Bayern Munich defeated RB Leipzig 3-1 in a Club Friendlies match on 15 August 2026. L. Diaz opened the scoring for the hosts in the thirteenth minute before Leipzig fought back with a pair of goals from B. Gruda. N. Brown then restored Bayern's advantage with two quick strikes, and J. Musiala added a fourth goal to seal the result.
Bayern started brightly and took an early lead through Diaz, but Leipzig showed organisation in defence. The visitors brought on four players at the break in Raum, Maksimovic, Nusa and Baku, and the change paid immediate dividends. Gruda struck twice in consecutive minutes to level the score at 2-2, and the momentum swung. And here's the thing — Leipzig had the better of the exchanges for a spell.
Brown answered the visitors' surge with two goals in the fifty-seventh and fifty-eighth minutes, putting Bayern back in control. The hosts then settled into a more measured rhythm, with Musiala adding a late eighth-minute goal to cap the scoring. Substitutions came thick and fast in the second half, with both sides rotating heavily. Bayern brought on Kim Min-Jae, Diaz and Ibrahimovic among others, while Leipzig introduced Orban and Lukeba.
Bayern dominated possession at 59 per cent and created two big chances compared to none for Leipzig. The hosts registered four shots on target from seven attempts, while Leipzig were more clinical with five shots on target from eight. Bayern completed 504 passes to Leipzig's 327, and the visitors made more tackles — 28 to 11 — in an attempt to disrupt Bayern's rhythm.
The result extends Bayern's winning run from their recent friendlies, having beaten Aston Villa 2-1 and Stuttgart 3-0 in previous outings. Leipzig's form has been more mixed, with wins over Ferl and Ingolstadt 04 but also defeats to Leeds and Mamelodi Sundowns. The match ended with one yellow card for Bayern and no disciplinary issues for the visitors.
