Full-time: St-Pauli 0-1 Bayern Munich

Bayern secure a narrow win away in Hamburg. Jamal Musiala's first-half stunner was all they needed to prevail, which was for the best as they otherwise struggled to create chances. Pauli were solid defensively, but were unable to pose much threat offensively.

Sané thwarted again

Bayern are starting to threaten more. They have still not created a clear-cut opening yet, though - this latest Sané attempt is from a similar position outside the area and is a comfortable stop for Vasilj.

A more difficult effort for Vasilj to deal with this time, but he again deals with Sané's strike and pushes to safety.

Pauli lead xG

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Chances have been few and far between in this one.

Kick-off!

Half-time: St. Pauli 0-1 Bayern Munich

Jamal Musiala's moment of magic is all that separates the teams at the break. Bayern only had three shots in the first half, their fewest at the interval in any Bundesliga game this season, but one of them was a stunner from Musiala as he crashed in off the bar from 30 yards. Pauli have been solid defensively, though, and if they can improve going forward in the second period, there is something in this for them.

Half-time

5 minutes remaining

Not long to go as Bayern look to add to their lead before the break.

Man of the moment

Musiala also scored Bayern's winner against Benfica in midweek. He is beginning to find his best form.

30'

Mets over

A first shot for the hosts, as Mets volleys over the bar from a dangerous position. That will give Pauli hope that they can recover from that setback.

Wonder-strike from Musiala!

That is a brilliant hit from the Germany international to give Bayern the lead! He wins the ball about 35 yards from goal, takes a touch and hammers it in off the bar. Vasilj had no chance there.

GOAL!

0:1

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

2 %

Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

107.82 km/h

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

27.64 m

Hard-fought

It's been a tight opening game, with Pauli keeping things compact and even getting forward on occasion.

15'

First shot on target

Musiala's low drive is easily held by Vasilj. That's the first time either goalkeeper has been tested today.

12'

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

First foray forward

First start of the season

Goretzka is in the starting line-up in the Bundesliga for the first time under Kompany. Can he have an impact?

Teams on the pitch

Hells Bells rings out at the Millerntor as the teams enter the field of play.

Awaiting those teams

The Millerntor-Stadion is rocking as we await the appearance of both teams. The pitch is getting a good watering down below, meaning we'll have a nice, slick surface for this encounter.

Going old school

With João Palhinha and Michael Olise on the bench today, Bayern are starting without a summer signing for the first time this season.

St. Pauli team news

Alexander Blessin, meanwhile, makes just one change to the team that beat Hoffenheim on Matchday 9. Lars Ritzka is the fresh face, repalcing Philipp Treu on the left of the midfield.

Bayern team news

Bayern make three changes to the team that beat Benfica in midweek. Raphaël Guerreiro replaces Konrad Laimer at right-back, while João Palhinha makes way for Leon Goretzka. Also, Leroy Sané comes in for Michael Olise.

Watch: Michael Olise is named October Rookie of the Month

The French winger follows September's winner, Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kauã Santos.

Differing forward lines

While Bayern have the best attack in the division so far this season, scoring 32 times, St. Pauli have the worst with just seven.

Kompany enjoying Germany

The Belgian's 23 points from his opening nine Bundesliga fixtures is the highest tally for a Bayern manager since Carlo Ancelotti in 2016. Only Ottmar Hitzfeld in 1998 (25) had amassed more points at this stage of a season.

Tale of the tape

Of the 22 meetings between these two teams, Bayern have won 14 of them. At the Millerntor, Pauli have won just one of the previous 10 match-ups, with their 8-1 defeat in 2011 not only their biggest defeat amongst the elite, but also Bayern's biggest-ever away victory in the Bundesliga.

Bayern back on track in Champions League

After back-to-back defeats in Europe's premier club competition, Bayern returned to winning ways as they defeated Benfica 1-0 on Wednesday. Der Rekordmeister's quest to finish in the top eight and qualify directly for the round of 16 has therefore received a big boost.

Kompany on Pauli

"I see St. Pauli's progress as very positive. It's a special club, very emotional. They play good football and deserved to be promoted. There's always a special atmosphere in home games. St. Pauli are just good for the Bundesliga. They're a bit of a different club. The club always has good ideas to get the fans involved and create that feeling of togetherness."

Blessin on Bayern

“Obviously, the anticipation for such a match is pretty high. We know what strong opponents are coming our way, but at the end of the day I think we’ve proven in recent weeks that we’ve performed pretty well against these top teams. We want to throw everything at it on Saturday and see if we can cause Bayern problems.”

Tame plays fierce

Pauli are the first promoted team to go their first five home games of a season without scoring. Bayern, on the other hand, have scored at least three goals in their five away fixtures so far in 2024/25. Six would be a Bundesliga record.
