In a German League match, Bayern Munich achieved a crushing victory away to St. Pauli with a score of 5-0, breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single season, five rounds before the end of the season.
Led by coach Vincent Kompany, the Bavarian team achieved several achievements, surpassing the 100-goal barrier in the league, and strengthening its position at the top of the standings by 12 points, making it a few steps away from clinching the title.
Bayern Munich, which is preparing to host Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals after winning the first leg 2-1 in Spain, raised its score to 76 points, bringing it very close to winning the league title.
Bayern took advantage of the stumble of its direct rival, Borussia Dortmund, whose score froze at 64 points after losing 1-0 at home to Bayer Leverkusen, which means that French star Oliseh’s team needs only 3 points to be officially crowned.
Jamal Musiala opened the scoring with a header in the ninth minute, as the visitors equaled the record of 101 goals in a single season, which had also been set by Bayern in the 1971-72 season.
Bayern then added two quick goals from Leon Goretzka in the 53rd minute and Michael Olissi a minute later, breaking the previous record and securing victory.
Senegalese Nicholas Jackson added the fourth goal in the 65th minute, before Rafael Guerrero concluded the scoring with the fifth goal, bringing the match to an end 5-0, noting that coach Vincent Kompany had rested a number of key players, including striker Harry Kane.
Bayern is still competing for three titles, and will face Leverkusen in the German Cup semi-finals on April 22. (Erm News)
