The current champion in the Champions League Bayern (Munich) skipped his group `A` without any difficulties and will continue to defend his trophy in the 1/8 finals. Tonight, the Germans recorded their fourth consecutive victory on their account, after again beating RB Salzburg with 3:1 at their `Allianz Arena`. The visitors were pretty good, especially in the first half, but did not take advantage of their position, while the Bavarians were ruthless in front and with goals from Robert Lewandowski in the 43rd, Kingsy Coman in the 53rd and Leroy Sane in the 68th minutethey took theirs. The Austrians still reached an honorable goal, and its author was Mergim Berisha in the 73rd minute. Bayern had the first goal opportunity of the match in the 8th minute when Serge Gnabri shot from a distance over the door. After that, however, the guests missed several good positions. In the 15th minute a blunder in the home team`s defense allowed a counterattack, first Mergim Berisha fo und himself in a goal position, but failed to overcome Manuel Neuer, and then in an attempt to add Enoch Muepu shot weakly and allowed the goalkeeperto catch. Just two minutes later, Berisha shot his head close to the door. However, the biggest pass for the Austrians was made by Dominique Soboslay in the 36th minute, when he was face to face with Neuer, but failed to score.

However, the Austrians managed to score an honorable goal in the 73rd minute. Soboslai sent a great pass behind the defense for Berisha, who was close for 3:1.
