Bayern Munich end 2025 nine points clear at the top after a dominant 4-0 away win over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga
Bayern Munich wrapped up their Bundesliga year with a commanding 4-0 win at Heidenheim. The leaders were never seriously troubled at the Voith Arena. Two first half goals set the tone for a dominant display. Vincent Kompany’s side ended 2025 firmly on top.
The victory keeps Bayern nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund. It also extends their unbeaten away league run for the calendar year. Bayern have now led the Bundesliga standings for an entire year. No other top flight side has achieved that before.
Bayern asserted control from the opening minutes. Heidenheim struggled to escape their own half. The breakthrough came after 15 minutes from a set piece. Michael Olise’s corner caused problems in the box.
Jonathan Tah headed the ball back across goal. Josip Stanisic reacted quickest to nod in from close range. It was a deserved opener after sustained pressure. Bayern continued to dictate possession.
The second goal arrived in the 32nd minute. Bayern capitalized on a loose ball in the area. Olise showed sharp instincts to finish calmly. The winger’s movement caused constant problems.
Heidenheim offered little in response before the break. Marvin Pieringer fired wide with their best chance. Bayern went in two goals ahead and fully in control. The hosts needed a strong response.
The home side improved after half time. Substitutes Stefan Schimmer and Arijon Ibrahimovic added energy. Schimmer came close with a powerful header. The crossbar denied him after 56 minutes.
Bayern still carried threat on the counter. Harry Kane struck the post with a low drive. The visitors remained patient. Spaces began to open as Heidenheim pushed forward.
Bayern put the game beyond doubt late on. Stanisic turned provider in the 86th minute. His cross was met by Luis Diaz. The Colombian headed home to add to his strong debut Bundesliga campaign. He has now scored eight league goals and provided six assists for the club since his summer arrival from Liverpool.
Harry Kane added the fourth in stoppage time. Serge Gnabry played him into space. Kane finished low into the corner. It marked his 100th Bundesliga goal involvement.
Stanisic impressed at both ends of the pitch. He scored the opener and assisted the third. Olise was a constant creative force. His delivery and movement set Bayern’s tempo.
Kane captained the side in Manuel Neuer’s absence. He led by example and made history late on. Diaz provided energy off the bench. Bayern’s depth again proved decisive.
Bayern registered 23 shots in the match. Their expected goals total exceeded four (4.44xG). Heidenheim managed limited clear chances and just one shot on target. Bayern controlled the key moments and over 74 percent possession.
Kane now has 81 league goals and 19 assists in Germany. He reached 100 contributions faster than any player since records began. Bayern have not lost an away league game all year.
The Bundesliga now pauses for the winter break. Bayern return to action on January 11th. They will host Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena. Kompany’s side resume with momentum.
Heidenheim face a tough battle after the restart when they host Koln on January 10th. Bayern, meanwhile, head into 2026 as clear title favourites. Their standards remain relentless.
