MUNICH — By the 69th minute, RB Leipzig were six goals down at the Allianz Arena, and Luis Díaz had a hat-trick.
Bayern Munich finished 6-1 winners on Saturday. Díaz scored in the 12th, 47th and 69th minutes, the first fired into the left corner after Joshua Kimmich threaded a pass through, according to Bundesliga.com’s match report.
It was Díaz’s second Bundesliga hat-trick, after a three-goal game against Hoffenheim last February. Kimmich was quoted by Bundesliga.com conceding that Díaz had “missed a few chances at the start of the season” but saying he “already put up incredible numbers for us last term,” which the same report puts at 26 goals and 23 assists in a season when Bayern won the Bundesliga and DFB Cup.
Harry Kane scored the fifth goal in the 53rd minute, in his 100th Bundesliga appearance. Expected goals, a model’s estimate of chance quality, favoured Bayern 4.27 to 0.62, according to Bundesliga.com’s match report, so finishing did not flatter them. One model is not a verdict.
Andrija Maksimović scored Leipzig’s only goal in added time.
The report carries no post-match comments from either coach, so how Leipzig’s coach felt about the result is not on the record.
