BERLIN, Sept. 16-- Bayern Munich returned to winning ways after crushing Mainz 4-0 meanwhile Monchengladbach reaped a two-all draw at Leipzig at the 4th round in Bundesliga on Saturday. Robert Lewandowski's double strike helped the German record champions to down hapless Mainz 4-0 and to ensure the third win of the season. Although Mainz grabbed the first chance of the game through Daniel Brosinski it were the hosts, who opened the scoring with eleven minutes into the game when Joshua Kimmich's square pass found Thomas Mueller, who poked home in a busy penalty area. Mainz worked another chance but Manuel Neuer denied Robin Quaison in a one-on-one before Kimmich's through ball allowed Arjen Robben to chip the ball over onrushing goalkeeper Rene Adler in the 23rd minute. After the restart, Bayern started where they left off as Robert Lewandowski tripled the lead after tapping home Thomas Mueller cross into the area with four minutes into the second half. The Poland international wasn't done with the scoring as he sealed the deal after providing his 82nd goal in his 100th Bundesliga appearances. Lewandowski made the most of Kimmich's cross to head home the final 4-0 score in the 77th minute. With the result, Bayern climb on the 2nd place of the standing while Mainz slumped to the 14th position. Leipzig squandered their lead twice to share the spoils with resilient Borussia Monchengladbach following a 2-2. |
