FC Bayern secures another three points on Matchday 3 of the Bundesliga. Against Hamburger SV, coach Vincent Kompany’s team celebrates a resounding 5-0 victory. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside player ratings.
Manuel Neuer: Had to defuse a shot from Mikelbrencis at close range in the first half, but it was too weak and poorly placed. Otherwise, not much to do for Neuer. Rating: 3.
Konrad Laimer: Collected a scorer point with his assist for Gnabry’s 1-0. Was also involved before Pavlovic’s 2-0. Laimer played very dynamically overall and repeatedly caused danger with his advances down the right side. After Diaz was substituted, the all-rounder even took over his position on the left attacking side for the last quarter of an hour. Strong performance! Rating: 2.
Dayot Upamecano: Was aggressive and strong in challenges until his substitution at halftime. However, Upamecano was not really challenged by the barely existent HSV attack. Rating: 3.
Jonathan Tah: Very composed, also in the build-up. Like the rest of Bayern’s defense, he did not have a tough day against the weak Hamburg side. But a solid performance from Tah. Rating: 3.
Josip Stanisic: Was very secure on the ball on the left side of defense in the first half and occasionally pushed forward. In the second half, after Upamecano’s substitution, he moved from left-back to central defense. Stopped one of HSV’s few dangerous advances with a strong tackle. Rating: 3.
Joshua Kimmich: Did his job in central midfield responsibly, but didn’t really shine. Solid game. Rating: 3.
Aleksandar Pavlovic: Before his goal to make it 2-0, the HSV defense was completely overwhelmed. After a nice combination involving Laimer and Kane, Pavlovic, who was preferred over Goretzka, finished the move. The Bayern academy product was very active and – still wearing a mask after his facial injury – repeatedly drove Munich’s attacking play. Good performance from Pavlovic. Rating: 2.
IMAGO
Michael Olise: Fired a shot from the edge of the box in the first half, which Heuer Fernandes managed to parry with difficulty. Olise recorded the assist for Kane’s 5-0, but otherwise did not get involved in dangerous attacking actions. Others provided the highlights this time. Rating: 3.
Serge Gnabry: Put Bayern ahead with his classy goal to make it 1-0. Gnabry nutmegged Muheim and then smashed the ball into the top corner. Tried again with a long-range shot, but sent it well over. Until his substitution at halftime, Gnabry was very agile and tried a lot. Good game! Rating: 2.
Luis Diaz: Once dribbled well through in the first half and got a shot off from a tight angle, but Heuer Fernandes in the HSV goal was able to save. His deflected shot for the 4-0 found the net. Diaz narrowly missed again with a powerful shot into the side netting. Solid performance from Diaz. Rating: 3.
Harry Kane: Set up Pavlovic’s 2-0. Then showed with his penalty after a VAR decision that he remains reliable from the spot – even though he missed recently in the cup at Wiesbaden. Kane’s goal to make it 5-0 was top class. Another brace for the goal-getter. Rating: 1.
IMAGO
Substitutes:
Raphael Guerreiro (46’ for Upamecano): Was only on the pitch for 19 minutes, then had to come off injured. Played too little for a rating.
Nicolas Jackson (46’ for Gnabry): Was denied by Heuer Fernandes with a close-range shot. Already combined quite well with his new teammates, but otherwise did not pose further danger. Rating: 3.
IMAGO
Tom Bischof (64’ for Guerreiro): Sent a free kick well over the goal. Spent most of his time on an unfamiliar position as left-back. Made no mistakes. Rating: 3.
Lennart Karl (64’ for Kane): Shortly after coming on, unleashed a dangerous long-range shot that Hamburg’s goalkeeper Heuer Fernandes could only keep out with a brilliant save. Then the youngster shot well over the HSV goal. Karl showed mobility and effort, but couldn’t reward himself. Rating: 3.
Sacha Boey (76’ for Diaz): Came on too late for a rating.
Here you can give your own ratings to the Bayern stars for the match against Hamburger SV:
This is how the player rating tool “RankIt” works on FCBinside: After every FC Bayern match, fans can rate every player who played at least 15 minutes. The rating scale ranges from 1 to 6. A rating of 1 stands for a very good performance, while a rating of 6 means an insufficient performance – just like on a school report card.
