The first 30 minutes of FCBayernEN's win over bayer04_en were tough for the league leaders, but as they’ve so often done this season, they aced the test. GalindoPW offers up his musings on Bayern’s earlier adversity and more from Matchday 30 ⤵️
However, both players are suspended for this Saturday versus Borussia Monchengladbach. That would’ve added some much-needed intrigue for that match, if Alassane Plea didn’t get himself sent off in ‘Gladbach’s game Friday.
The decision was somewhat justified given how Leverkusen approached the match. The hosts relentlessly pressed Bayern and deployed a high defensive line in order to pin their opponents in their own defensive third.That didn’t work because Bayern utilized the speed of Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry on the break. Both wingers drifted inside, executed runs off the last shoulder of the defence and latched onto through balls behind the defenders whenever Leverkusen coughed up possession.
Borussia Monchengladbach had an opportunity to lay down a marker on Friday. Despite dominating the first half, Gladbach lost 1-0 to Freiburg and Alassane Plea was sent off, meaning he’s suspended for the Bayern Munich game next weekend., the hosts should’ve finished the half with a lead.The saving grace was Leverkusen losing to Bayern, which keeps both sides level on 56 points. Gladbach is still in fourth due to a superior goal differential.
Thanks to those results, Borussia Dortmund separated itself from the pack after defeating Hertha Berlin 1-0. The scoreline suggests it was a grind, but BVB was in complete control.
