Bayern dismantled Dortmund with 4-2 in the classic he overtook them after 26 games at the top of the Bundesliga and delivered the necessary effort in the title race.

Thomas Tuchel combined his debut in an ideal way, led Bayern to victory without drastically changing Julian Nagelsmann’s plans, but “secured” victory in the 23rd minute when the score was 3-0.

The Bayern coach faced his last team in Germany without Sadio Mane and Joao Cancelo in the starting XI, two players who were delighted at the sacking of their previous coach. For his part, Edin Terzic was delighted with Gregor Kobel’s return to the starting XI, but counted without the hosts.

After a quarter of an hour at a good pace, but without a chance, Bayern started to press and scored well in the 18th minute. Dayot Upamecano took a vertical pass from 60 meters, Kobel tried to clear but caught “air” and the first goal of the Tuchel era was a fact.

Two more followed from Thomas Müller, with whom he “fixed” Bayern’s victory very early on. It wasn’t so much the 3-0 as it was the picture of the two sides on the pitch, with Borussia having lost both axis and ends, being slow in the comebacks and exposed to the hosts’ counterattacks.

The second half started with Terzic, who already made three changes. Mats Hummels replaced the injured Niko Slotebeck in the 44th minute and Salih Ezcan and Daniel Mullen took the place of Julian Ryerson and Julian Brandt at the break.

Nothing has changed in the image of the game. The hosts threw themselves, did what they wanted on the pitch, missed chances and scored a fourth goal through Kingsley Coman. Moments later, Eric Maxim Tsupo Moting sent the ball impressively into the net but the goal was disallowed for narrow offside.

With everything decided, Yusufah Mukoko stepped into the game to close the gap between the two teams. Emre Can did this first with a penalty won by newcomer Serge Gnabry in the 72nd minute, which Mullen reduced to 4:2 in the end.
