"Luis Diaz narrowly missing inside of the opening two minutes made it seem like it might be a frustrating afternoon for Bayern against a 'Gladbach side that are currently desperate for points, but Die Fohlen ultimately started to lose steam in the second half having been reduced to 10 men in the 19th minute, making life all the more difficult for them. Jens Castrop tackle on Diaz was ruled be worthy of a straight red after VAR after the referee had initially just brandished a yellow."
"Goals from Joshua Kimmich (64'), Raphael Guerreiro (69') and Lennart Karl (81') rounded out the three points for Vincent Kompany's side, who cut an incredibly proud figure in the immediate aftermath of Karl's wonder strike. His presence into the match coincided with Mönchengladbach's energy levels fading, especially once they had to become more open after Kimmich's goal - that just left even more space for Bayern to exploit, paving the way for Guerreiro and Karl to grab their goals."
""We could have scored the opener right at the start. But then it was partly a matter of patience, tiring out the opponent and creating more space. We knew we always had the quality to score. In the second half, the moment finally arrived. It was a deserved win," Eberl explained (via @iMiaSanMia)."
Bayern Munich recorded a 3-0 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach to make it 13 wins from 13 matches across all competitions. Luis Diaz missed an early chance before Jens Castrop received a straight red in the 19th minute after VAR overturned an initial yellow, leaving Gladbach with ten men. Joshua Kimmich scored in the 64th minute, Raphael Guerreiro added a goal in the 69th, and Lennart Karl finished with a wonder strike in the 81st. Bayern's patience and quality exploited the extra space as Mönchengladbach tired, and Max Eberl praised the patience that created the openings.
