Unterhaching performed a grimy sport

Bayern followers could acknowledge Sandro Wagner, who got here via the Bavarian youth system within the mid-2000s and returned for a yr in 2017. Nevertheless, Wagner has been on the opposite aspect at this time as coach of Bayern’s rivals Unterhaching.

Sadly, Wagner’s Unterhaching aspect gained a repute for enjoying soiled and was on full show right here. The workforce will make horrible errors, dangerously rush and put Bayern II gamers at risk all night time, whereas on the identical time falling to the bottom on the slightest contact and being extremely theatrical. Nevertheless, the referee by no means grabbed and allow them to slip away each time. It was terrible.

… Nevertheless, Bayern succeeded

Regardless of Unterhaching taking part in on the prime of the league, 22 factors forward of Bayern 2, the Bavarian youths didn’t cease operating and didn’t lose confidence. The workforce dominated the sport from begin to end, with many of the gamers giving wonderful performances. They displayed a little bit of the defensive naivety that Bayern II is understood for and slashed the way in which of the Unterhaching protection on quite a few events.

Bayern II targeted extra on central teams than taking part in out large at this time and the unbelievable interplay from Bayern II’s midfielders (extra on them later) paid off which created many unbelievable possibilities. The winner got here late however and not using a foul, the entire workforce deserved to win the sport. The query arises why Bayern II, even after successful, continues to be 19 factors behind Unterhaching.

Frans Kratzig did nicely in an unfamiliar state of affairs

Bayern loaned out David Herold, their first-choice left-back, and introduced no apparent replacements. Bayern could have needed Adam Azno to fill the void, however the Spaniard is at the moment injured. And with right-back Mamen Sanyang off worldwide responsibility, Bayern have been mild on the full-back. Frans Kratzig, who normally performs in midfield, was due to this fact pressured to fill in at left-back. And he did a very good job. Regardless of some comprehensible faux incidents, Krätzig was comfortable to have more room to face him and contributed drastically to Bayern’s management of the midfield by turning him usually. Coach Holger Seitz might be happy with the success of this experiment.

Arjun Ibrahimovic was nice…till he obtained despatched off

Aragon Ibrahimovic missed coaching with Bayern’s first workforce on Friday, so it was clear that he would play for Bayern 2 at this time. He began as a left winger and was required to carry a bit extra width than he would really like, however nonetheless had a bit license to roam centrally. The teen was an important useful resource all through and was Bayern II’s finest participant on a day when most gamers did very nicely, persistently beating his man, discovering nice passes via the Unterhaching protection and dominating the sport. He even had an help for the primary purpose, latching on a Timo Kern cross to attain the Grant Leon Ranos.

Nevertheless, he misplaced his head in the long run. After one Unterhaching participant dedicated a horrible two-footed stab to a different participant, gamers started to rally across the incident. Ibrahimovic got here operating too and shoved an opposing participant within the chest. This participant used the incident to fall, cling to his face, and declare that Ibrahimovic had hit him – incomes the Bayern participant a purple card. Whereas the purple card was clearly undeserved, the fee was utterly pointless and exhibits Ibrahimovic nonetheless must mature a bit.

Taichi Fukui and Hyunju Lee officiate whereas Eyüp Aydin is proven off the bench

Newcomer Taichi Fukui began his first ever match for Bayern alongside Heonjo Lee and captain Timo Kern and helped lead the midfield whereas Aydin, as soon as an undisputed starter, regarded on from the bench. The latter was changed within the first half, however that is one other signal that Aydin won’t renew his contract and go away in the summertime. And perhaps the coach needs to begin taking Aydin off the aspect.

Focusing as soon as once more on his beginning midfielders, Japan’s Fukui has been an important supply of unimaginable power and stamina, finishing the total 90 minutes seemingly with out tiring. His composure on the ball was additionally outstanding. The identical will be stated about South Korean Hyunjo Lee. The 2 put in a midfield efficiency, however clearly the cherry on prime was how the 2 linked up for a 92nd-minute winner. Fukui performed a ravishing go to Lee, who simply managed to get across the keeper and someway press the ball previous the defender. Lee took off his shirt in celebration and the entire workforce gathered across the scorer in celebration. What an distinctive ending to the match.
