Gnabry Wins it Late for Bayern Against Wolfsburg

Gnabry

Gnabry’s 82nd-minute goal gave Vincent Kompany’s side the winner in their first game of the season. Bayern Munich traveled to the Volkswagen Arena to play against a tricky Wolfsburg side in their first game of the 24/25 Bundesliga season. Bayern Munich ended last season’s campaign on a disappointing note. The Bavarians finished third, behind VFB Stuttgart who clinched the second spot. 

The poor finish and many other factors resulted in the sacking of Thomas Tuchel as manager. Bayern Munich ventured into this new season under Vincent Kompany. The Bavarians also made a couple of intriguing signings to enhance their squad. Names like Joao Pahlinha, and Micheal Olise, have been added to the squad. Their first game week under Kompany seemed tricky, but Gnabry came to the rescue.

Bayern Munich visited a tricky Wolfsburg side. However, the Bavarians were the ones that drew the first blood, thanks to Musiala who slotted home a fine cross from Sasha Boey. The visitors could have made two but they lacked the clinical edge. In the second half, it was a different ball game, as Wolfsburg came out with a better response than in the first half. A foul on Tomas gave them a penalty. Lovro Majer wasted no time in restoring parity. The Croatian soon took the lead for Wolfsburg, after a defensive error from Kim Jae.

The Korean lost possession to Wimmer who found Majer, who made two. Bayern Munich had to claw their way back and an own goal from Kaminski helped them secure the parity. In the 82nd minute, a sublime move from Kane helped eventually release Gnabry. The German wasted no time in finding the net to give Bayern back the lead and the eventual winner.

Kompany’s Assessment of the Game

Vincent Kompany spoke his mind about the game saying: “You have a plan before coming into a game. However, the other team will adapt and make changes to disrupt your plan. I was really happy with the first half other than we should maybe have scored 1-2 more goals. It was something we could build on”.

He continued on the second-half flaws displayed by his team: “In the second half, I’ve seen Ralph’s teams for many years, they come out and fight. They score after 20 seconds and then you have to prepare yourself for a battle. At the end of the day, I want to highlight the outstanding mentality of the team. It was a tough away game and a very good win”

Kompany on the Ream’s Mentality

The Belgian spoke about the team’s mentality and Kim Jae’s mistake;

“I enjoyed my first game as Bundesliga coach. We were dominant in the first half and didn’t concede any chances. The start of the second half wasn’t good. We conceded twice, but in the end, the mentality was good and that’s why we won the game. I played football long enough and know that you can lose or draw in such a game. The fact we won shows that the mentality was there, even though not everything was perfect. We have to say that honestly, the mentality of my team was great. I don’t want to talk about Minjae’s mistake, I want to talk about the reaction. And it was good, from everyone”.
