Match Awards: Bayern Munich vs. Augsburg

After Bayern Munich’s tough victory over Augsburg FC, who stood out? Let’s see:

Jersey Swap: Kristijan Jakic

The Augsburg midfielder put in an enormous efficiency, operating round and continuously urgent Bayern, fouling, getting fouled, intercepting passes and proving to be a ache to Bayern. Although, after all, the principle motive he will get the award is the aim and help he offered as Augsburg in some way managed to almost come again from a 3-0 deficit. There have been questions on how nicely Jakić would adapt to new head coach Sandro Wagner’s calls for for a possession based mostly model of play. Is he actually ok on the ball? A starring efficiency towards Bayern, the place the Bavarians dominated the ball, is not going to assist alleviate these particular issues however placing in these sorts of performances repeatedly will certainly nonetheless make him undroppable.

Der Kaiser: Josip Stanisic

This isn’t supposed t0 be the Croat’s greatest place. He’s a right-back, or a center-back in a pinch. Not a left-back, proper? However his function on the left has seen him hit new heights. As a substitute of enjoying as a normal left-back, Stanišić has been given the liberty of the pitch by Vincent Kompany, who is aware of the Bayern youth academy graduate will use it nicely. This function helped open up RB Leipzig final week however it brought about much more devastation right here. Whether or not it’s underlapping runs, overlapping runs, drifting into midfield and even making runs into the No. 10 function, Augsburg had no concept learn how to cope with Bayern’s makeshift left again and it tore open holes that Bayern’s offense might exploit. He light within the second half as Augsburg attacked extra and in flip compelled Stanišić to defend extra, however the harm had already been performed.

The soccer god: Serge Gnabry

None of Bayern’s midfielders actually shined. Leon Goretzka did little of notice and gave up on marking anyone for the primary aim, Aleksandar Pavlović got here in solely to ship an error inclined efficiency and Kimmich didn’t fairly hit his stratospherically excessive requirements. So, whereas Serge Gnabry could solely barely qualify as a midfielder, he will get the award. The makeshift attacking midfielder is clearly a confidence participant and is at present in a wealthy vein of type. After dismantling RB Leipzig final weekend, he shrugged off being benched for the midweek DFB Pokal match and saved on enjoying nicely. Clearly, he scored the opening aim however he tracked again nicely, demonstrated some clever motion and facilitated lots of attacking play. Germany nationwide crew supervisor Julian Nagelsmann lately spoke of how Gnabry has grow to be extra of a central ahead slightly than a large ahead and this early type is definitely proving him proper.

There bombs: Michael Olise

Michael Olise has definitely performed higher previously. He missed some sitters, he performed some poor passes, he collected a foolish yellow and he ought to have completed off the sport with a straightforward 1-on-1 probability he hit straight on the goalkeeper after Augbsurg had simply scored their second aim. Concurrently, he had some sometimes sensible moments as nicely. He created some huge possibilities by way of some sometimes implausible passes, scored the match winner with an extremely medical end and ran his socks off for the crew. All in all, it was a very good efficiency.

Meister of the Match: Harry Kane

Who else might or not it’s? Each time Harry Kane touched the ball, there was the prospect one thing particular would occur. On his one centesimal look for the Bavarians, the England captain could not have scored a aim however he ran the sport. The primary aim owed all the pieces to his peach of a cross, he claimed an help for the third aim and he pinged one unbelievable cross after one other all recreation. Kane is and stays a completely world class participant.

Amid the entire switch craziness surrounding Bayern Munich’s work with Chelsea over a mortgage deal for Nicolas Jackson, there was an precise recreation to be performed — and Bayern Munich was as much as the duty even when a gradual begin and a midgame lack of focus may need given Die Fuggerstädter some hope.
