Bayern scrape past Elversberg 2-1 as form worries grow
kicker reports Bayern’s 2-1 win over SV Elversberg wasn’t convincing, and they’re still short of last season’s level.
Bayern München took a 2-1 win at SV Elversberg, but kicker’s take—via reporter Frank Linkesch—is that the performance is still far from the team’s best. The match ended with the champions looking tighter than they would want, and with work still to do.
Win, but not convincing
The story kicker highlights is that Bayern escaped with more than they’d like to admit: a narrow scoreline against a newly promoted side. Three points were secured, yet the overall feel is that the team had to find solutions when it should have been more comfortable.
Not back to last season
As Linkesch points out, Bayern still needs to get closer to the level they were at the same time in the previous campaign. In other words, the result helps the table, but it doesn’t fully answer the questions about form.
So the headline is clear: Bayern won, yet the underlying concerns remain—at least according to kicker’s assessment.
