6:24pm: FULL-TIME: Entertaining game. Once Bayern settled into the game, they had a good game and they scored some emphatic goals. Leverkusen did well to keep their game plan going at 4-1 down. Leverkusen struggled with Bayern’s intensity and pressure but they did well. Wirtz became the youngest ever player to score in the Bundesliga. My man of the match is Muller, he created chances effectively and his link-up play with Lewandowski worked efficiently.
