Bayern Múnich lose 67‑match lead as Schalke hold them to draw
At the Veltins-Arena on Jornada 2, Bayern Múnich were held to a 0‑0 Empate by Schalke, ending a 67‑match run at the top of the Bundesliga and marking their first goalless league game since February 2025. The stalemate left both sides with a single point and sparked immediate speculation about the champion's vulnerability.
Miron Muslić set up a compact defensive shape that frustrated the Bayern attack, while Loris Karius emerged as a key figure between the posts. Harry Kane was denied on several occasions, underscoring the difficulty of breaking the Schalke wall. The match report was filed by AP.
Streaks shattered
Vincent Kompany’s side not only lost the league lead after 67 consecutive matchdays at the summit, they also saw a 59‑game scoring run come to an end – the first time Bayern failed to find the net in a Bundesliga fixture since February 2025, when a similar 0‑0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen occurred.
Since that February encounter, Bayern had amassed an avalanche of 161 goals in 47 league games, a record that highlighted their usual potency. The goalless night therefore represented a rare blemish on an otherwise prolific offensive record.
League picture and upcoming test
SC Friburgo now sit top of the table on six points, sharing the lead with Borussia Dortmund and Elversberg, while Bayern Múnich sit on four. Bayer Leverkusen trail on three points, as do Augsburg, RB Lipsia, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen. The next challenge for the Bavarians comes against SV Elversberg, a newly promoted side that has won its first two league matches with 100 percent effectiveness and a remarkable seven‑goal haul.
Elversberg’s attacking display makes them the first promoted club in Bundesliga history to score seven goals across its opening two games, a statistic that could test Bayern’s defensive adjustments after the Schalke setback.
