Kompany brought Bayern Munich back to the top of the Bundesliga last season, and this season he wants to win even more trophies.
Bayern won the Telekom Cup before the Bundesliga started, beating Tottenham 4-0. They then won the German Super Cup final against Stuttgart 2-1, adding another title to their collection.
Bayern played Wehen Wiesbaden, a team from the third division, in the first round of the German Cup.
Bayern have been playing quite well this season. They began their Bundesliga season last weekend with a resounding 6-0 win over RB Leipzig, sending a powerful message for the new season.
Bayern’s First Team
Kompany changed his lineup since there was a significant difference in strength. Ulreich was the starting goalkeeper in the 4-2-3-1 system. Boey, Jonathan Tah, Kim Min-jae, and Guerreiro made up the backline.
Kimmich and Pavlović played together in the middle of the field, and Olise, Choupo-Moting, and Díaz helped Harry Kane score goals up front.
Bayern Scores First
Bayern started the game by putting a lot of pressure on Wiesbaden’s defence. In the third minute, Díaz, a new player, broke into the box and shot, but the goalie stopped it.
Seven minutes later, Bayern requested a handball in the box, but the referee instructed them to keep playing.
A foul by Wiesbaden in the penalty area in the 15th minute gave Bayern a penalty kick. Kane comfortably scored to make it 1-0 for Bayern.
Díaz came near again in the 27th minute, but his shot from close range was stopped. Five minutes later, Guerreiro’s shot from behind the goal forced a great save from the Wiesbaden goalie.
Drama In The Second Half
In the 51st minute, just six minutes after the restart, Wiesbaden made a defensive mistake that allowed Olise to score and make it 2-0. Five minutes later, Kane set up Guerreiro’s goal, but it was called out for being offside.
Wiesbaden Fights Back
Kaya scored a low goal in the 64th minute, making the score 2-1. Flotho ran onto a headed pass six minutes later and scored a clean goal to tie the game at 2-2.
Kane the Hero
Bayern got another penalty when Kane was fouled in the box in the 74th minute. The keeper, on the other hand, saved his spot-kick. Then, in the 94th minute of stoppage time, Kane made up for his mistake by heading in from a cross to give Bayern a thrilling 3-2 win.
This win not only keeps Bayern in the German Cup, but it also gives them more confidence and momentum going into the new season.
