Halftime Observations
- Bayern were patient enough to find gaps in this stubborn Union Berlin side, and were rewarded with two goals.
- Serge Gnabry appears to be more comfortable in the middle rather than out wide.
- The long pass game by Bayern has been causing all sorts of problems for Union.
- Michael Olise continues to be the danger man for Bayern. Biggest coup of the century, full stop.
45+2′ Halftime!

45′ – One minute of stoppage time is added on.
43′ – TOR! Michael Olise finally breaks the deadlock!
42′ – Stanisic does well but the shot was lacking; in essence, a missed sitter.
40′ – Olise and Kane both miss great chances to score.
38′ – Kane’s freekick goes too high on his freekick.
37′ – Danilho Doekhi clips Gnabry outside the box, concedes a freekick, and receives a yellow card.
35′ – Kim Min-jae lobs the ball for Olise, who couldn’t control it and goes out of play.

30′ – Leopold Querfeld fouls Olise just outside the box and gets booked.
29′ – Josip Stanisic plays a square ball to Karl but his shot hits the post and back into play. There seems to be a hint of offside too.
23′ – Bayern deflect an Union freekick behind for a corner. The ensuing corner leads to nothing.
21′ – Serge Gnabry’s shot goes well wide.
16′ – Joshua Kimmich and Lennart Karl combine on the right, but Karl’s shot is saved by Frederik Ronnow.
9′ – Michael Olise plays a ball over the top for Harry Kane, but the latter couldn’t direct the ball into the goal.
3′ – Dayot Upamecano gets an early yellow card.
Kickoff! – We are off!
Lineups are out!
Notably, Aleksandar Pavlović is out due to hip problems as reported by the club.
Bayern Munich blew Atalanta out of the water with a 10-2 aggregate win in the Champions League, which earned the Bavarians a draw with Real Madrid. That match follows an away match against Freiburg after the international break, which commences after this match.
The Rekordmeister has kind of struggled with Die Eisernen, either drawing or not winning by a comfortable margin since November 2024 (a 3-0 win for Bayern at the Allianz). With the Bundesliga pretty much sealed, Bayern could take it easy…or will they?
We shall see.
