Bayern Munich won the game against Union Berlin with Eric Dier’s debut.
Bayern won 1-0 in the 13th round of the Bundesliga against Union Berlin in the 2023-2024 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 25th (Korea time).
Bayern, which won the match on the day, ended its shock defeat at the last match against Werder Bremen and trailed league leader Bayer Leverkusen by four points. On the other hand, Berlin failed to widen its gap with 16th-ranked Mainz to three points due to the defeat. The match was originally scheduled for the 13th round on December 2, but was canceled due to heavy snowfall in Munich at the time.
Home team Bayern played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Harry Kane was at the forefront, while Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, and Kingsley Coman played in the second term. Jojua Kimihi and Leon Goretzka were in the third term, and the four-back was made up of Konrad Reimer, Matthijth Dericht, Upamecano, and Rafael Geheiro. The goal was saved by Manuel Neuer.
The visiting team Berlin countered with a 5-3-2 formation. Kevin Boland and Benedict Hollerbach were the two-top players, while Yannick Harborough, Lucas Fighters, and Alex Kral were among the midfielders. The defense featured Robin Gojens, Diogu Raitt, Kevin Faulkt, Robin Knoehe and Christopher Trimel. The goalkeeper’s gloves were worn by Frederick Lönow.
Bayern led the game from the start of the first half. Kimihi’s cross in the seventh minute of the first half touched Duricht’s head but was blocked by Lönow. In the ensuing attack opportunity, Upamecano tried to push the ball in once again, but the shot was also caught in Lönow’s finger.
Bayern continued its offensive. In the 11th minute of the first half, Kimihi and Goretzka connected the ball to Komang, who tried to shoot after breaking through, but failed to penetrate Lönou. In the 12th minute of the first half, Reimer’s shot unfortunately missed the goal. In Kimihi’s attack in the 23rd minute of the first half, Komang had another chance, but his shots repeatedly failed to make it into the goal.
Union also fought back. At the end of the first half, Gojens’ pass went to Harborough, and Harborough’s mid-range shot targeted Bayern’s goal. However, he was blocked by Neuer and failed to score. Bayern also finished 0-0 in the first half as both Sane and Musiala’s shots were blocked in the extra time of the first half.
Bayern had to replace it at the start of the second half. It decided to put in a dyer without Upamecano, who felt hamstring pain.
After Dyer was deployed, Bayern scored the first goal and went ahead. In the first minute of the second half, Geheiro shook Berlin’s net by pushing Kane’s shot back when it hit the post.
Bayern fought hard to score additional points. In the 10th minute of the second half, Kane scored the goal in Berlin by connecting the cutback pass that Sane gave from deep in the penalty box with a shot, but VARs confirmed the offside and it was not recognized as a goal.
Dyer’s hand-to-hand defense also came out. Dyer threw a cross from the left side and pushed it out of the goal line at the 35th minute of the second half. Bayern could have tied the game as it was only a one-goal gap, but Dyer’s defense escaped the crisis. Since then, the two teams failed to score additional goals, and the match ended with Bayern’s 1-0 victory. 마카오토토주소
