Bayern Munich earned a nervous 1-0 win at St Pauli thanks to a sensational 28-metre drive from Jamal Musiala to stay unbeaten and open a five-point lead atop the Bundesliga on Saturday (Nov 9). Bayern, fresh from their 1-0 Champions League win over Benfica courtesy of another goal from in-form Musiala, will go into the international break leading the standings. They have 26 points, five ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig, who did not get past Borussia Moenchengladbach in a goalless draw. Eintracht Frankfurt, who visit VfB Stuttgart on Sunday, are third on 17.
Jamal Musiala's sensational strike earned Bayern Munich a win over St Pauli and took them six points clear of RB Leipzig at the top of the Bundesliga. The German international won the ball 30 yards from goal and took a touch before hammering an effort in off the crossbar after 22 minutes.
England captain Harry Kane had a quiet afternoon, and blazed a strike over the bar from Serge Gnabry's cutback.
Leon Goretzka took aim from inside the box, while St Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj got down quickly to palm away a Leroy Sane strike that looked destined for the bottom corner.
Musiala was sent clear through on goal in the closing minutes but was unable to double Bayern's lead as he had his shot blocked.
Leipzig could reduce the gap to three points if they win against Borussia Monchengladbach later on Saturday (17:30 GMT).
