Bavaria celebrates work victory against St. Pauli

There was not much positive things at Bayern recently: in the Bundesliga Schmolz the lead over Leverkusen After the home defeat against Bochum And the draw on Union Berlin – as of Saturday afternoon – three points. The international break was also not suitable for noticeably raising the mood in the area of ​​Säbener Straße: the injuries to central defenders Dayot Upamecano and left -back Alphonso Davies clouded the mood considerably. Above all, Davies’s cruciate ligament rupture has what it takes to become a permanent topic – CEO Jan -Christian Dreesen brought a possible complaint against the Canadian association.

How good that FC St. Pauli passed the Munich arena on Saturday afternoon. At the latest since Bayern’s rescuer game over 20 years ago, the Kiezclub and the record champions do not have a fan friendship, but actually something like sympathy – Consequently, Bayern patron Uli Hoeneß only acquired shares in the Hamburg stadium cooperative shortly before the game. The little goodie: At the team constellation of the Hamburg Las Bayern Stadium spokesman Stephan Lehmann, only the first names of the Paulians – and had the guest fans roared in the home game manner. In the end, both fan camps could be happy: the Hamburgers because their team had kept well with them. Bayern because after the 3-2 victory the Bundesliga world seems to be fine again.

Harry Kane ended a five -game inhibition against St. Pauli

Coach Vincent Kompany had to replace Davies and Upamecano against Pauli, compared to the last league game in Berlin, Josip Stanisic and Serge Gnabry also rotated on the bench. Konrad Laimer, Minjae Kim, Raphaël Guerreiro and Leroy Sané came to the starting eleven for the quartet. As expected, the Bavarians were tone from the start. Already in the 1st minute a header from Leon Goretzka went dangerously onto the Hamburg gate, but Nikola Vasilj defused to the corner in the box. The early quarter of an hour showed that the guests can quickly become dangerous: First, Jonas Urbig, who again represented the injured Manuel Neuer, dipped a flank from Noah Weißhaupt mutated into a shot (8th). Then captain Jackson Irvine first put a flank with a head on Kimmich and from there to the Bayern latte (14th).

After that, however, it went the apparently predetermined path: In the Pauli construction game, Jamal Musiala first grabbed the ball of sieves van der Heyden and served Michael Olise. The Frenchman put across the middle – and there was Harry Kane to end his dry spell in the Bundesliga, which is incredible for his standards. The 1-0 of the Englishman (17th) was the first league hit since the 3-0 against Bremen in early February, the 31-year-old had no longer scored for five games.

Bayern’s defense against St. Pauli did not always look saddle -proof

All right now? Not really. Because Pauli did not hide, looked for the ball possession aggressively and played quickly and directly forward. At a counterattack by the Hamburgers, the uncontrolled Manoli Saliaca played the ball sharply in the middle. There Eric dier was not close enough to Elias Saad. The German-Tuniesian only had to insert to 1: 1 equalization (27th). The goal was not alone in the account of the English central defender, but fit the unfortunate appearance of the former Tottenham professional. At half-time, Bayern, as expected, were supervised with an Expected goal value of 2.16 to 0.67-the score was deserved in view of the brave style of play.

At the break, Kompany brought the most recent Joao Palhinha for Goretzka – probably in order to have more stability in the event of counterattacks of the guests. This only worked to a limited extent, the Munich continued to allow large rooms in the headquarters. The Portuguese picked up yellow after six minutes after he had stopped the white head broken in midfield. One of the rare Bayern counterparts in their own stadium was then that had the fans of the Munich cheered for the second time. Sané was served by Olise, who came to the shot in the left corner of the penalty area – and placed the ball as well in the Pauli box – 2-1 for Bayern (53.). Musiala could have made the decision after 69 minutes, but the national player’s shot crashed back into the game from the bottom edge of the latte. Sané then brought the one to Kane: In an overpayment situation, the Englishman serves the player who was running, who cheers for the second time – 3: 1 (70th). Finally, Ritzka scored 3-2 (93.) for St. Pauli.
