Bayern one point from top

Bayern Munich climbed to within one point off Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin after a comfortable 2-0 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday. 

Bayern took the lead in the 17th minute when 19-year-old Jamal Musiala sidefooted in a corner from Joshua Kimmich while unmarked at the far post.

Bayern striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting then doubled the visitors’ lead after 38 minutes, racking up his fourth goal in three games.

Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, who returned to the site of his coaching debut, credited the maturity of his players. 

“I’m very happy with the performance - we could have had five goals in the first 35 minutes,” Nagelsmann told SID. “It was a very confident and grown-up performance.” – AFP
