Bayern Munich crushed Mainz 5-0 in the Bundesliga Round 31 on Sunday, securing their first win in five matches since the start of the season. The Bavarian giants dominated the match from start to finish, with Robert Lewandowski scoring three goals, including his second hat-trick of the campaign, while Erling Haaland added two more.
The game began with Bayern Munich taking control early on. Lewandowski scored the opener for the visitors after just six minutes, finishing off a clever move involving Thomas Müller and Julian Nagelsmann. The German international had been on fire this season, and his goal was just the latest in a string of impressive performances for him and his team-mates.
Mainz tried to claw back into the game, but they were unable to make any significant progress. They managed to get one shot on target, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome. In the second half, Bayern Munich continued to dominate, with Musiala and Sané adding two more goals to their tally.
Lewandowski's hat-trick was particularly impressive, as he scored twice in the first half and once in the second. His performance was not only crucial in securing the win, but it also highlighted the form of his teammates. Erling Haaland, who has become a regular fixture in the starting lineup, also scored twice, putting pressure on Mainz's defense.
The victory over Mainz is a major boost for Bayern Munich, who have now won five out of their last seven league games. It comes at a crucial time for them, as they face tough competition from leaders like Dortmund and Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. However, with their recent form, it looks like Bayern Munich will be able to maintain their lead and continue their climb up the table.
