But then came the final stage. And a Bavarian ONSLAUGHT after Kimmich and Olise were brought on.

There was a SHOW from the Frenchman, another goal from Kane, and the 16th victory in 18 games after the 5-1 away win.

They remain the only unbeaten team among the top five European leagues.

And are calmly on their way to winning the Bundesliga once again.

They had already beaten Leipzig 6-0 in the first round. And once again punished The Red Bulls.

Check out the highlights of the game below. 


Leipzig deserving in the 1st Half

Bayern had more possession. But they couldn't create many great scoring chances.

It was up to the organized and competent Leipzig to score with Rômulo after a cross from Raum (20').

Sixth goal for the former Athletico striker in the Bundesliga

Kompany left Olise and Kimmich on the bench, which impacted the lackluster performance of his team.


Bayern's Comeback and Rout

Bayern started well, pressing.

And took advantage of Baumgartner's mistake to equalize at 50'.

Another error would be fatal for Leipzig.

Olise was also brought on and provided the assist for Kane to score his 32nd goal of the season with Bayern.

A goal that was "facilitated" by Baku's slip.

Neuer had already denied Rômulo and later frustrated Diamondé. He also made a difference. 

More solid, Bayern began to dominate.

Tah scored the third after a corner (83') taken by Olise.

Kane, the number 9 who plays in various positions, started the great play for Olise to set up Pavlovic nicely (85'). 

There was still time for the much-anticipated return of Musiala, who was recovering from an injury and debuted in 2025/2026.

And he assisted Olise, the scorer of the fifth goal (88'). 

Three assists and one goal from the number 17 coming off the bench at 57'. 

Bayern continues to dominate.

To the despair of their rivals.
