Bayern sweeps Werder Bremen in the Oktoberfest game: Goretzka reaches milestone!

On September 26, 2025, the eagerly awaited Oktoberfest game between FC Bayern Munich and SV Werder Bremen was scheduled for the Allianz Arena. Right at the start of the game, coach Vincent Kompany made people sit up and take notice with a surprising decision: Joshua Kimmich initially had to sit on the bench, while the young Tom Bischof took his place. Leon Goretzka, in turn, celebrated a special anniversary because he played his 300th Bundesliga game that day. A reason to celebrate for the midfield star.

Bayern's line-up was as follows: Manuel Neuer was in goal, supported by a defensive line consisting of Boey, Upamecano, Tah and Laimer. Goretzka and Bischof played in midfield, while the offensive creativity was strengthened by Olise, Gnabry and Diaz as well as top scorer Harry Kane. Minjae Kim had completed the final training, but this important player was not called into the starting eleven.

A confident victory for Bayern

From Bayern's perspective, the game was more than satisfactory. In the end, the team triumphed with a 4-0 win over Bremen. Jonathan Tah scored the first goal with a header after converting a precise cross from Michael Olise. Harry Kane followed up with a penalty goal and extended the lead after he also played a key role in the third goal, which he scored himself - Luis Diaz laid the ball on him. Finally, Konrad Laimer was able to mark the final score of 4-0 and also use the assist from Tom Bischof.

Bremen couldn't do much to counter this evening, while Bayern confidently played down their game. For the hosts, it was all about serving fans a feast during the Oktoberfest season, and this was impressively achieved. However, there were also a few yellow cards, including for Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry.

The coming challenges

With this clear victory, Bayern are now turning their attention to the challenges of the Champions League. Harry Kane, who shone with two goals that evening, could rotate in future games to avoid injuries. However, Bayern have shown themselves to be really strong in the current season and want to maintain the positive trend.

As part of an upcoming reform of the international match calendar, there will no longer be any Bayern home games during Oktoberfest from next season, which recently caused heated discussions. This topic will certainly be a topic of conversation in the coming weeks.

All in all, it remains to be said: Bayern have taken another step towards a successful season not only due to their playing strength, but also the loyal support of the fans at the Oktoberfest game. For Werder Bremen, the task remains to make the upcoming games better.
