Pyrrhic victory as it can be – Bayern took 3 points, but lost Musiala

Bayern managed to complete a comeback and secure a win in a tough away match, but lost a key piece of the team ahead of the Champions League quarter-finals – Jamal Musiala.That Augsburg would be a tough nut to crack for Bayern Munich was clear even before the match began. The hosts hadn’t lost a game in over two months, so Bayern had to give their all to break through Augsburg’s defense. However, the Munich side didn’t seem to be trying too hard at the start.Until the 19th minute, there were no real chances from either side. Then, in the 19th minute, Leroy Sane fired a shot on goal but sent the ball just wide of the left post. Sane had another good chance in the 26th minute, but this time he shot well over the bar. Augsburg wasn’t without a response either. Between those two Sane attempts, Augsburg created a chance through Essende, whose shot narrowly missed the left post of Bayern’s goal.DIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! TOOOOOOOOR! 1:0!!!!!!30′ | 1:0 | #FCAFCB pic.twitter.com/zMJgnFcb96— FC Augsburg (@FCAugsburg) April 4, 2025 That courage Augsburg showed from the start paid off in the 30th minute. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw delivered a great free-kick cross that Dimitrios Giannoulis met and struck accurately from close range. The ball went in off the crossbar. You can see the goal HERE! Realizing that anything less than a win could allow Bayer Leverkusen to close the gap in the standings, the visiting team began to press forward. That pressure paid off. In the 42nd minute, Sane made a great cross from the left side to Jamal Musiala, who held off the defense well and then fired the ball into the net, bringing Bayern level at just the right moment. There is the GOAL!MUSIALAAAAAAA!!!!! WE’RE BACK LEVEL!!!⚪ 42′ #FCAFCB 1-1 🔴 pic.twitter.com/xVDisLZ5Po— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) April 4, 2025 Unlike the first half, the second half started much more eventfully. In the 50th minute, Joao Palhinha had a good chance for Bayern, but his shot was off target and went over the crossbar. Just moments later, in the 52nd minute, Essende had a solid opportunity for the home side, but Bayern’s goalkeeper managed to save it.Right after that, Bayern hit the crossbar, but then came a major blow for Vincent Kompany’s team. Jamal Musiala went down with an injury and had to be substituted by Thomas Muller. This could be a significant setback for the German side ahead of the Champions League quarter-finals.Bayern’s job was made easier when Zesiger brought down Harry Kane from behind, earning a second yellow and a subsequent red card. The visitors immediately capitalized on the advantage—in the same attacking play, after a great combination between Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise, the ball reached Harry Kane, who easily beat the Augsburg keeper with a header. There is the GOAL!YEEEEESSSS HARRY!!!!⚪ 60′ #FCAFCB 1-2 🔴 pic.twitter.com/fqyrJv0pIB— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) April 4, 2025 LEROY SANÉ’S GOAL!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/v71CoWhySE— Bayern & Football (@MunichFanpage) April 4, 2025 After that, Bayern focused on ball control and possession, circulating the ball without creating any major chances. As the final touch on the game, Leroy Sane managed to score a goal from the left angle. In the end, the goal was marked in the stats as the own goal of Matsima.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 28FridayAugsburg – Bayern 1-3 (1-1)/Giannoulis 30 – Musiala 42, Kane 60, Matsima 90+3 (og)/Saturday16:30: (3.30) Bochum (3.50) Stuttgart (2.15)16:30: (3.20) Freiburg (3.40) Dortmund (2.25)16:30: (7.00) Heidenheim (4.50) Leverkusen (1.45)16:30: (1.50) Mainz (4.30) Holstein Kiel (6.50)16:30: (1.55) RB Leipzig (4.50) Hoffenheim (5.50)19:30: (2.70) Werder (3.40) Eintr.Frankfurt (2.55)Sunday16:30: (2.55) St.Pauli (3.35) M’ gladbach (2.75)18:30: (2.45) Union Berlin (3.30) Wolfsburg (2.95)***odds are subject to change***
