Serge Gnabry’s dramatic late goal sealed a 3-2 victory for Bayern Munich against VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday. The win marks a successful Bundesliga debut for Bayern’s new head coach, Vincent Kompany.
Wolfsburg started the match with energy, but Bayern soon took control. In the first half, French defender Sacha Boey made a crucial play, setting up Jamal Musiala for an easy goal.
The second half began poorly for Bayern. They conceded a penalty when Tiago Tomas was fouled by Boey. Lovro Majer confidently converted the spot-kick to level the score.
Wolfsburg continued to press, and in the 55th minute, Patrick Wimmer passed to Majer, who scored his second goal of the game. Bayern fought back, with Jakub Kaminski scoring an own goal to bring the match level.
The decisive moment came in the 82nd minute. Gnabry, assisted by Harry Kane, fired a shot into the corner of the net to clinch the win for Bayern.
Kane and new signing Michael Olise were constantly in the thick of the action, creating numerous chances. Wolfsburg’s goalkeeper, Kamil Grabara, made several stunning saves to keep his team in the game.
Thomas Mueller, making his 709th competitive appearance for Bayern, was instrumental after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute. His contribution helped secure the win.
This victory is a promising start for Kompany, who took over from Thomas Tuchel after a challenging season that saw Bayern finish third and overshadowed by Bayer Leverkusen.
