This marked Rômulo’s sixth goal in the Bundesliga.
Kompany’s decision to leave Olise and Kimmich on the bench negatively affected his team’s performance.
Bayern’s Comeback and Dominance
Bayern started strong, applying pressure early on.
They capitalized on a mistake by Baumgartner to equalize in the 50th minute.
Another error would prove disastrous for Leipzig.
Olise, who came off the bench, delivered an assist to Kane, who netted his 32nd goal of the season for Bayern—benefiting from Baku’s slip.

He assisted Olise, who scored the fifth goal in the 88th minute.
