video: Hamburger SV 0 – 1 Bayern Munich [Bundesliga] Highlights 2016/17
Joshua Kimmich struck in the 88th minute as Bayern Munich made it eight successive wins in all competitions this season by downing struggling Hamburg 1-0 at the Volksparkstadion.
David Alaba, Javi Martinez, Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski had earlier all been foiled by a series of magnificent saves from home goalkeeper Rene Adler.
But Bayern’s incessant late pressure finally told when Franck Ribery got away down the left and picked out Kimmich, who swept the ball home from close range.
The result moves Carlo Ancelotti’s men three points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table, but they did suffer a blow when key defender Mats Hummels limped off early in the second half with what appeared to be a knee injury.
Defeat was tough on Hamburg, who would have been delighted with a point having come into the game languishing in 16th place after making their worst start to a Bundesliga season for five years.
But Bruno Labbadia’s men will have taken plenty of positives from a spirited and defensively disciplined display, with Adler set to receive most of the plaudits for a magnificent display of shot-stopping.
Nabil Bahoui missed a glorious opportunity to give the home side the lead, shooting tamely at Manuel Neuer having been played in by Bobby Wood.
At the other end, a sweeping Bayern move ended with Adler producing a superb reflex save to parry Alaba’s header, although the Austrian international was subsequently adjudged to have pushed his marker in order to meet Philipp Lahm’s cross.
