Bayern Munich’s streak of scoring in 59 consecutive Bundesliga matches came to an end as they drew 0-0 with newly-promoted Schalke at their home stadium in Gelsenkirchen. Luis Diaz was the closest to breaking the deadlock, missing two prime chances to put Bayern ahead. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany made several substitutions, bringing on Harry Kane and Michael Olise from the bench, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Schalke’s solid defense.
Despite increased pressure in the second half, Bayern's introduction of Jamal Musiala, who had suffered seizures during pre-season matches, didn’t yield a goal. Osimhen scored for Schalke, ending Bayern’s run of top-of-the-table finishes for the first time in 67 matchdays. For Kane, it was another disappointment in his quest for 100 Bundesliga goals.
Bayern will now focus on their Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt on Thursday before hosting Elversberg on September 13.
