Leipzig's Debut in Bundesliga Kicks Off in Munich for RB
RB Leipzig Suffer Heavy Defeat in Opening Bundesliga Game
RB Leipzig endured a difficult start to the new Bundesliga season, losing 0-6 to FC Bayern Munich in a match attended by 75,000 spectators at the Allianz Arena. The disappointing result leaves Leipzig with a lot of work to do, as they finished last season in seventh place.
The game started promisingly for Leipzig, who played solidly in the opening minutes. However, midway through the first half, Bayern took the lead through a goal from Michael Olise at the 27th minute, followed by another from the same player just before half-time.
Leipzig responded with a goal from new signing Luis Díaz at the 32nd minute, but Bayern quickly regained their two-goal advantage. The turning point of the game came in the 66th minute, when Antonio Nusa attempted a supposed consolation goal for Leipzig, but it was disallowed due to an irregularly taken free kick by Castello Lukeba.
The second half saw Bayern take control of the game, with Harry Kane scoring a hat-trick for the champions, with goals at the 64th, 74th, and 78th minutes. New signings Yan Diomande and Rómulo Cardoso failed to make an impact in the game, while Ole Werner, the new coach for RB Leipzig, experienced a bitter debut in his first competitive game.
The next newcomers to RB Leipzig who made their Bundesliga debut in the 2022/23 season are not specifically named in the available search results; however, it is noted that five newcomers could have their Bundesliga debut for RB Leipzig in a match early in the 2022/23 season. Specific names for that season's debuts are not provided.
After the match, David Raum, the national player for Germany, described the game as a "catastrophe". Leipzig will need to regroup and improve quickly if they are to challenge for a place in the top four this season.
