FC Bayern Munich secured its third consecutive win, solidifying its position at the top of the table. The match against newly promoted Kiel was one of the easiest for the record champions.
Kiel’s coach, Marcel Rapp, was sent off during their recent 0-2 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg and had to watch from the stands. Substitute coach Dirk Bremser saw Bayern dominate from the start. Kiel, led by captain Holtby and substitutes Javorcek and Remberg (replacing the injured Bernhardsson and Komenda), offered little resistance.
Vincent Kompany’s squad, featuring Boey, Joao Palhinha (making his first start since moving from Fulham), and Coman, dominated the game from the first second.

The clear favorites scored just 14 seconds into the match. After a pass from Kane, the disorganized Kiel defense allowed Musiala to score, making it 1-0. This goal was Bayern’s third fastest in Bundesliga history, behind only Lothar Matthäus (13 seconds in April 1986) and Giovane Elber (11 seconds in January 1998).
