Bayern Munich, the defending champion, ended the first half ahead with a goal by its young player, Lennart Karl, 26 minutes into the match, which was held in a very small stadium, with a capacity of about 14,000 spectators.
In the second half, the hosts equalized with Maurice Krattenmacher’s goal with a wonderful shot in the 61st minute, but Harry Kane, the top scorer in the German League last season, tipped the balance in his team’s favor with a powerful shot from inside the penalty area, which landed in the net in the 72nd minute.
With this victory, Bayern Munich overcomes the setback of its goalless draw with Schalke in the last round, raising its score to 7 points in fourth place, while Elversberg suffered its first loss, freezing its score at 6 points and falling to sixth place.
