Bayern Munich secured their eighth consecutive league victory on Sunday when they defeated Union Berlin 4-1 in the Bundesliga. The result was a significant boost for the Bavarian giants who have been in contention for the title since the start of the season.

The match began brightly as Bayern took control of the game from the outset. Notable performances came from forward Karim Benzema and midfielder Joshua Kimmich, both of whom put the hosts ahead after just eight minutes. Benzema's first goal was a well-taken header, while Kimmich added a second with a clever cross into the box.

Union Berlin were unable to respond quickly enough and Bayern continued to dominate the midfield. They capitalized on their dominance by adding more goals. Robert Lewandowski scored his fifth goal of the season in the 22nd minute, finishing off a fine move involving Kimmich and Thomas Müller. In the 38th minute, Christian Pulisic found space in the box and rifled the ball home to make it 3-0.

As the half-time whistle blew, Bayern had a comfortable lead. However, Union Berlin refused to give up. They pushed hard for an equalizer but were unable to break through Bayern's defense. In the final third, Erling Haaland had a shot that went wide, while Kai Havertz's effort was saved by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

In the second half, Bayern continued to apply pressure on Union Berlin. Thiago Alcantara and Serge Gnabry both hit the woodwork before Neymar managed to find the back of the net in the 79th minute to secure the win. The Brazilian forward's goal was a perfect finish, sweeping the ball past goalkeeper Marc Bartra to send the match to extra time.

Extra time proved to be a crucial period for both teams. Bayern continued to press and finally broke down Union Berlin's defenses in the 115th minute. Julian Nagelsmann's team played out a thrilling finish, with a last-minute penalty kick coming to Bayern's rescue. The goalkeeper made an excellent save to deny Union Berlin's attempt at扳 even, leaving the Bavarians with a clean sheet.

With this victory, Bayern Munich extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to nine matches. The clean sheet is particularly impressive considering the quality of opposition they faced, including champions Borussia Dortmund and leaders RB Leipzig. This performance has given fans hope that Bayern Munich can continue to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga this season.
