Bundesliga sees quickfire scoring record as Bayern puts five past dismal Leipzig

Sunday, 22 December 2024 | AP | Munich

ayern Munich crushed Leipzig 5-1 and they broke a long-standing Bundesliga record for quickfire goals.

 Two teams had never scored in the opening two minutes of a Bundesliga match until Jamal Musiala gave Bayern the lead after 28 seconds and Benjamin Šeško equalised barely 60 seconds later on Friday.  The pace slowed after that frenetic start but not for long. Konrad Laimer put Bayern ahead against his old club in the 25th. Michael Olise found space on the right side and Laimer gave Péter Gulácsi no chance with a crisp volley.

 Nine minutes later, Joshua Kimmich lashed home from almost 30 meters to make it 3-1.

 Leroy Sané added the fourth with 15 minutes remaining and Alphonso Davies got his first league goal of the season to complete the rout three minutes later.

 Harry Kane returned and looked rusty after missing two games with a hamstring injury but played 87 minutes of a match that helped Bayern get back on track after a rocky run.

 After winning eight games in a row from late October to late November, the Bavarian giant lost two and drew one of its next five, including a 2-1 defeat to Mainz last week, its first loss in the Bundesliga.

 Friday's result bumped its lead over titleholder Bayer Leverkusen to seven points.
