SAEDNEWS: Bayern Munich thrashed newly promoted Hamburger SV 5-0 in Matchday 3 of the Bundesliga, with early goals, fierce pressure and precise play exposing HSV’s inexperience.
According to Saed News; In what was expected to be a tough return to the Bundesliga for Hamburger SV, Bayern Munich instead treated the match like a masterclass, delivering a 5-0 drubbing on Matchday 3. The defending champions made no apologies — and HSV paid the price.
From just three minutes in, Michael Olise curled in the opener, setting the tone. Bayern’s second came in the 10th via Aleksandar Pavlovic, finishing off a slick combination from the right flank. HSV barely had time to breathe. By the half-hour mark, Bayern had already scored four: Harry Kane from a penalty (26′), Luis Diaz with a deflected long-range blast (29′), and the score was runaway.
HSV’s young defense (average age just over 21) looked outmatched every time Bayern pushed forward. Possession, movement, pressing — everything was in Bayern’s favor.
HSV managed a rare shot on goal when William Mikelbrencis capitalized on a counterattack, only to be denied by a sharp save from Manuel Neuer. But moments like these were fleeting. A controversial handball in the box from Aboubaka Soumahoro (20), penalized after VAR review, allowed Kane to score his second of the night (62′).
Despite brief glimmers of resistance, HSV never settled. Defensive errors and an inability to stifle Bayern’s wing play meant that every deep run by Olise, Laimer, and Diaz threatened disaster.
In the second half, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany made adjustments with one eye on their upcoming Champions League clash with Chelsea. Still, the momentum never dropped. Kane’s second goal came from an interception at his own box, a quick counter involving Diaz and Olise, and a crisp finish.
Manuel Neuer was barely troubled after the first half, and the rest of the game saw Bayern managing the lead, hitting the crossbar near the end, and delivering a performance that oozed superiority in every department.
HSV will likely rue their defensive naiveté and lack of experience. Bayern, by contrast, end Matchday 3 not just with three wins but with confidence oozing from every pass.
Looking ahead, Bayern hosts Chelsea in their next Champions League outing on Wednesday, then travels to Hoffenheim. HSV faces Heidenheim at home — a chance for redemption. But if this performance was anything to go by, Munich are far ahead in quality and composure.
