MUNICH (Interstat) — Bayern Munich opened its Bundesliga season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday at Allianz Arena. The hosts scored three times in the first half, with Serge Gnabry opening the scoring in the 25th minute. Nicolas Jackson doubled the lead six minutes later before substitute Loïc Badé headed in a third just before halftime. Leon Goretzka and fellow substitute Ibrahim Maza provided assists. The result defied a pregame projection that forecast a closer match, as Bayern began its title defense with a comprehensive win.
