Diaz steals the show in Munich
Bayern Munich delivered a 6-1 statement win over RB Leipzig on Saturday, October 17, with Luis Díaz scoring a hat-trick and Harry Kane marking his 100th Bundesliga appearance with a goal. The result sent Bayern to the top of the table on 14 points, ahead of Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.
Díaz opened the scoring in the 12th minute and later completed his hat-trick. He also set up Aleksandar Pavlovic for Bayern’s second goal, while Michael Olise added another in a dominant first half. Kane scored before Leipzig found a late consolation.
A response after two draws
The emphatic result came after Bayern had drawn their previous Bundesliga and Champions League matches. Coach Vincent Kompany had said his team was close to its best level, and the performance offered a convincing response to recent criticism.
Leipzig struggled to contain Bayern’s movement and pressure. The six-goal display highlighted the champions’ attacking depth, with Díaz, Olise, Pavlovic and Kane all contributing to the scoreline.
