Sometimes the better team just gains the momentum in a match and uses it to steamroll the opposition. Bayern Munich’s incredible 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb certainly demonstrated the fickle nature of momentum and its’ helpful nature, as a sudden loss of momentum found Bayern nearly giving up a 3 goal lead within a few minutes, before riding a wave to coast to the final 9-2 scoreline.
Bayern’s official website captured Zagreb’s coach Sergej Jakirović detailing how it all went down: “It was a difficult evening for us. Bayern are in a different league. We didn’t play well in the first half and Bayern didn’t give much away. After half-time, we got it back to 3-2 and had the chance to equalise. However, we were inferior physically and Bayern recognised the spaces. We were punished for every mistake we made. It’s a lesson for us. Bayern were on a top level. Congratulations on the win.”
A job well done later, Bayern can sit back and enjoy the momentous win.
