Overview
- Bayern opened with four wins and a league‑record 18 goals across the first four matches, conceding only three.
- A second goal came from a penalty for handball on Albian Hajdari that drew controversy as referee Robert Hartmann awarded it without a VAR review.
- Vincent Kompany changed five starters, with 17‑year‑old Lennart Karl making his first Bundesliga start and supplying the corner for the opener.
- Min‑jae Kim was substituted in the 69th minute with a knock, creating a fresh fitness question for a defense already missing long‑term absentees.
- Loan forward Nicolas Jackson struggled to influence his first Bayern start as his agent suggested a possible €65 million permanent move if he impresses this season.
