Bayern Munich Secures Hard-Fought 3-2 Victory Over St. Pauli to Maintain Bundesliga Lead and Extend Unbeaten Streak

Bayern Munich secured a 3-2 victory over FC St. Pauli at the Allianz Arena on March 29, 2025, extending their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table to six points.

The match saw the hosts take control early, with Harry Kane opening the scoring in the 17th minute by converting a well-placed cross from Michael Olise. This goal allowed Kane to complete an impressive feat, having now scored against all 19 Bundesliga opponents he has faced, a distinction held by only a handful of players.

St. Pauli responded ten minutes later when Elias Saad found the back of the net, leveling the score and demonstrating the visitors' resilience. However, Bayern regained the advantage in the second half, largely due to the efforts of Leroy Sané. The winger struck twice, first in the 53rd minute following another assist from Olise, and again in the 71st minute after being set up by Kane, giving Bayern a comfortable lead.

In stoppage time, Lars Ritzka managed to pull one back for St. Pauli, narrowing the deficit, but Bayern held on to secure the victory. The result keeps them at 65 points, maintaining a solid gap ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Looking ahead, Bayern will travel to face Augsburg on April 4 before turning their attention to a Champions League quarterfinal clash against Inter Milan on April 8.
