After a little wait, the strongest German league finally started - the "Bundesliga". The country's champion, Munich's "Bayern" team, started the season properly and after a tough battle, defeated "Hoffenheim" 3:1.
However, the first three points of the season were overshadowed by Kingsley Coman's injury. The Frenchman injured his ankle at the end of the first half and had to leave the field with the help of the team's medical staff.
Before this unpleasant incident, "Bayern" had already taken the lead. In the 23rd minute, after a great pass from Joshua Kimmich from a corner kick, Thomas Muller scored a header.
After the break, the "Hoffenheim" team played much more actively and had more dangerous opportunities, and ultimately took advantage of their chance with Adam Szalai, who beat the entire Bavarian defense and Manuel Neuer.
However, after more than 20 minutes, Robert Lewandowski brought the lead back to his team by converting a penalty kick. However, he was only successful on his second attempt.
The first attempt was saved by the opponents' goalkeeper, but Arjen Robben was first to the ball and sent it into the net. However, after a VAR review, the referee saw that several players entered the penalty area too early and decided that R. Lewandowski would retake his penalty kick, which was accurate.
A few minutes later, "Bayern" scored their third goal when Leon Goretzka struck from very far. Then T. Muller tried to get out of the way, but the ball went off his hand into the goal. After this episode, VAR assistance was used again and the goal was disallowed.
Nevertheless, in added time, "Bayern" took advantage of poorly organized "Hoffenheim" defense and scored their goal, which was counted, ultimately scored by A. Robben.
"Bayern" 3:1 "Hoffenheim" 23' [1-0] T. Muller 57' [1-1] A. Szalai 79' [2-1] R. Lewandowski (penalty) 90+1' [3-1] A. Robben
