Going into Saturday's game (10-25) against VfL Wolfsburg, Bayern Muenich was in 11th place and in desperate need of a win to stay near the top. The match started badly, with Bayern getting behind by two scores and finally being only one score down by halftime, and finally beating Wolfsburg 4-2 at home to a cheering crowd. These three points moved Bayern from 11th place to 5th place, putting them only 4 points behind first place 1899 Hoffenheim.

Bastian Schweinsteiger had been wanting more playing time for Bayern. He started the game and played for about 75 minutes, when the coach substituted him out. They didn't make eye contact on the sideline. Hopefully, Schweinstiger will get quality playing time as he is a key player on the German national team and always brings excitement in Bayern's matches.
This match capped off a three match victory run. Bayern fans were getting a bit unnerved with the team's lackluster performance this year, especially at the backfield defense. Bayern has won the championship 7 times in the past 10 years, with an impressive championship last season. We Bayern fans have high expectations for this great team, and I am happy to see them on the road to winning again.
