Bayern Munich continued its dominant form in the Bundesliga by overcoming a setback to defeat Stuttgart 3-1, thereby stretching its lead atop the league table to 11 points. This victory on Friday marks Bayern’s ninth triumph in the last ten league fixtures, much to the disappointment of its competitors who hoped for a tighter race after Stuttgart’s early advantage.
The match commenced with Stuttgart showing promise, as the team hit the woodwork and then successfully netted the opener. Former Bayern youth player Angelo Stiller thrilled the home fans with a remarkable strike, launching the ball into the top corner from a distance of 20 meters in the 34th minute.
However, Bayern responded emphatically right before the halftime whistle. Michael Olise capitalized on Leroy Sané’s clever through ball, leveling the score with a decisive finish during a one-on-one scenario with the goalkeeper.
In the second half, Bayern’s momentum continued. Leon Goretzka, stepping in for the injured Joshua Kimmich, gave the team a 2-1 lead with a well-placed effort. To seal the victory, Kingsley Coman added an impressive solo goal in the dying minutes of the match.
This result proved disheartening for Stuttgart, as the team had struggled to accumulate points in recent weeks, with only four points collected from its last six league matches. Once a fierce contender, Stuttgart has now slipped to seventh place in the standings.
