- Leroy Sané struck a first‑half brace after recent scrutiny of his form, strengthening his case for a World Cup role on the wing.
- Oliver Baumann recorded another clean sheet, with Julian Nagelsmann praising his form while keeping the World Cup goalkeeper decision open as Marc‑André ter Stegen works back from injury.
- Joshua Kimmich and Nico Schlotterbeck returned to the lineup, Florian Wirtz orchestrated in midfield, and late goals from Ridle Baku and debutant Assan Ouedraogo completed the win.
