Overview
- A VAR review awarded Bayern an opening penalty for Senne Lynen’s foul on Lennart Karl, which Harry Kane converted before adding a long-range second; Leon Goretzka sealed it in the 70th minute.
- The result restored Bayern’s advantage to six points after Borussia Dortmund’s 4-0 win the previous evening.
- Manuel Neuer was withdrawn at halftime with calf tightness in what the club called a precaution, and Jonas Urbig finished in goal.
- Kane reached 500 career goals and now has 26 in the Bundesliga this season, keeping him in range of Robert Lewandowski’s single‑season record of 41.
- Werder’s winless run hit 12 league matches, leaving the club in the relegation playoff spot ahead of pivotal games against St. Pauli and Heidenheim.
