Bayern Munich secured a vital 3-1 victory against St. Pauli, with late heroics from Diaz and Jackson. St. Pauli took an unexpected early lead through Andreas Hountondji, but Raphael Guerreiro equalized for Bayern before halftime. The match remained level until deep into stoppage time.

Former Liverpool forward Diaz emerged as the match-winner, heading home Joshua Kimmich's cross in the dying moments. Substitute Nicolas Jackson, on loan from Chelsea, then added a third goal to seal the win. This dramatic turnaround ensures Bayern maintains its dominant position at the top of the league.

The crucial three points moved Bayern eight points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig, who were held to a draw. This win also served as a strong response following their recent 3-1 Champions League loss to Arsenal.
