Lewandowski sealed victory for the Gray Tigers

Coach Ancelotti's team affirmed their strength when they defeated their competitors with a score of 3-0 right before entering the winter break.

Before the 2016/2017 Bundesliga season started, no matter how optimistic Leipzig fans were, they did not think their team would compete fairly for the "first leg championship" with defending champion Bayern Munich in the days leading up to Christmas.

Lewandowski continued to score to seal the victory for the Gray Tigers.

However, when it came to a real battle, the Gray Tigers' mettle was clearly revealed. They entered the game confidently and forced the visitors to play according to their intentions. Gradually, Leipzig revealed their own mistakes and finally collapsed within the first 45 minutes.

In this match, the home team at Allianz Arena returned to the familiar 4-3-3 formation from Pep Guardiola's time. The red shirt players proactively pushed up the squad and made many passes. One of them created the opening goal.

In the 17th minute, from a cross from the right wing, striker Robert Lewandowski rushed in to finish, however, the ball hit the post and bounced out.Luckily for the home team, the ball found Thiago Alcantara. He easily finished to open the scoring for the match.

Stunned by the loss, Leipzig played more and more chaotically. Taking advantage of the lead, Bayern Munich increased the tempo of the game. In the 25th minute, taking advantage of a mistake by the away team's defender, Thiago Alcantara passed the ball as if it was placed.Xabi Alonso ran down the right corner, shot diagonally, raising the score to 2-0.

The situation became even more difficult for Ralph Hasenhüttl's team when in the 30th minute, Emil Forsberg was sent off. This was an unavoidable situation when he was forced to foul Lahm to prevent a very dangerous counter-attack from Bayern Munich.

After this goal, Leipzig could only accept defeat. Meanwhile, the Bavarian team continuously fired at the visitors' goal.

In the 44th minute, goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi fouled a player in red in the penalty area. Very quickly, the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Of course, with such a delicious opportunity, striker Lewandowski did not miss it.He easily fooled the opposing team's goalkeeper and increased the gap to three goals.

In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti's players created many good chances. However, it seemed that a three-goal lead was too great an advantage. Therefore, time and time again, the red-shirted strikers wasted great opportunities.

In any case, this victory also helped Bayern Munich win the first leg of the championship. Moreover, they also showed the difference in class between themselves and Leipzig.
