Bayern Munich Thrashes Union Berlin 3-0, Extends Bundesliga LeadBayern Munich Thrashes Union Berlin 3-0, Extends Bundesliga Lead German giants Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga standings with a resounding 3-0 victory over Union Berlin on Saturday. Thomas Muller opened the scoring for the Bavarians in the 45th minute, tapping in a low cross from Leroy Sane. Just four minutes later, Jamal Musiala doubled Bayern’s lead with a stunning solo effort, dribbling past several Union defenders before firing into the bottom corner. In the second half, Robert Lewandowski put the game beyond doubt with a clinical finish in the 63rd minute. The Polish striker received a pass from Muller on the edge of the area and slotted the ball home with ease. Bayern’s victory sees them maintain their healthy seven-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund, who dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Augsburg earlier in the day. Union Berlin remain in fifth place, seven points behind Dortmund. The win also marks Bayern’s third consecutive clean sheet in the Bundesliga, a testament to their defensive solidity. Manuel Neuer was rarely troubled in goal as Bayern dominated possession and limited Union’s chances. Meanwhile, Union Berlin’s hopes of breaking into the top four took a blow with this defeat. The Iron Ones have now lost three of their last four Bundesliga matches and face a tough task to qualify for Europe next season. Bayern, on the other hand, continue to look unstoppable. With just nine games remaining in the season, they are well on course to secure their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title. Their next fixture is against Eintracht Frankfurt on March 12th, while Union Berlin will host RB Leipzig the following day.
