Bundesliga 2024-25: Bayern Munich beats RB Leipzig 5-1 to end year on top of the table
The HinduBayern Munich stamped its authority over the Bundesliga in commanding style by hammering fourth-placed RB Leipzig 5-1 on Friday in a game that featured two goals in the opening two minutes for the first time in the league’s history. Leipzig hit back almost immediately as Lois Openda escaped down the right and his cross was swept home by Benjamin Sesco – the first time in Bundesliga history that two goals have been scored in the first two minutes. Bayern dominated the rest of the game and got its second in the 25th minute as former Leipzig man Konrad Laimer scored his first Bayern goal, side-footing in a volley from a clever Olise cross. Joshua Kimmich smashed home a trademark long-range shot after 36 minutes to give the host a deserved 3-1 halftime lead, as Leipzig failed to muster another effort on goal.
