Bayern Munich Edges Bremen 2-1, Mazraoui Assist Keeps Title Hopes Alive

Bayern Munich dominated Bremen (2-1) on Saturday, May 6 on their home turf, thus keeping the lead in the championship (65 points). Moroccan international Noussair Mazraoui, who contributed to the German club’s victory by delivering an assist for Leroy Sané in the 72nd minute, dreams of the title.

After an unproductive first half, Bayern Munich imposed themselves on Werder Bremen in the second half and won the victory. Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the 62nd minute of play. On a magnificent assist delivered by Noussair Mazraoui, who was in the starting lineup by Tuchel, Leroy Sané scored the second goal in the 72nd minute. It was not until the 87th minute that Niklas Schmidt of Bremen scored a consolation goal. The match ended with a score of 2-1. With this victory, the Müncheners now have 65 points and remain at the top of the Bundesliga after the 31st matchday.

After the match, Mazraoui shared his impressions (via @iMiaSanMia): "It was a difficult game. There weren’t many chances in the first half. But like last week, we remained calm and patient. We kept the pressure on and the opponent got tired. The spaces opened up and we were able to capitalize on our chances. We will give everything to win the title."

Bayern Munich will host Schalke 04 in their Allianz Arena on Saturday, May 13.
