[골닷컴] Reporter Kim Hyun-min = Bayern Munich won 1-0 in the match against Augsburg and scored a zero goal in the Bundesliga after 12 games. Along with this, Bayern’s living legend Manuel Neuer finally reached the Bundesliga record with no losses in the most matches.

Bayern won a 1-0 victory over Augsburg at the WWK Arena in the Bundesliga round 17 in the 2020/21 season. In addition, Bayern succeeded in maintaining first place in the Bundesliga with 12 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, and 39 points.

Bayern came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation as always in this match. Robert Lewandowski came forward as the one-top striker, and Kingsley Komang and Sergi Gnavri stood on the left and right, centering on Thomas Muller, forming a second-line offensive line. Joshua Kimmihi and Leon Goretzka built a double volante, while Luca Hernandez and Benjamin Pavar were responsible for the left and right defense.

Bayern starter lineup vs Augsburg

The first half took place in Bavaria’s absolute dominance. In fact, Bayern outperformed their opponents with 64 to 36 in their first half share, and above all, 12 to 0 in their shooting numbers. In the process, Bayern took the lead early in the 12th minute, with Lewandowski calmly succeeding in a penalty kick taken by Luka.

Bayern went on a wave of offense afterwards, but Gnabri’s shots in the 22nd and 37th minutes were blocked by the opponent’s goalkeeper. Around the 42nd minute, there was a regret that Lewandowski’s shot hit the target. The first half ended with Bayern’s 1-0 lead.

However, in the second half, a scene where the appearance of the game changed 180 degrees was directed. At the start of the second half, Augsburg, who subtracted Rani Kedira, who committed a penalty-kicking foul, and Tobias Strobe, outperformed Bayern 9-1 in the number of shots in the second half. Bayern’s shot was the only medium-range shot that Goretzka tried from a long distance in the 25th minute of the second half.

Bayern had to rush into this season without a break from playing the Champions League last season. In addition, he achieved treble (Champions League, Bundesliga, DFB Focal Three Crowns), so he had to go through a tight schedule with the UEFA Super Cup against Seville and the DFL Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund. Even on January 13th, while other Bundesliga teams took a break, they played the second round of DFB Fokal against Holstein Kiel, which was previously postponed, and Bayern, who was eliminated after an extended and penalty shootout in the match.

Perhaps because of this aftermath, Bayern exposed the problem of a sharp drop in stamina in the second half. In addition, Bayern coach Hans-Dieter Flick threw Kang-su to replace Koranteng Tolisso and Leroy Sane in the 22nd minute of the second half for physical fitness arrangements, excluding Lewandowski and Gnavry. Along with this, Müller was placed forward as’Fake No. 9 (a position term referring to a player who is not an orthodox striker in the front line)’.

On the other hand, in the 27th minute of the second half, Augsburg replaced Marco Richter, Ruben Vargas and Andre Han, and replaced Alfred Finbogasson, Florian Niderlechner, and Frederic Jensen. Afterwards, the match took place amidst Augsburg’s unilateral offensive.

In the process, Augsburg scored a penalty in the 30th minute of the second half when Iago, who started with left wingback, induces a handball foul by Pavar. Augsburg’s penalty kicker was Pinbogason, who scored all nine penalty kicks in his personal career Bundesliga. Finbogason tricked Neuer and took a strong shot to the other side. However, the luck of this shot hitting the post allowed Bayern to escape the concession crisis.

Augsburg, in a hurry, went on a wave of waves, but expressed regret at the end, and the match ended with Bayern’s 1-0 victory.

Bayern has a reputation as a team that uses strong pressure while taking the line high in the Flick manager system. In fact, Bayern’s pressure intensity index last season was No. 1 in the Bundesliga and the five major European leagues (which refers to the 1st to 5th in the UEFA league rankings, which correspond to the first divisions in Spain, England, Germany, Italy and France). Overall, it was in third place.

The problem was that this season, the strength of the pressure fell along with the physical issue, and the goal was to increase dramatically as the space behind the defense was naturally exposed. This allowed Bayern to conceded 11 consecutive games in the Bundesliga for the last time in the fifth round (5-0 wins) against Eintracht Frankfurt. The team’s conceded points were also in the 10th place with 25 runs based on round 16. It was Bayern that could be classified as a Bundesliga mid-ranking team based on the percentage of conceding.

However, in this match against Augsburg, Bayern was somewhat lucky but was able to put an end to the heinous run of concessions by winning with zero goals. Neuer also scored 196 goals in his personal Bundesliga with no goals in the match, and succeeded in achieving the most goals-free tie in history with Bayern’s legendary goalkeeper Oliver Kahn. Considering this, it can be said to be a valuable victory for Bayern, apart from the game content.
