 | Bayern won in an atypical way10-12-2017 |
Germany`s Bayern Munich made a very difficult 1:0 victory on a visit to Eintracht (Frankfurt) in a 15th round of the Bundesliga and at least for a few hours increased to 8 points in the lead as at the same timethe second Leipzig finished 2-2 at home against Mainz 05. This guaranteed the first place at the end of the half-season. But in this game of the Komerczbank Arena, the Bavarians were far from the face they showed against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. They made only one shot in the outline of the door - scored by Arturo Vidal in the 20th minute, and for the most part of the rest of the time they defended with all their might.
Chief Justice Harm Homers played a major role in meeting two of his controversial judgments. In the 53rd minute, he decided not to display a second yellow card to Vidal, although Bayern`s midfielder deliberately fouled the stride to the field of play, Marius Wolf. About 20 minutes later, the referee in question raised Wolf`s direct red card for a very harsh entry into the feet of Hamers Rodriguez, but then looked at the situation and replaced the yellow card.
Surprisingly, Robert Lewandowski was recorded among the Munich Reserve. Instead, Thomas Müller was the central striker, but he was one of the most unconvincing on the pitch. From behind positions he was helped by James Rodriguez, Kingsley Commander and Franck Ribery, and the pony appeared only at the end. The Mats Hummels, Coren Tollis and David Alabas also sat down on the bench. During the warm-up, goalkeeper Sven Ulriah felt pain and the arrival of veteran Tom Sarke, who was among the highs for Bayern today.
The hosts were expected to put Ante Rebich and Sebastien Aller on the attack, but they only got ahead of the Frenchman 5-4-1 in front of the Frenchman. Kevin-Prince Boateng, who was in the midfield, stood up against his brother Jerome Boateng. After the goal of Bayern, the hosts played much more offensive.
Ante Rebich tortured the defense of the Bavarians with a series of dangerous entrances and strikes. Bayern could have been catching up with the score as early as the 6th minute when Vidal was right in front of his penalty area and had to commit a violation for which he received a yellow card. From the follow-up performance, Rebecch kicked hard but Sharke reflected. The 36-year-old guard intervened excellently after a hit by Rebich in the 25th minute. The Croatian striker of the hosts continued to be their most dangerous player and in the 33rd minute defender of Bayern with his body screamed another shot at the door.
In the 40th minute, the veteran echoed Jetro Willems coolly and shot after a direct free-kick hit.
In the 53rd minute came the controversial situation with the perhaps saved second yellow card of Vidal. Jep Heinkes responded quickly and immediately replaced the Chilean.
As time progressed, the guests were defending more and more as Javier Martinez stood as the third central defender, and Alabo was acting as midfielder. Bayern`s tactics worked because the players in the white teams never managed to create a 100 percent position.
In the coming week there will be an intermediate round in the Bundesliga
