Overview
- Bayern thrashed Wolfsburg 8:1 as Michael Olise scored twice and assisted, Harry Kane netted his 20th league goal, and two Wolfsburg own goals compounded the rout.
- The result extends Bayern’s long dominance over Wolfsburg in Munich and stands as the Wolves’ heaviest Bundesliga defeat on record.
- Borussia Dortmund’s 3:3 at Eintracht Frankfurt earlier in the weekend left the door open for Bayern to stretch their advantage to eleven points.
- Saturday’s schedule was trimmed after weather postponements in Bremen (Werder vs. Hoffenheim) and Hamburg (St. Pauli vs. RB Leipzig), leaving only three afternoon matches.
- Elsewhere, Freiburg beat HSV 2:1 after a red card and an 83rd-minute winner, Mainz let a 2:0 lead slip to draw 2:2 at Union in Urs Fischer’s return, Heidenheim and Köln drew 2:2 highlighted by Marvin Pieringer’s acrobatic strike, and Stuttgart routed Leverkusen 4:1 to draw level on points.
