By db-admin
DBasia.news – Bayern Munich goal machine Robert Lewandowski continues his unique record in the Bundesliga. The Polish striker continued to score in the opponent’s goal in the season opener.
Lewandowski has continued his goal-scoring trend in the Bundesliga’s opening weekend for the seventh straight season. Lewandowski scored against Borussia Moenchengladbach during Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw at Borussia Park, Saturday (14/8) WIB.
Lewandowski’s goal also saved Bayern, who was left behind by the hosts. Gladbach’s goal was scored by Alassane Plea in the 10th.
About three minutes before the break, Lewandowski equalized after continuing Joshua Kimmich’s pass.
With this goal, Lewandowski sharpened his own record for opening the weekend goals.
The last time Lewandowski failed to score in an opener was in 2014/15. At that time he had just joined Bayern from Borussia Dortmund. Yes, Lewandowski failed to score on his debut with Bayern.
Apart from setting a scoring record in the opener, Lewandowski now also has the chance to equal Bayern’s scoring record in 11 consecutive Bundesliga games.
Despite his personal achievement, Lewandowski was disappointed that he failed to lead Bayern to all three points in Julian Nagelsmann’s debut as coach.
“Today was a tight match. Both camps each had a chance,” said Lewandowski as quoted from Bayern’s official website.
“Playing here (Gladbach’s home) is always challenging. We played well, but there are many things that need to be improved,” he continued.
