Bayern Munich turns the game against SV Elversberg and wins 2-1

One of the four remaining players had the first good opportunity: Aleksandar Pavlović put a shot from the edge of the penalty area just over the crossbar (16th minute).

Elversberg, who started the season excellently with two wins, acted courageously. They tried to put the visitors' newly formed defense under pressure with high pressing. This approach repeatedly brought the Munich team into minor turbulence.

Lennart Karl breaks the spell

The record champions had a hard time against the attentive Bundesliga newcomer – until the 26th minute. Then summer signing Ismael Saibari asserted himself strongly on the left wing and brought the ball into the middle, where Harry Kane missed, but Lennart Karl converted the pass at the second post.

The second half initially offered nothing new. Elversberg tried hard to keep Bayern controlling and sedate. Then a stroke of genius from Maurice Krattenmacher equalized. The 21-year-old Munich native flicked the ball wonderfully into the right corner from 18 meters (61'). Bayern keeper Jonas Urbig had no chance to defend against Krattenmacher's third goal of the season.

Kompany brought fresh forces with Kimmich, Alphonso Davies, Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala.

The defending champion was finally more active and dangerous. First, Michael Olise hit the crossbar with a lob (70'), then Harry Kane scored (72'). With a small movement, the Englishman created the decisive space and scored an outstanding right-footed shot into the top right corner (72').
