Bayern Beat Schalke 2-0

After dispatching Schalke 2-0, Bayern moved to the top of the points table in the Bundesliga. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry scored for Bayern against Schalke. As expected, Julian Nagelsmann deployed a very offensive lineup against Schalke, featuring Leon Goretzka as the lone defensive midfielder. Kimmich started in the right-back position, while Jamal Musiala was switched from central midfield to the position. Both teams continued to press in earnest in the opening 10 minutes. However, both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances. The match quickly descended into a war of attrition. Neither side could provide clear chances. Kimmich had a terrific chance to open the scoring when he was unmarked in the six-yard box but missed. A week after back-to-back victories, Bayern were dominant in both halves. Serge Gnabry had an advanced opportunity to open the scoring when he was unmarked in the six-yard box but failed to put his header into the top corner.
