The early lead through Thomas Müller (4. Minute) was in the blink of an eye thanks to an own goal from David Alaba (7.) again, a thing of the past, but in the middle of the first half, the Bayern münzten their ever-increasing domination within ten minutes into a game a decisive lead, with goals from Ivan Perisic (22.), Serge Gnabry (28.) and once again, Thomas Müller (31.).
