Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in Leverkusen in the third minute, but things really started to go fast from the half hour. Within seven minutes Lewandowski scored again, Thomas Müller and then Serge Gnabry twice for Der Rekordmeister. After 37 minutes it was already 0-5. In 958 away games in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich have never had a five-goal lead in an away game. It was the first time in 1440 Bundesliga games that Bayer Leverkusen were five goals behind at halftime.
Bayern failed to score in the second half, but the home side still did. Ten minutes after the break, Czech striker Patrick Schick signed for the final score of 1-5. The Dutch backs Jeremie Frimpong (64 minutes) and Mitchel Bakker (entire match) participated in the home team. Daley Sinkgraven remained on the bench.
Bayern Munich leads the Bundesliga with 19 points after eight matches and a goal difference of 29-8. The lead over Borussia Dortmund, which won 3-1 against Mainz yesterday, is one point. Bayer Leverkusen is third in the German league with 16 points, just like SC Freiburg.
