I didn't watch the first half but I guess the goal post made more saves than Ulreich

What a sensational and dramatic match! After Süle received the red card, Nico used his intelligence making several brilliant moves, which include substitute Ribery for Boateng. In the second half, the appearance of Lewy and Coman really turned the table over, and end up leading to this triumph. Three changes, three intelligent moves made by Nico. Though we got a red card at the beginning of the match, to some degrees it provided us with this visual and mental feast, which made this match really worth watching.🔴

I think it was bad result....I know we won it having a man down...but conceding 4 goals from 2nd. division team at the great allianz arena is disappointing......Then Facing Borrusia Dortmund will be really really difficult task....seeing Bayern's Current Results first the draw and now the lucky win......
