Diaz impresses in nervy Bayern win: player ratings at a glance | OneFootball

FC Bayern celebrates their second victory on matchday 2. The Munich team wins 3:2 at FC Augsburg and, after leading 3:0, has to sweat it out in the end. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside player ratings.

Manuel Neuer: Hardly had to defuse any chances, but was powerless on the conceded goal. Neuer, however, played several fine passes during the build-up. Rating: 3.

Konrad Laimer: Was lucky that his failed clearance attempt just before halftime during a corner didn’t become more dangerous. Laimer beautifully set up Diaz for the 2:0 just before the halftime whistle. The Austrian then failed to score with a chip against goalkeeper Dahmen. Laimer was late against goal scorer Jakic for the 1:3. Still, a good and very committed game from Laimer. Rating: 2.

Dayot Upamecano: Was not challenged for a long time, but didn’t look good together with Tah before the 1:3. Otherwise, a decent performance from Upamecano. Rating: 3.

Jonathan Tah: Couldn’t prevent the assist for the 1:3 together with Upamecano. However, he won several strong duels and cleared a few dangerous balls in the final phase. Rating: 3.

Josip Stanisic: Joined the attack more often during Bayern’s dominant phases at the start of the match. The interplay with Diaz worked well. Towards the end, Stanisic was more required in defense and stood firm. Rating: 3.

Joshua Kimmich: Often picked up the ball deep in his own half. Wasn’t able to make as much of an impact offensively as usual. Slightly and unfortunately deflected Kömür’s shot for the 2:3. Still a solid game from Kimmich. Rating: 3.

Leon Goretzka: Wasn’t particularly noticeable, but delivered a solid and error-free performance until his substitution. Rating: 3.

Michael Olise: Early on, received a ball from FCA keeper Dahmen at his feet, then tried a shot at the empty goal, but the goalkeeper managed to recover and save. Olise then tested Dahmen again with a low shot. Shortly after the start of the second half, the Augsburg keeper could do nothing: Olise weaved through the Augsburg defense and coolly slotted in for the 3:0. That was top class. Olise also caused a lot of danger otherwise and had many good actions. Rating: 2.

Serge Gnabry: Was relatively inconspicuous for much of the first half, but then made a spectacular entrance with his beautiful header for the 1:0 after a cross from Kane. Was also involved in several Bayern attacking moves afterwards. Good game from Gnabry. Rating: 2.

Luis Diaz: Missed a huge chance in the 1st minute when he couldn’t put the ball in the empty net after an assist from Olise. But then scored with his left foot just before halftime after an assist from Laimer. Covered a lot of ground and showed real fighting spirit. Was chosen as man of the match. Rating: 2.

Harry Kane: Set up the 1:0 for Gnabry with a classy cross. Provided his second assist of the game for Olise’s 3:0. Kane was committed up front and worked hard defensively as well. A spirited performance from the superstar. Rating: 2.

Substitutes:

Aleksandar Pavlovic (70th for Goretzka): Played it safe after coming on. Didn’t produce any special highlights. Rating: 3.

Sacha Boey (70th for Laimer): Was disoriented in the box for the 2:3 conceded goal. Shortly after, blasted the ball well over the goal. Overall, was not an asset after coming on. Clashed with Augsburg’s Fellhauer in a header duel during stoppage time, but no malicious intent can be attributed to the Frenchman. Rating: 5.

Rapahel Guerreiro (86th for Gnabry): Came on too late for a rating.
