Bayern Munich have work ahead following Augsburg's late comeback, asserts Kompany

Bayern Munich emerged victorious in their latest Bundesliga match against Augsburg, with a final score of 3-2. The reigning champions displayed dominance throughout the game, leading 3-0 early in the second half before allowing two late goals.

Current head coach Vincent Kompany reiterated the need for the team to stay calm and control the tempo of the game, particularly in their defending. Despite some mistakes, Bayern Munich managed to win the match, with everyone contributing.

The Bavarian giants have started the season strongly, winning all four competitive matches so far. Three of these victories have been secured away from home, placing them at the top of the table with six points.

Bayern Munich's dominance was evident in the statistics, with a total of 20 shots in the match, 10 of which were on target, accumulating 3.82 expected goals (xG). Augsburg, on the other hand, had an xG of just 0.5, indicating Bayern's superiority.

Kompany acknowledged there is still work to be done, especially in their defending at certain moments. Josip Stanisic, a Bayern Munich player, expressed concern over a few minutes where the team made too many mistakes, allowing the opposition to come back into the game.

Despite a less than perfect performance in the second half, Bayern Munich remained a threat, creating numerous chances. Goals from Kristijan Jakic and Mert Komur made the match more challenging for the champions, but they managed to secure the victory at WWK Arena on Saturday.

However, the two goals conceded from very few chances are an area Bayern Munich needs to improve. Kompany, who took over as head coach this season, has emphasised the need for the team to be calmer in their defending at times to avoid such mistakes.

Despite these issues, Bayern Munich's patterns of play are correct, and their desire to win is evident. The team's ability to bounce back from mistakes and secure victories, even in challenging circumstances, is a testament to their resilience and determination.

As the season progresses, Kompany will be looking to address these defensive concerns and ensure Bayern Munich continue their winning streak. With their talent and determination, there's no doubt they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Bundesliga this season.
