Bayern Munich 3-1 RB Leipzig: Diaz, Brown & Musiala seal Telekom Cup win (full highlights)Bayern Munich claimed the Telekom Cup with a 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena in their final pre-season friendly, with goals from Luis Diaz, Nathaniel Brown and Jamal Musiala securing the win. Colombian winger Diaz opened the scoring in the 13th minute, capitalising on a defensive mix-up after Jonathan Tah's knockdown to fire into the bottom corner of Maarten Vandevoordt's goal. It was Diaz's second goal in as many pre-season games, and he celebrated by making a heart sign to dedicate the strike to the victims of the earthquake in Colombia. Leipzig pulled level in the 53rd minute through Brajan Gruda, who finished from close range after Max Finkgrefe's cross from the left. Bayern restored their lead just four minutes later when Nathaniel Brown, making the most of his opportunity after Alexander Pavlovic's return, slotted home with a clinical first-time finish from the Serbian's delivery. Jamal Musiala wrapped up the victory in the 81st minute, calmly finishing after Ismail Saibari's through-ball before being booked five minutes later. The match was marred by a worrying moment in the closing stages when Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs was stretchered off with what appeared to be a serious injury. With this win, Vincent Kompany's side completed their pre-season preparations and now turn their attention to the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Borussia Dortmund on August 22. The full match highlights and all goals are available to watch, with Bayern looking sharp ahead of the Bundesliga opener against Stuttgart. GermanyMenFootball |
