Bundesliga 2018/19, Hoffenheim 1-3 Bayern Munich: 5 Talking Points

#2 Leon Goretzka proved to be the difference

Goretzka scored 2 of Bayern's 3 goals

Fun fact: Before the game earlier, Goretzka has never scored twice in a competitive fixture for Bayern Munich. The midfielder, who came in from Schalke, had a wonderful time in the middle today, his two first-half goals adding to the sweetness.

Both goals came as a result of some good teamwork, complimented by Goretzka's movement in the field.

In the first case, Coman's cross directed at Lewandowski rebounded off Baumann to an unmarked Goretzka, who was lurking very well in the shadows - going on to score.

The second time, it was Alaba who found Goretzka alone and in the zone for a hit, as his pin-pointed cross fell well within range, and with Goretzka at the right place and the right time, it was nothing but a foregone conclusion.

In addition to the goals, Goretzka's dynamic runs in the midfield created a lot of problems for Nagelsmann's team, as he often used two or more men to track the man down, leaving another Bayern player open and free.

Whenever the security was withdrawn, Goretzka found himself free, which is when he scored the goals. The midfielder also completed 89% of his passes.
