Bayern Munchen 5–1 Hoffenheim

Harry Kane 20′ (penalty) and 45′ (penalty), Luis Diaz 45’+2, 62′ and 89′ for Bayern. Andrej Kramarić 35′ for Hoffenheim.

Bayern Munich delivered a ruthless attacking performance, cruising to a 5–1 victory over Hoffenheim in a match that perfectly showcased their offensive depth and current momentum. After a relatively balanced opening phase, Bayern quickly took control and never looked back, overwhelming Hoffenheim with pace, movement, and clinical finishing. The night belonged to Luis Díaz, who produced a sensational hat trick, tormenting Hoffenheim’s defense with his direct runs and sharp finishing. Díaz opened the scoring with a powerful strike from inside the box before adding two more goals that highlighted both his composure and explosive athleticism. His performance was a reminder of just how devastating Bayern can be on the wings when space is available.

Harry Kane also played a starring role, scoring two goals to continue his outstanding Bundesliga campaign. The English striker was once again the model of efficiency, combining intelligent positioning with lethal finishing to punish every defensive mistake. Kane’s partnership with Díaz proved unplayable throughout the match, as Hoffenheim struggled to cope with Bayern’s constant pressure. Hoffenheim managed a consolation goal, but it did little to change the flow of the game. Bayern dominated possession, created chances at will, and controlled the tempo with authority. This emphatic win further strengthens Bayern’s position at the top of the Bundesliga and sends a clear message to their title rivals: when Bayern click in attack, few teams in Europe can live with them.

Koln 1–2 RB Leipzig

Jan Thielmann 51′ for Koln. Christoph Baumgartner 29′ and 56′ for Leipzig.

RB Leipzig picked up an important away win at the RheinEnergie Stadion, beating 1. FC Köln 2–1 in a spirited encounter. After an even first half, Leipzig took the lead in the 30th minute through Christoph Baumgartner, whose well-placed header from a free-kick put the visitors ahead. Köln responded early in the second half with Jan Thielmann’s equalizer, raising the intensity and setting up a tense final 30 minutes. Leipzig didn’t let up, however, and Baumgartner struck again in the 56th minute with a composed finish to restore the lead. Despite late pressure from the hosts, Leipzig held on to secure the victory — a result that keeps them firmly in the hunt for European qualification spots as the Bundesliga season unfolds. It was a performance that underlined Leipzig’s growing maturity and their ability to manage tight games while grinding out results away from home.
