Bayern Munich cruises past Heidenheim
Bayern Munich has taken another decisive step toward reclaiming the Bundesliga title with a dominant 4-0 victory over struggling FC Heidenheim on Saturday. The win not only helped the league leaders bounce back from recent setbacks but also temporarily extended their lead over title rivals Bayer Leverkusen to nine points with four matches remaining.
Kane breaks the deadlock early
It didn’t take long for Bayern to stamp their authority on the match. After just twelve minutes, Harry Kane opened the scoring with a sharp finish on the turn. The goal marked his 24th Bundesliga goal of the season, keeping him firmly at the top of the scoring charts. Six minutes later, Bayern doubled their lead through Konrad Laimer. The Austrian midfielder finished calmly after a well-timed assist from Serge Gnabry, who created space down the right flank.
Coman and Kimmich seal the win
Before the break, Bayern made it 0-3 as Kingsley Coman squeezed a low shot inside the near post. The French winger’s goal capped off a dominant first-half display in which Heidenheim struggled to keep up with the visitors’ tempo and movement. In the second half, Joshua Kimmich added to the scoreline with a precise strike into the bottom-right corner, putting the result beyond any doubt. This marked Bayern’s first win since early April, following their Champions League elimination by Inter Milan and a 2-2 draw in Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund.
Title in sight
With four matchdays remaining, Bayern now sits nine points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who play on Sunday away to FC St. Pauli. A slip from Leverkusen would put Bayern on the brink of yet another Bundesliga title. As the season nears its conclusion, Bayern’s commanding win sends a clear message: der rekordmeister is back on track and closing in on domestic glory once again.
