Bayern put 4 past Dortmund to top Bundesliga FMTNews FMTSports
MUNICH: Bayern Munich went back to the top of the Bundesliga today, defeating Borussia Dortmund 4-2 at home to give Thomas Tuchel a winning start as coach of the Bavarian giants.
“We need the desire to get better, because we have to get better,” Tuchel said, although he praised his side’s “desire to fight for the ball”.Dortmund came into the match in the unfamiliar position of first place, one point ahead of Bayern, who fired coach Julian Nagelsmann in favour of Tuchel last week.
Muller scored from a corner just five minutes later and pounced when Kobel spilled Leroy Sane’s shot five minutes after that. Unlike earlier in the season when Dortmund came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at home with Bayern, there would be no miracle comeback this time around, with Coman sliding the ball under Kobel early in the second half.
Dortmund will need to regroup after the defeat, their first league loss in 2023, ahead of their German Cup quarterfinal at RB Leipzig on Wednesday. Second-half goals from Sheraldo Becker, Kevin Behrens and an own goal from former Union player Genki Haraguchi took the third-placed side to just two points behind second-placed Dortmund and four from Bayern.Mainz dealt fifth-placed Leipzig’s bid for Champions League football next season a blow, winning 3-0 at the Red Bull Arena.
