Bayern Munich narrowly defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 in an intense Bundesliga encounter on Saturday, May 6. It was a closely fought contest at the Weserstadion, with both sides evenly matched in the first half. However, Bayern Munich came out on top, thanks to goals from Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane, while Niklas Schmidt's late strike for Werder Bremen proved to be a mere consolation.
The match began with both teams looking to gain control of the midfield, but it was Bayern Munich who started to dictate the pace of the game, with their superior ball possession. Despite having most of the ball, Bayern Munich found it difficult to break down a resolute Werder Bremen defence, and the first half ended goalless.
In the second half, Bayern Munich came out firing on all cylinders and took the lead through a superb strike from Serge Gnabry in the 62nd minute. Werder Bremen tried to get back into the game, but their efforts were in vain as Leroy Sane scored the second goal for Bayern Munich in the 72nd minute. Niklas Schmidt's 87th-minute goal gave Werder Bremen some hope, but it was too little too late as Bayern Munich held on for the win.
The victory sees Bayern Munich strengthen their grip on the top spot in the Bundesliga, with a four-point lead over second-placed RB Leipzig, while Werder Bremen remain in 12th place, with 35 points from 31 games. Bayern Munich will look to maintain their lead at the top of the table when they take on Borussia Monchengladbach in their next match, while Werder Bremen will look to bounce back when they face Bayer Leverkusen.
