What a nail-biter! 😱 Bayern Munich pulled off a dramatic 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg on Sunday, thanks to a late strike from Serge Gnabry. This win not only bagged them three crucial points in the Bundesliga but also gave their new coach, Vincent Kompany, a dream start! 🎉
Despite playing away, Wolfsburg hit the ground running, pressuring Bayern's defense early on. But the visitors quickly found their rhythm. French sensation Sacha Boey dazzled down the right wing, setting up Jamal Musiala for a simple tap-in to open the scoring. 🏃♂️💨⚽️
The second half kicked off with a twist! Bayern conceded a penalty after Tiago Tomas was fouled by Boey. Lovro Majer stepped up and coolly converted from the spot, leveling the game. 😬👉⚽️
Wolfsburg didn’t stop there. In the 55th minute, Patrick Wimmer found Majer again, who slotted home his second goal, putting the hosts ahead 2-1. Bayern fans were left biting their nails! 😬🦷
But the drama was far from over. An own goal by Wolfsburg's Jakub Kaminski brought Bayern back into the game. With momentum on their side, Bayern pushed forward. In the 82nd minute, Harry Kane linked up with Gnabry, who fired a shot into the corner of the net, sealing the win for Bayern! 🔥⚽️
"We are very happy and are happy to take it. It's good for morale and self-confidence," Gnabry shared after the match. "It was a very exhausting Sunday afternoon. The equalizer straight after halftime knocked our socks off a bit. Then we were down 2-1, which made it even more difficult. But at the end of the day, we were rewarded and won 3-2." 💪❤️
New signings Harry Kane and Michael Olise were electric on the pitch, creating numerous chances. However, Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Kamil Grabara was in top form, making several brilliant saves to keep them at bay. 🧤✨
