Updated:2025-10-11 08:33 Views:136Bayern Munich secured their second victory in three league games against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon, securing a hard-fought 4-2 win at the Allianz Arena.
The Bavarian giants dominated the first half, creating several chances that were not converted. However, they finally broke through when Robert Lewandowski scored from a corner kick, his third goal of the season. The German international's pace and power proved too much for Leverkusen goalkeeper Philipp Grünbeck, who was forced to react late to save the initial effort.
Leverkusen responded quickly in the second half, with midfielder Kevin De Bruyne finding himself in space and feeding Lewandowski again from the left flank. This time, Lewandowski finished with ease, converting his second goal of the match and putting Bayern ahead.
However, Leverkusen refused to give up, and their defense came back into play, preventing Bayern from adding more goals. In the 86th minute, Kevin Musiala scored from a free-kick, his first league goal of the season, to level the score and send the game into extra time.
In extra time, Bayern continued to dominate, with Lewandowski and De Bruyne both scoring to secure the win. Lewandowski added his third goal of the night, this time from a penalty kick, after being fouled inside the box.
The win gives Bayern Munich a record of 15 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 20 league matches, moving them up to third place in the table behind leaders Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. Leverkusen remain seventh in the standings, having lost all three of their games so far this season.
Overall, this was another impressive performance from Bayern Munich, showcasing their strength on both ends of the pitch. Lewandowski remains their top scorer with 15 goals in just 19 appearances, while De Bruyne is proving to be a key player for the team. The win also puts pressure on Leverkusen, who will need to bounce back quickly if they want to avoid dropping further down the table.
