Olise Strikes as Bayern Munich Push Wolfsburg to the Brink

Bayern Munich edged past Wolfsburg with a narrow 1-0 victory in the Bundesliga, thanks to a moment of brilliance from Michael Olise. The result keeps the champions firmly on course for another league title, while Wolfsburg are left staring at a tense relegation battle.
The home side produced an energetic and fearless first-half display, creating several dangerous opportunities but failing to beat Jonas Urbig, who delivered a composed performance between the posts for Bayern Munich.
The visitors also had a golden chance to break the deadlock from the penalty spot. However, in a rare moment of misfortune, Harry Kane slipped during his run-up and sent the ball wide of the target.
After the break, the momentum shifted completely in favour of Bayern Munich. The reigning champions tightened their grip on possession and began to dominate proceedings in typical fashion.
The decisive moment arrived courtesy of Michael Olise. The French winger produced a superb solo run, weaving past defenders before curling a precise finish into the top corner to finally break Wolfsburg’s resistance.
The hosts nearly found a dramatic late equaliser when Mattias Svanberg unleashed a powerful effort in the closing stages, but the woodwork denied him and preserved Bayern Munich’s slender advantage.
