The hosts did not completely release the second lineup, at least the return of Boateng to the field and the presence of Neuer, Davis, Goretzky and Muller on the base spoke of this very eloquently. The guests, and therefore, were not favorites of the party, and before him they also faced a series of personnel problems. As a result, there are only 16 players left at Marko Nikolic’s disposal in Munich, three of whom are goalkeepers.
In the first half, the guests managed to stop the rival, although Guilherme could not do without dangerous moments at the door. After hitting Douglas Costa, the Brazilian with a Russian passport saved, but Thomas Muller’s shot missed, although it had every chance of becoming an assist.
Lokomotiv’s own counterattacks failed for a long time, or rather, the transition to them did not work, which was interrupted by a qualitative choice of position by the central defenders and the defensive positions of Bavaria. But Nikolic’s charges also had certain occasions, for example, after Anton Miranchuk’s blow, only the defender backed Neuer, who had already been recovered. But in general, in the game, the advantage of the current owner of the KECH in the first half was monstrous, which the statistics confirm. But she tells us that only one of the nine kicks in the Munich team’s performance hit the mark.
The nature of the game after the break did not change at all, with the only difference that now Serge Gnabry, who replaced Mueller during the break, was directing the attacks of “Bavaria”. Miraculously called Marinato, Gnabry did not open the scoring after Davis’ left lumbago. Serge had two attempts to shoot Guilherme, but in the first case the goalkeeper “left his leg”, with which he deflected the ball, in the second the German midfielder simply did not get into an empty corner.
Where technique cannot handle, brute force decides. Douglas Costa from a corner hung right in the head of Niklas Zule and the central defender put the ball into the net with a strong blow. It is especially offensive to invited fans to realize the fact that this very corner was misallocated – the ball passed past the front of Musiyala’s leg …
To be fair, it must be said that in the end, “Lokomotiv” attacked well and even had a chance to level the score. Iosifov, who left the bench, was remembered for speed and pressure, Chorluka punched him in the head after the flag kick. And yet the upper class of “Bavaria” again affected, Gnabry first shot, but Guilherme helped, and then he decided to give a penetrating pass to Chupo-Motinga and the Cameroonian shot the goalkeeper with a powerful shot in the near upper corner .
The Hansi Flick sentinels scored 16 points and confidently won Group N. Lokomotiv remained last, because although Red Bull Salzburg were beaten by Atlético, they needed the Munich team to win today by chances at least in the Europa League.
