Bayern Munich secured the unofficial title of "autumn champions" in the Bundesliga with a convincing performance. The record champions capped off the year with a clear 4-0 (2-0) victory away at 1. FC Heidenheim, underlining their dominance in the first half of the season. Despite numerous absences, coach Vincent Kompany's team controlled the match from the outset and barely allowed the hosts any room to maneuver.
Josip Stanisic gave Bayern an early lead after a corner, winning the header in the penalty area. Bayern remained dominant and doubled their advantage after just over half an hour: following a clearance, Hiroki Ito delivered another dangerous cross, and Michael Olise reacted quickest to slot home for 2-0. After the break, Heidenheim improved somewhat and were unlucky to hit the crossbar, but Bayern maintained control.

In the closing stages, Luis Díaz headed in the decisive goal, before Harry Kane sealed the victory with a well-placed low shot in stoppage time. With this convincing win, Bayern Munich go into the remaining first-half matches with a comfortable lead, while Heidenheim remain stuck at the bottom of the table after their tenth defeat of the season.1.
