In the opening match of the season in the Bundesliga, the champion, Munich Bayern, habitually played, to which the Leverkusen Bayer Heiko Herrlich. Wards Carlo Ancelotti had a horrendous pre-season training, losing most of the matches, but, however, managed to win the German Super Cup, defeating Dortmund Borussia in a series of penalty shoot-outs. "Pharmacists" also held a modest transfer campaign, not having signed a single star player (Sven Bender can not be called such), they also lost two of their leaders - Chicharito and Chalkhanoglu.
In the reporting match Ancelotti still could not count on the services of Manuel Neuer, so that in the frame of the gate his double substitute Ulreich. Robben healed his next damage, but playing from the first minutes is not ready yet. In the center of the field again there was a duet of rookie beginners - Rudy and Tolisso, also David Alaba returned to the squad. Herrlich also used a rather attacking model of the game, releasing just four fast players in the attacking line, as well as regularly joining the attack team defenders Henriks and Wendell.
However, the attacking scheme Herrlich did not make sense, because the home team from the first minutes acted aggressively and scored a quick goal - in the 9th minute, Rudy hung a free-kick on Zul, and Niklas struck his head sent the ball into the net, scoring the first goal of the championship - 1: 0. Already in the return attack, Bayer could equalize, but Ulraikh saved his team by beating Mehmedi's blow.
In the 19th minute, Ancelotti's wards scored the second goal and withdrew all questions regarding the winner of the match - after filing a corner ball flew to Vidal, the Chilean executed a scoop to the goalkeeper area, where Tolisso head forwarded the ball into the goal - 2: 0. Already after five minutes, Korenten could make out a double, but hit the post in the end of an astounding attack "roten". A little later to bring the score to the devastating could Muller, but could not beat Lena with a blow from close range. Closer to the end of the first half in Munich, heavy rain fell and the quality of the game dropped slightly, so the teams went on a break with the previous score.
The beginning of the second half was postponed for as long as 15 minutes because of the same rain, the fate of the match was unknown, but it still continued. After a long rest in the locker room, Bavaria with new powers continued to build up pressure at the gate of Leno and quickly achieved its goal - Lewandowski fell into someone else's penalty area after contacting Arangis, Stirol turned to using a video replay and assigned a penalty, in the 53rd minute the Pole himself approached the ball And confidently realized the 11-meter - 3: 0.
Providing a comfortable account for themselves, Ancelotti's wards dropped to their own poloivnu field, allowing Bayer to regularly strike at the gate Ulrayh. One of them did lead to the goal scored - in the 65th minute Brandt rolled back under Mehmedi's blow, and the Swiss powerfully punched in touch, the ball hit the crossbar and flew into the goal - 3: 1.
Before the end of the match, the hosts could score a few more goals, but the "pharmacists" was saved by the game of Leno or the inaccurate blows of the football players of Bavaria. As a result, the "roten" won a confident victory over Bayer, rehabilitated after the unsuccessful pre-season preparation. On this Bavaria look much nicer.
