Jamal Musiala and Thomas Müller were decisively involved and ensured the turn, as was reported on

After an initial shock, Bayern stabilized and had 70% possession in the first half. Leon Goretzka and the newly substituted Michael Olise pulled the game and made it possible to make decisive goals. Musiala, who scored a goal that was initially not recognized, was frustrated, but he remained crucial. The referee decided in favor of Bavaria when Olise turned a penalty after a foul was punished on Sacha Boey.
