Bayern beat Bochum 7-0 this Saturday , led by a great Harry Kane who scored three goals and made two assists against an opponent who at no time managed to offer any resistance worthy of mention.
The win allows the Bavarian team to maintain the pulse with Bayer Leverkusen, who plays on Sunday, and probably surpass them on goal difference to assume the lead.
From the opening whistle, Bayern took advantage of the spaces provided by Bochum, which had taken the field with a daring approach, trying to press very high, which very soon proved to be a suicidal approach.
Before the first minute of play was over, the first warning came, when Alphonso Davies broke the visitors' first line of pressure and played with Coman, who sent a cross for Choupo-Moting to head into the face of goalkeeper Manuel Riemann .
Shortly after, in the 4th minute, the Cameroonian did not forgive. Once again, Bayern had broken the first line of pressure, once again they had found themselves with enough space in the opposite half and Sané opened the game for Coman, who crossed low for the forward to finish at will, from close range and into an empty goal.
Harry Kane increased the score in the 12th minute with a shot from his right foot and then took advantage of a rebound after an attack by Alphonso Davies into the area.
Bayern continued to find an open highway in the opposite half and the arrivals occurred one after another. However, the third goal, scored with a header by De Ligt, came from a corner kick in the 29th minute.
Thomas Letsch, seeing how Bayern arrived at the area time after time, decided to abandon his initial approach and made two changes in the 36th minute - he took off Passlack and Wittek who had the task of pressing high on the wings - to make way for Loosli and Hoffmann, with a more defensive profile.
When Bochum was trying to understand the coach's new approach, Bayern's 4th goal occurred in the 38th minute. Kane took the ball in the middle of the field and made a great pass to Sané who, after sneaking between the centre-backs, scored from the area.
Bochum had gone into a mode in which they were just trying to avoid worse damage and retreated in the second half, but conceded the 5th early on a penalty converted by Kane in the 54th minute.
The game became calmer, but there was always the feeling in the air that Bayern could score another goal and the Briton completed the party. First, in the 81st minute with a pass to Mathys Tel for the 6th and then with the hat trick and the 7th for Bayern from a cross from Noussir Mazraoui in the 88th minute.
