The first stumble for Kompany. Bayern failed to defeat Bayer for the fourth consecutive match
In the fifth round of the German Bundesliga, Bayern Munich hosted Bayer Leverkusen. This highly anticipated match failed to satisfy fans with its lack of goals, as the game ended in a draw.
Kompany's side enjoyed home advantage and were much closer to victory. In the middle of the first half, a brilliant shot from Andrich put the visitors ahead, but they didn't celebrate for long. Aleksandar Pavlović scored an incredibly beautiful goal before halftime, restoring parity.
After the break, Bayern continued to apply pressure, but their players' shots rarely found the target. In goal, Gradić was solid, ensuring a draw for his team along with the defenders.
Bayern Munich — Bayer Leverkusen — 1:1
Goals: Pavlović 39' — Andrich 31'.
Interestingly, this was Bayern's first match without a win under Vincent Kompany. Nevertheless, the Munich team remains at the top of the league table after five rounds. Notably, the "Rekordmeister" has been unable to defeat Bayer in four consecutive matches. Their last victory was in September 2022 when they won 4-0 at home.
