The first half ended with Munich winning 0-4. The result was indeed extraordinary and there is still a big possibility that they will add to their goals in the second half. Munich dominated the match, even Holstein Kiel players did not hold the ball much. They did not have the opportunity to develop the game.
Maybe Vincent Kompany will rest some players in the second half to save their energy before facing Dinamo Zagreb in the first match of the Champions League.
What a great first half performance from Bayern Munich; this is exactly what the team lacked last season which made them less competitive, they were not having such good wins even against average team, and they also failed to win the big teams which is the main reason why Leverkusen took the glory last season, but this season, Vincent Kompany is here to shape the team into a winning team that will always be difficult to defeat that is why he make sure he have a complete squad before the beginning of the season. This season, there is no doubt about Bayern taking back their monopoly because I don’t see Leverkusen as a competitive team this season same as Dortmund.
Bayer Leverkusen's loss to RB Leipzig came as a surprise to me. The Xabi Alonso side didn't let their main players leave last season so the team was in good shape. But Marco Rose's side showed class, and we're able to end the host's unbeaten run in the Bundesliga.
The defeat was shocking bested on Leverkusen’s last season performance, but if we check records, we will know that RB Leipzig is not also a small team, the team has been in Bundesliga for long and they are also defeating Leverkusen, it was just last season that Leverkusen was able to defeat them. If you tally their statistics against each others in their last six matches, it is an equal result, three wins for each of the team; therefore, with the way Leverkusen were playing draw towards the end of last season, and for the team not to add any player, I know it will be difficult for them to maintain their performance.
But we saw the stuff the defending Champion is made made of against Hoffenheim. Victor Boniface was the hero of the game. Victor has been heavily criticised in Nigeria for his failure to score after starting games in the African Cup of Nations qualifies. But he has proved his worth by grabbing a brace and providing an assist.
A good win for Leverkusen and a great performance from Victor Boniface even though he wasn’t able to perform well in the AFCON qualifiers he played for Nigeria. Champions League is around, I hope Alonso will be able to survive it because they don’t have enough squad depth.
