halftime observation

• While Bayern aren’t being heavily targeted, the team still looks shaky. It feels like the team as a whole is still lacking. Not disappointingly bad, just meh.

• Set pieces remain Bayern’s Achilles’ heel. Kompany must do something to fix this problem.

40-43′ – Bayern again fails to clear the ball and Stuttgart scores. Luckily for them, there was an offside call somewhere down the line, so after a lengthy VAR check the score was still 0-1.

34′ — Michael Olise’s shot drifts in front of goal but misses.

25 minutes – Both the home and away teams are trying to score. In Stuttgart’s case, it’s an equalizer. For Bayern, another goal can give themselves a buffer.

12’— Scope of responsibilities! Jonas Urbig’s long pass found Konrad Laimer, who controlled it well before shunting it past Michael Olise, who in turn found Laimer who finished with a deft backheel.
