Werder Bremen vs FC Bayern - Bundesliga Highlights - Matchweek 22 - 2025-2026

Quite possibly painful, and with good reason. Di Verdaverna beaten here in their own backyard on Bayern's last 15 visits to the banks of the River Weser. The coach's home debut sees a total of four Werder changes, whose new contract was confirmed yesterday until 2030. Off we go, Werder begin the game today. A team who are on this awful 11 game winless run as they take on the league leaders, whose lead is three points a kickoff Bayern. Ball given away, Kimmich. Kimmich to feed Kahl. Lennart Kahl, tremendous run, goes down, and the ball taken, not the man, as Bayern appeal for a penalty. That looked contentious, Seb. Oh yeah, definitely. It was a great move by Lennart Kahl, and we spoke about it, he feels so comfortable. They've said go and look at the pictures, and Seb, what we'll see here is quite damning of the challenge by Senna Lina. Yes, I mean, Timo Gera in the centre we see at the bottom right, they want to make sure they give him the right call. So it takes a couple of seconds more, you want to make sure you give him the right call, but this is no doubter, it's got to be a penalty. Let's listen. Bayern do have a penalty kick. Kahl brought down with young Mio Backhaus. Harry Kane, what's in the locker here from the spot? Let's see. A Harry Kane penalty always means but one thing in the Bundesliga, another goal for Bayern. Their 80th in the top division so far this term, and Kane's 25th in the Bundesliga, and now brings up for him in all competitions, 1-2-5 in Bayern colours. Already only 10 men have ever scored more than he has in a Bayern jersey. And the Bundesliga has yet to miss a single penalty. Here's Kane again, and Kane's shot! It's another double for Harry Kane, and they keep on coming. He scores multiple goals in a game in the Bundesliga for the 22nd time in 85 matches, and Kane now onto 26 for the season to match the pace of Lewandowski's remarkable 41 goal season in 2021. And it's now a couple of times it happened at Bayern with a good pressing, and Harry Kane, he didn't know where shall I put the ball, and the famous coach said if you don't know where to put it, just put it in the back of the net. Again, so much pace on the ball, precision. World Club put it on target. Kim for Kane. Kane, what a pass! Diaz clear. It's Luis Diaz from the angle, backhouse with the save. But again here, that Kane pass. That pass, that timing, the run by Luis Diaz. Neobacos with, he knew straight away, okay, out of this position there will be only a chip going past me. Back here though, here for Schmid for Werder, and now open space to move into for Felix It's Agu, and still, Agu's shot is their best moment so far in the first half. Very good, they get pace in the game, they get into the final third, and they're not making it too complicated, get in the box. Well, half-time and a pair of Harry Kane goals, the difference at the Weserstadion. So Bayern begin the second half here with that two-goal cushion over Werder In goal, a new man in Urbeck, and his first job here to launch the ball long up towards Harry Kane. Here's that deeper position there for Senna-Lehnen. The cross, and helped on by Grulov, the post from him. They did, as they started in the first half, a great ball in. They had three players to get at the end of the ball. It's a great header, good ball in, and it's all down to get as many players as possible in the final. Now it's Romano Schmid, Justin Ginma, takes on Kim. Ginma, as in the first half, said Schmid, good balance. It comes, though, Gnabry's way here for Luis Diaz. Diaz, Gnabry, with Koulibaly back here to Luis Diaz again. Luis Diaz twists and turns, the shot, though, is taken. Stanisic, now Karl takes over. Karl for Kane, lovely touch here for Gnabry, and Backhouse saves. A great ball by Harry Kane, great touch here, perfect speed on it. Bangula towards Ginma, lost the ball to Kane. And these are the little things that separate you from a top team when you're at the bottom. One here by Gwul Verwerder. Gwul across, Schmid is there, Ulbich makes a great save. Here, though, Jens Stey, another block from Bayern. Great work by Gwul, great body strength. Obviously, that means Conny Leimer on the right-hand side, Alphonso Davies left-back. Ginma, now Schmid, Kim stepping in again. No foul given, Schmid stayed down for Verwerder. Goretzka for Muzayala. On to Davies, Luis Diaz. Luis Diaz, Jamal Muzayala, the backheel for Alphonso Davies. Davies, Goretzka, job done, game one. Goretzka finds the bottom corner and finds Bayern a three-goal lead in this second half, and that should be that. And again, a six-point gap to Dortmund in the summit. Given the second half start so far, this is maybe harsh on Werder Bremen. That's very harsh, but it's all down to the commitment, winning the ball back, and then talking about immediate impact of the substitutions. Good combination play, especially Jamal Muzayala here, knowing, okay, I can't get around it, so. Muzayala, oh, Diaz, goalkeeper hasn't got there. Can Kahl get to this one? No, he can't because Lehmann there to clear. And it just shows how fast Bayern can see these situations when to go forward. It's a tough challenge. Both of them went for the ball. Muzayala's clever turn away from trouble. The balance of Muzayala, but he's lost the ball here for a moment. Marko Gruhl, and the shot grabbed by Jonas Urbic. Up to here, Jackson, Diaz, how quick is he? That's how quick he is. Luis Diaz, Muzayala, great save by Kahls. Kahls shows, yes, he's a keeper. Wow, to put that shot off under that pressure. And then at the top, the gap again is six points between Bayern and Dortmund, their closest pursuers. Today in Bremen, it is 16 straight wins here in this Stadium 4.
