When Bayern celebrated double packers Leroy Sané for the home win over St. Pauli, a new injury was clouded by the mood for Munich. Defense player Hiroki Ito had to get off the field shortly before the end and threatens to fall out in the decisive games in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. “He felt it in the same foot where he had problems in the season before,” said coach Vincent Kompany and recalled the midfoot break in the Japanese. The coach sounded much more disappointed than a 3-2 home win actually expected.
Thanks to Sané’s two goals and the end of Harry Kane’s mini-doldrums, FC Bayern had scored a threesome in the master fight after two games without victory. The six-point lead over Leverkusen was defended against Pauli mainly because of an increase in performance after the break.
“Of course these were important three points,” said sports director Christoph Freund and spoke of a “deserved victory”. Matchwinner Sané said: “After an international break, that was very good overall.” The pursuer and Bundesliga defender Bayer Leverkusen had won 3-1 against VfL Bochum the evening before and increased the pressure on Bavaria.

St. Pauli is doing well for a long time
But the Munich stood that – also because Harry Kane finished his Bundesliga urban route after 340 minutes and brought Bavaria to the lead in the 17th minute. “We are very happy about the three points, that was the most important thing today,” said the English national team captain.

The relegation -threatened climber made Bavaria more difficult than expected at least before the break with an initially brave appearance. The northern Germans came through Elias Saad to sudden compensation (27th).
In the second half, Sané came into focus with his fourth league double pack for Bayern (53./71.). Pauli’s resistance came late, Lars Ritzka scored 2: 3 in added time. The Munich team was only too tenth because ito had to go down and Kompany could no longer change.
“It is difficult to say what he has exactly,” said the coach shortly after the final whistle. “He will be examined now and then we will continue to see. It’s not good for us.” Ito himself left the stadium without comment and slightly limping.
Kane gate is missing in its collection
“The late goal and the injury to ITO are of course annoying,” said Kane. After two goals for the English national team of coach Thomas Tuchel, he had previously booked his 22nd Seasoning Sontor in the Bundesliga at the preparatory work of Michael Olise. Kane hit Pauli for the first time – that was the only missing opponent in his league collection.
In defense, the company ensemble was repeatedly susceptible to the serious failures of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano in the first round. A long -term end of ito would further tighten the situation.
Olise shines as a preparer
Especially since the Munich defensive was sometimes susceptible. When Saad equalized with his third Saisontor, Manoli’s Saliacas on the Davies wing got a lot of space to flank – and Saad in front of the goal to use more space against Jonas Urbig. Urbig was once again a replacement of the captain Manuel Neuer injured on the calf.
Neuer had not yet taken a seat in his shell seat after the break, when the ball fidgeted again in the Hanseatic gate goal. Again, Olise earned an assist, this time with a successful risk pass on Sané.
A week and a half before the quarter-final first leg in the Champions League against Inter Milan, Neuer was happy in the stands on gate number two from Sané. Olise initiated the goal on Kane, who was put on for Sané. The winger set a personal record with his ninth goal in a Bundesliga season.
