Heidenheim 0-4 Bayern Munich Player Ratings: Dominant Display by Bayern Secures 4-0 Victory

Another game and another dominant performance by Vincent Kompany & Co. Bayern Munich hardly gave any chance to the hosts to recover from the two goals until the 70th minute after which Heidenheim did try to create some chances. However, the defence was as strong as attack, which stopped the opponent from scoring a goal.

At just 15 minutes, Josip Stanisic found the net with a powerful header. This goal really set the tempo for the entire match. From that moment on, Bayern continuously created threats for the Heidenheim. Before the first half even ended, the game felt sealed. Sportsdunia's player of the match Michael Olise, who was a constant menace, doubled the lead at 32 minutes. His clinical finish pretty much ended the contest.

The second half saw more of the same with English striker Harry Kane unluckily hitting the post. While Heidenheim showed some fight and even hit the woodwork themselves, they never truly looked like mounting a comeback. As the game neared the 90-minute mark, both Harry Kane and Luis Diaz scored, which confirmed that the visitors are taking back 3 points with them comfortably.

Here are Bayern Munich Player Ratings vs Heidenheim

Goalkeeper

Jonas Urbig - 6.5: We noticed he had a very quiet afternoon. Heidenheim rarely tested him directly. His distribution was clean and he claimed what he needed to. It was an easy day at the office for the keeper.

Defenders

Dayot Upamecano - 6.5: A solid if unspectacular performance. He was strong when called upon. We did see him commit a couple of needless fouls. He was substituted later on, but his job was already done by then.

Jonathan Tah - 7.5: What stood out to us was his complete composure at the back. He won almost all his duels and even forced a good save with a header. He looked every bit a top-class defender. A really commanding presence throughout.

Hiroki Ito - 7.5: He was a constant outlet on the left flank. He wasn't afraid to get forward and had four shots on goal. His 91 touches show just how involved he was in Bayern's attacks. We were very impressed by his energy and attacking intent.

Josip Stanisic - 8.0: A fantastic performance from the defender. He set the team on their way with a well-taken header. He also created three chances for his teammates. It was a complete performance, contributing massively in both defense and attack.

Midfielders

Leon Goretzka - 7.0: The engine room of the team. He quietly dictated the tempo of the game. His passing was crisp and he recovered the ball seven times. A very disciplined and effective display in the middle of the park.

Luis Díaz - 7.5: From our perspective he was a livewire. He was constantly running at the Heidenheim defense. Though his shots were blocked he was always causing problems. His energy was infectious and he never stopped working for the team and his hard work paid off when he scored the goal in last few minnutes.

Michael Olise - 8.5: The star of the show without a doubt. He scored a goal and was the main creative force. He created a big chance and his three key passes kept Heidenheim on their heels. Every time he got the ball, you felt something was about to happen. Our man of the match.

Raphaël Guerreiro - 7.0: A tidy and intelligent performance. He kept possession well and made smart decisions. He didn't grab the headlines but his contribution was crucial. He was the glue that held things together in midfield.

Lennart Karl - 6.5: A decent contribution from the midfielder. He created a couple of opportunities before being substituted. He linked up play nicely and worked hard for the team. A solid, if not spectacular, outing.

Forwards

Harry Kane - 7.5: So unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. He hit the post and had two other shots on target. Even without a goal, his presence was immense. He linked play beautifully and was a constant nightmare for the defenders. Scored a late goal.

Substitutes

Serge Gnabry - N/A: Came on for Lennart Karl but didn't have enough time to make a significant impact on the game.

Manager

V. Kompany - 8.0: His game plan was executed to perfection. The team was set up to dominate from the first whistle. They controlled the game, scored early, and never looked back. An easy day's work thanks to his excellent tactical setup.

Goalkeeper

Diant Ramaj - 6.5: He was let down by his defense. He made four saves and prevented an even bigger defeat. From our perspective, he couldn't have done much for either goal. He was a busy man and did reasonably well under the circumstances.

Defenders

Marnon Busch - 5.5: It was a tough afternoon for him. He struggled to contain Bayern's relentless attacks. He made six clearances but was often on the back foot. The game seemed to pass him by before his substitution.

Benedikt Gimber - 6.0: He was fighting a losing battle. The fact he made 10 clearances tells the whole story. He was constantly under pressure but never gave up. A spirited performance in a defense that was completely overwhelmed.

Patrick Mainka - 6.0: The captain fought hard but his team was outclassed. He made a vital clearance off the line to prevent a third goal. Like his defensive partner, he was brave but it wasn't enough. He was just overwhelmed by Bayern's quality.

Jonas Föhrenbach - 5.5: He had a difficult time against Bayern's wide players. He was forced into committing fouls and offered very little going forward. It was a long and challenging day for the defender.

Omar Traoré - 5.0: What stood out to us was how much he struggled. He lost the ball eight times and looked off the pace. It was a really poor performance. A day he will want to forget quickly.

Midfielders

Jan Schöppner - 5.5: He just couldn't impose himself on the game. His passing was erratic and he struggled to keep possession. He was bypassed by Bayern's midfield too easily. It was no surprise when he was substituted.

Luca Kerber - 5.0: A performance we could barely even assess. With only three touches, he was a ghost. Substituted at halftime after making zero impact on the game. One of the worst performances we've seen.

Niklas Dorsch - 6.5: One of the few players who can hold their head high. He tried to get his team playing, creating two chances. His passing was accurate and he worked hard defensively. A glimmer of light in a dark performance.

Forwards

Mathias Honsak - 5.0: Completely anonymous. He offered no threat and was rightly taken off at halftime. He was caught offside and lost possession too often. A very forgettable 45 minutes of football.

Marvin Pieringer - 6.0: He looked the most likely to make something happen for Heidenheim. He was incredibly unlucky to see his shot hit the crossbar. However, he was also wasteful with other opportunities. A frustrating day for the forward.

Substitutes

Stefan Schimmer - 6.0: Came on and also hit the woodwork. Added a bit more physical presence but couldn't change the result.
Arijon Ibrahimovic - 5.5: Showed some nice touches but couldn't find a way through.
Others - N/A: Other substitutes did not have a major impact.

Manager

F. Schmidt - 5.5: His team looked unprepared for Bayern's intensity. The passive setup invited pressure from the start. His halftime changes did little to alter the flow of the game. It was a tactical mismatch from the beginning.

Sportsdunia's player of the match is Michael Olise
