At 25 minutes into the game, Bayern Munich scored their third goal in Goretzka’s Viktoria Plzen goal with a filigree shot into the bottom corner of the goal.

In the second half, Bayern Munich relaxed a bit and began to finish the match comfortably. But the Viktoria Plzen players took advantage of this. In the 61st minute of the game, Vlkanovato scored an excellent goal from the edge of the penalty area on the fly into the bottom corner of the Bayern Munich goal.

And already in the 75th minute, Kliment received the ball in the opponent’s penalty area and scored a goal against Sven Ulreich. The second goal gave Viktoria Plzen hope for a draw, but as a result, the score remained unchanged at 4:2 in favor of the German football team until the end of the game.
