The goals simply keep on coming for Bayern Munich.

After scoring a trio of goals in the first half, the reigning Bundesliga champions added another in the opening stages of the second half via a counter-attack sequence.

Leroy Sane was among the ones leading this transition sequence for Bayern. The German forward was able to carry the ball from the halfway line up to the penalty box. And instead of attempting a shot on goal, Sane sent in a ball inside to where Francesco Acerbi scored an own goal.
