situation, but when they stopped showing up on the wrong side of the field, it was too late to do anything.
As a result, regular visits to other people’s possessions at the end of the first half turned into a penalty for Borussia. Koman on the right flank of the penalty was brought down by Daud, after which Lewandowski doubled with his usual penalty in the lower left corner.
Terzic carried his team perfectly at the start of the match, but his courageous decision as a coach was clearly flawed during the break. The guests showed no flexibility in the tactical pattern, as a result of which Bayern organized a “meditative circle” on the other side, in pragmatic control waiting for the free zone for a striking move to aggravation. The champion managed to develop his skill of patience to the limit during the current season, so the late goal two minutes before the final whistle did not particularly surprise the home team.
Borussia entered into disputes with the referee, after taking the ball from Jan in midfield, and meanwhile, their opponents had already entered the final phase of the counterattack, which ended with Lewandowski’s serve from the right wing. Meunier took the ball off the far post, but it passed it exactly into the center of the penalty area on Goretzke’s leg.
And, just to be safe, Lewandowski, two minutes later, closed the fight with a cold-blooded blow from a semi-circle near the penalty area under the left post, as if echoing Holland’s first goal, which had already been removed from the game as a result of a foot injury. Victory for Munich, which to a certain extent corresponds to what is happening in qualifying.
In the next round, Bayern Munich will play an away game against Werder Bremen from Bremen, while Borussia Dortmund will host Hertha from Berlin.
