Bayern Munich delivered an impressive performance in the first half, defeating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at the Allianz Arena. Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the 25th minute. Nicolas Jackson then netted
his first Bundesliga goal, and Loic Bade accidentally scored an own goal before halftime. This victory extended Bayern's flawless start to the season.
Initially, Leverkusen showed resilience in defence, but Bayern capitalised on a counterattack. Tom Bischof set up Gnabry, who cut inside and scored past Flekken with a low shot. Just six minutes later, Jackson increased their lead by heading Konrad Laimer's cross into the net from close range.
Before halftime, Lennart Karl nearly added another with a curling shot reminiscent of his goal against Borussia Monchengladbach. Bayern secured their third goal when Loic Bade inadvertently deflected Raphael Guerreiro's cross into his own net.
Despite easing off in the second half, Vincent Kompany's team maintained control. Leverkusen failed to create any clear chances, resulting in their first league loss under Kasper Hjulmand. This defeat marked the end of Leverkusen's remarkable 37-game unbeaten away streak.
