Bayern Munich kept their title hopes alive in a nerve-wracking 3-2 win over St. Pauli, with Leroy Sane netting two crucial second‐half goals. The match had more twists than a binge-worthy series, keeping fans on the edge of their seats!
The drama started early when a defensive lapse allowed Harry Kane to score his first goal against St. Pauli. A mix-up in the back, as Siebe Van der Heyden lost possession, paved the way for Kane to spark the opener and set the tone for an intense showdown.
St. Pauli quickly responded with an equalizer from Elias Saad just before the half-hour mark, intensifying the battle on the pitch. Yet, after the break, Sane unleashed his brilliance again by restoring Bayern’s lead, and later turned in a precise finish off a well-placed cross from Kane.
Even though St. Pauli’s Lars Ritzka squeezed one back in added time and concerns grew with Hiroki Ito leaving injured, Bayern maintained a six-point advantage and their focus on the league title remains strong. ⚽🏆
