VfL Osnabrück 1-4 Bayern München: Olise drives the comeback

Key numbers

  • 22 shots to 5: Bayern dominated the attacking play
  • 14 shots inside the box to 1
  • Olise's 6 key passes were the most in the match

Bayern turned it round by the 24th minute

Bayern München went behind early to Robin Meißner but were level well before the half-hour. Harry Kane equalised in the 18th minute and Tom Bischof added a second in the 24th, a swift reply that left VfL Osnabrück chasing the match. Kane's equaliser was worth +0.4 FN xPts, the largest value on the board as Bayern wiped out the deficit.

Bayern did their work inside the box

Bayern's pressure was concentrated in the most dangerous area of the pitch. They had 22 shots, 14 of them from inside the area, which was box-heavy for a side that did not need to rely on speculative efforts. Osnabrück never won a corner, and Jonas Krumrey made five saves. The pattern suggests Bayern kept finding space close to goal.

Olise supplied the creativity

Michael Olise was the link between Bayern's build-up and their finishing. He created six chances, more than anyone else on the pitch, and he also won more duels and completed more dribbles than any other player. His goal in the 73rd minute made it 1-3 and put the match out of Osnabrück's reach.

Osnabrück were left trailing for long spells

Osnabrück spent 66 minutes behind, and the gap widened late on when Kane converted a penalty in the 86th minute to make it 1-4. With Bayern already well clear, that goal was worth next to nothing in FN xPts. Meißner put both of his shots on target, but his early goal was the only one the hosts managed.
