Overview
- Bayern opened the Bundesliga with five wins from five and a 22:3 goal difference, with Vincent Kompany insisting his side can still improve.
- Before the corner for Bayern’s opener, Michael Olise pushed Felix Agu without sanction; because a new phase began with the corner, VAR could not review the incident, prompting complaints from Marco Friedl and coach Horst Steffen.
- Friedl also questioned the penalty Harry Kane won before halftime, though TV analysis called the decision clear, and Werder accepted the defeat as deserved.
- Kane scored twice to hit 100 goals in 104 Bayern games and said his focus is on the club, noting there have been no extension talks yet but leaving the door open to discuss one.
- Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen won 2:1 at St. Pauli with Ernest Poku scoring 110 seconds after coming on, MSV Duisburg came from behind to beat Ingolstadt 2:1 in the 3. Liga, Eintracht Frankfurt signaled Ellyes Skhiri is a starter candidate and plans to use Mario Götze at Gladbach, and Rudi Völler will receive the ‘Legende des Sports’ honor on November 8.
