Musiala scores again as Bayern beat Wolfsburg

Nineteen-year-old Bayern forward Jamal Musiala continued his blistering early season form, scoring again as Munich beat Wolfsburg 2-0 on Sunday. Musiala, who declared himself eligible for Germany in 2021 despite playing for England as a junior, now has four goals in three competitive matches to start the season.##NAJAVA_MECA_6563994##The 2-0 scoreline flattered Wolfsburg, with Munich going close to scoring on several occasions. Senegalese striker Sadio Mane had two goals stuck off for offside. Sadio Mané sent chocolates, a portrait of himself and a handwritten card to 150 Liverpool employees to say thank you after his six years with the club, according to @cfbayern ❤️ pic.twitter.com/dmGc4zLOpd— B/R Football (@brfootball) August 14, 2022 Wolfsburg roared out of the blocks and almost forced a Bayern own goal when Canadian Alfonso Davies hit the post from an attempted clearance. The home side gradually grew into the ascendency and Mane looked to have put Bayern 1-0 up in the 19th minute when he latched onto a bullet pass from Serge Gnabry to convert from one metre out, but VAR ruled the goal out for offside. Jamal Musiala shows off the strength before netting this goal.💪(🎥:@ESPNFC) pic.twitter.com/bbRmK696TN— theScore (@theScore) August 14, 2022 Bayern then turned up the heat on the visitors, going close several times before Musiala got his team’s first, guiding a strike past keeper Koen Casteels from the edge of the penalty area despite losing his footing just seconds before. The goal was Musiala’s 14th in the top grade, seeing him overtake Bayern legend and former club president Uli Hoeness as the teenager with the most goals in Bayern colours. Thomas Mueller then scored a trademark goal in the 44th minute, sticking a skinny leg out to deflect a shot from Joshua Kimmich into the back of the net. HT – #FCBWOBThe champions lead 2-0 thanks to goals from Musiala and Thomas Muller, all smiles in Bavaria. #MD2 | #Bundesliga pic.twitter.com/RQz85OAFbc— Bundesliga English (@Bundesliga_EN) August 14, 2022 Mane went close again in the 69th minute, but dragged a diving header just wide. The Senegalese got the ball across the line just two minutes later, but had it chalked off for offside. The result continued a poor run of form for Wolfsburg in the Bavarian capital. The Wolves have now lost 24 and drawn two from 26 games in Munich, with no Bundesliga side having played so many away games against an opponent without a single victory. © Agence France-Presse
