12 October 2024 - 6:17 am

Bayern Munich achieved an easy victory over its guest, Freiburg, 3-0, in a match between the two teams at the Allianz Arena, today, Sunday, in the seventh round of the German League.
The Bavarian team’s hat-trick came from the feet of Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman (double) in the 12th, 25th and 85th minutes.

With this result, Bayern settled in third place by reaching point 17, while Freiburg stopped at 10 points in eighth place.

The danger on Bayern’s part appeared early after Kimmich tried to execute a deceptive corner kick, sending the ball directly towards the goal, but Höller was looking out for it, and deflected the ball with his head before it passed into the net.

The visitors had an opportunity to pose a threat to the Bavarian goal after a ball reached Höller on the edge of the penalty area, and he ran with the ball before strangely shooting it away from the goal.

By the 12th minute, Koeman surprised everyone with an imaginary goal after he received the ball on the right side, before running with it and sending a volley that deceived goalkeeper Atopolo, so that the ball hit the post before reaching the net.

Harry Kane’s danger appeared for the first time in the match a quarter of an hour after its start, when he fired a long-range shot, but his ball deviated from the goal and passed next to the post.

In a repeat scene of the first attempt, Kane returned a few seconds later to direct a shot identical to the first, but this time from the heart of the penalty area, but its fate did not change from the previous one.

Bayern did not stop their attempts, as they invaded their guest’s penalty area, and Kane succeeded in sending a ground cross towards Sane, who had no difficulty converting the ball into the net, scoring the second goal.

The match calmed down a little while the hosts took control before Sane returned to make his second mark in the match with a wonderful dribble before a powerful shot into the far left corner of the goal, scoring his team’s third goal.

But Sane’s joy did not last long after the referee canceled the goal by returning to the video technology, which proved that he was offside the moment the ball was passed to him, so the first half ended with Bayern leading (2-0).

The beginning of the second half did not witness any danger to either goal, despite Bavarian control, until Koeman fired a left-wing shot from outside the penalty area, which went over the crossbar.

Goalkeeper Atopolo prevented Koeman from reaching his net again by blocking a powerful shot on the edge of the penalty area.

By the 72nd minute, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel began pumping new blood into the field by removing Muller and Kane for Musiala and Matisse Till.

Koeman, in turn, continued his creativity on the field and sent a silky pass towards Till, who put it into the net in the style of Sane’s first goal, but the assistant referee pointed with his flag to the presence of the substitute striker offside, so the goal was disallowed.

After a group of beautiful touches, the ball reached Goretzka on the edge of the penalty area, and he fired a shot that hit the hand of the visitors’ goalkeeper before hitting the post.

Koeman refused to end the match without confirming his right to the title of star of the match after he added his second goal and the third goal for his team through an individual effort, as he launched with the ball on the right side inside the penalty area before preparing it for himself by firing a left shot, which settled in the far right corner of the goalkeeper.

Sildilia then crossed from a free kick, heading the ball into the far left corner of Ulrich’s goal, who failed to block it, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

Matthijs Till was close to practicing his favorite hobby of scoring against opponents as soon as he came on as a substitute, by receiving a silky pass after a lightning attack, but the ball got to him as he was on his way to be alone with the goalkeeper.
