It came as a shock that Bayern scored none and conceded five on Wednesday evening. Borussia M’gladbach embarrassed the reigning Bundesliga title holders as part of German Cup. Headlines all across the footballing world were feeling sorry for the team that awaits Bayern next. And rightfully so – Bayern thrashed Union Berlin 2-5 to heal the DFB Pokal wounds.It did not take long for the Bavarians to start terrorizing the goal of Andreas Luthe. In the 8th minute, Leroy Sane tried with a powerful shot but the ball flew just wide of the right post.Seven minutes later, a penalty was awarded for the table-toppers. Robert Lewandowski stepped up to take the shot from the spot and left Luthe helpless with a low shot inside the left post.Tak Robert Lewandowski strzelił dwa kolejne gole w Bundeslidze! Druga bramka? Cudo! #domBundesligi pic.twitter.com/cgD6aiomRM— Viaplay Sport Polska (@viaplaysportpl) October 30, 2021 One of the favourites for the Ballon d’Or showed class again in the 23rd minute. The incredible Pole scored from an edge-of-the-box free-kick. Bayern have scored 36 goals in their first 10 Bundesliga matches this season, more than any other team in their opening 10 matches of a campaign in Bundesliga history.It was a one-sided first half and such turn of events was expected. Soon after, it was three-nil in the German capital. Thomas Muller cleverly redirected Kingsley Coman’s cross and the ball ended up at the feet of Sane. The German winger reacted with a quick shot and sent the ball inside the left post. Luthe had no chance.Everyone at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei expected either another goal from the visitors or for the first half to end with the result that was on the scoreboard but a massive surprise came just before the half-time whistle. Genki Haraguchi sent a cross into the box and found Niko Giesselmann, who sent the ball inside the right post.Second half showed a more competitive Union. They had a substantial chance in the 57th minute via Sheraldo Becker and even scored in the 65th minute courtesy of Julian Ryerson. However, Union’s goal was preceded by a Coman rocket which was his team’s fourth of the day.Bayern are business as usual, but Dortmund are in their rear-view mirror 👀 pic.twitter.com/I2G30UX4Aa— International Champions Cup (@IntChampionsCup) October 30, 2021 Even though Bayern took the foot of the gas pedal and the hosts held the ball a bit more in their feet, Bayern managed to score their fifth. Muller perfectly collected a pass on the edge of the penalty area from Dayot Upamecano, then produced a nice strike into the top right corner.Union fans pay tribute to their team (and vice versa) after a gallant performance against Bayern, which had to rely on counterattacks to win 5-2 and end Union’s proud 21-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga. #Eisern pic.twitter.com/TPta7v8pyq— Ciarán Fahey (@cfaheyAP) October 30, 2021 Bavarians could have scored their sixth in the 85th minute – Joshua Kimmich was the first to arrive to a rebound inside the penalty area and unleashed a quick strike towards the middle of the target that went behind Luthe. One of the defenders, however, made a goal-line clearance.The Bundesliga table shows more excitement that one might think – with this win Bayern are at the summit with 25 points however Dortmund are only one point behind after defeating Koln.
