Bayern Munich 6-0 Hamburger SV
Bayern munched Hamburger like it was nothing as Robert Lewandowski thrilled the online gambling community with a historic performance.
Lewandowski bagged a hat-trick en route to reaching 100 Bundesliga goals for Bayern. He also became their all-time leading foreign goalscorer in all competitions, overtaking Giovane Elber once again.
Right before a ball was kicked, sports betting pundits already expected a Bayern domination. After all, Hamburg have plenty of painful memories against the Bavarians, having conceded 21 goals (losing 8-0 twice) in their last three football games at the Allianz Arena.
And so it proved to be the case, with the reigning German champions going 3-0 up in just 19 minutes.
Franck Ribery opened the floodgates on eight minutes and Lewandowski hit a quick-fire double to put them beyond reach.
Hamburg failed to answer back and struggled for possession throughout. The Bavarians, meanwhile, continued their hot start as Arjen Robben sparked their second-half rampage with a well-taken finish from the top of the box.
A spectacular solo run from Ribery put Bayern 5-0 clear before Lewandowski kicked the ball wide over the crossbar during a late penalty situation.
The Poland international, however, made amends at the death of time and converted another spot-kick to complete his treble.
Bayern remain at the top and restored their 20-point lead over Schalke, who briefly cut the lead to just 17 points after a 0-1 victory over Mainz in this week’s opener.
Hamburg, meanwhile, are still seven points from safety after 15th-placed Wolfsburg bowed down to Hoffenheim, 3-0.
On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen strengthened their bid for a top-three finish after beating Monchengladbach, 2-0, courtesy of goals from Lucas Alario and Julian Brandt on both sides of the interval.
Elsewhere, Augsburg seized a 1-3 win at Hannover, while Hertha Berlin and SC Freiburg shared the spoils in a goalless draw at the capital.
