Bayern Munich secured a crucial 3-1 victory away from home against VfB Stuttgart, despite a slow start to the match. Goals from Michael Olise, Leon Goretzka, and Kingsley Coman helped Bayern overcome a spirited Stuttgart side that dominated possession in the first half.
However, it was Bayern who struck first, with their goal canceling out a strong effort from Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller in the 34th minute. The German Rekordmeister continued to press forward, eventually taking control of the match in the second half.
Despite struggling with injuries, including key players Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović, Bayern managed to up their performance after halftime. “It was a tough game,” said midfielder Leon Goretzka, who started alongside João Palhinha. “We didn’t start well, but we stayed calm and won the second balls that we didn’t win in the first half.”
Goretzka praised his teammate Palhinha for growing into the match, saying that their partnership developed as the game progressed. Bayern’s victory marks an important step forward leading into their Champions League showdown with Bayer Leverkusen.
