Sadio Mané made his Bundesliga debut with a goal. But questions over Lewandowski's absence still loom.
A new beginning. Sadio Mané made his Bundesliga debut and did it with a goal. The Senegalese striker scored the third goal for Bayern Munich vs. Frankfurt in the first match day of the 2022-23 season.
In the 29th minute, the play was luxurious and fast at the same time. The 'Bavarians' played how they wanted against Frankfurt, dominating the ball with superiority, and it showed in the third goal that was scored by Liverpool.
