The Bavarians took the lead in the 31st minute through Thomas Müller, who latched onto a perfect cross from Kingsley Coman. Müller’s clinical finish found the bottom corner, leaving Union Berlin goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow with no chance. Bayern doubled their advantage just six minutes later. This time, it was Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who found the back of the net. The Cameroonian striker used his strength to hold off two Union defenders and slotted the ball past Rønnow. Union Berlin, who had been impressive in recent weeks, struggled to find a foothold in the match as Bayern controlled possession and dictated the tempo. The home side went into the break with a comfortable 2-0 lead. After the restart, Bayern continued to press forward, and their persistence paid off in the 56th minute. Alphonso Davies provided a brilliant assist for Serge Gnabry, who finished with aplomb to seal the victory. Bayern’s defense was equally impressive, with Manuel Neuer making several crucial saves to keep Union Berlin at bay. Joshua Kimmich and Dayot Upamecano put in commanding performances at the heart of the backline. The win extends Bayern’s unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to 11 matches. Julian Nagelsmann’s side now has a five-point lead over Borussia Dortmund in second place. Union Berlin, who had been in contention for a Champions League spot, remain in seventh place. “We were very good today,” said Nagelsmann. “We controlled the game, created many chances, and took our opportunities. It was a complete performance.” Union Berlin coach Urs Fischer admitted that his team was second-best on the day. “Bayern were simply too strong for us,” he said. “We need to learn from this experience and come back stronger.” Bayern Munich will now turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16. Union Berlin, meanwhile, will look to bounce back in their upcoming league fixture against VfL Wolfsburg.
