"Tom Bischof sent Serge Gnabry through to open the scoring in the 25th minute, Konrad Laimer crossed for Jackson to head the second goal in the 31st, and Raphaël Guerreiro forced an own goal from Loïc Badé before the break. Jackson, who has scored twice in the Champions League, had previously failed to find the net in six Bundesliga appearances for Bayern since arriving on loan from Chelsea."
"Gnabry, Jackson and the 17-year-old Lennart Karl made way for Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise before the hour-mark, giving the three substitutes the chance to warm up for the trip to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday. Leverkusen, which was without the influential Álex Grimaldo because of muscular problems, had sent on 19-year-old Algeria forward Ibrahim Maza after the break. But the visiting team never looked anything near the team that broke Bayern's domestic dominance in 2024."
Bayern Munich defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0, stretching their winning start to 15 matches across all competitions and ending Leverkusen's Bundesliga-record 37-game unbeaten away run. Serge Gnabry opened in the 25th minute, Nicolas Jackson headed his first Bundesliga goal in the 31st minute from a Konrad Laimer cross, and Raphaël Guerreiro forced a Loïc Badé own goal before halftime. Jackson had previously scored only in the Champions League and had not found the net in six Bundesliga appearances since joining on loan from Chelsea. Bayern made late substitutions including Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise ahead of a Champions League trip to PSG, while Leverkusen were missing Álex Grimaldo and introduced Ibrahim Maza after the break.
