Bavaria Idol: Two great chances awarded
first half: Leverkusen was very high, was the intent on defensive stability Bayern early and had the optically active team. The result was an offside goal by Stefan Kiessling and a good shot chance of Tin Jedvaj. Guests had the best scoring chance: Mario Götze played about 27 minutes into the goalkeeper Bernd Leno, but could be a bit too much time, and so was his Torschieber (as shot it just can not be called) clarified by Jedvaj clearly before the goal line.
The second half: It could have been different for Bayern when Lewandowski substitute Claudio Pizarro could have used in the 48th minute his big chance. Then Bayer went through Calhanoglu lead. The visitors kept quite for an equalizer, Leverkusen was after the break but the overall better team. Idol had the opportunity to 1: 1, however, before his bad Heber buckled the national team to easily. It was, after all, not a gaffe like the penalty shoot-out against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern kit man may sleep peacefully again.
Debut: offers a story about Guardiola’s Bundesliga debutants number ten (Rico Strieder) and eleven (Luke Görtler)? No, it should go to Manuel Neuer. The goalkeeper conceded for the first time in his four years Bundesliga for Bayern a goal through a direct free-kick.
solo run: In the closing stages substitute Thiago lost in the attacking half against Karim Bellarabi the ball – that was the preliminary decision. Because Bell Arabi began a inimitable single-handedly took care after 60 meters to Brandt, the New with a neat strike into the right corner no chance left.
