Kompany pleased with Bayern performance despite Union draw

Bayern Munichs 1-1 draw with Union Berlin was a match of two separate stories, the Bundesliga leaders manager Vincent Kompany said on Saturday as he praised his sides performance in a largely one-sided game t the Alte Foersterei stadium.

Leroy Sanes 75th-minute strike was cancelled out by a Benedict Hollerbach goal in a match in which Bayern dominated possession, but were often frustrated by the hosts compact defending.

But Ive been in football long enough to know that this was not a bad performance away from home. We took away the danger for a very long time... In the end credit to the opponent because they fought.

Sometimes when you dont score, its not just because the strikers dont put it in. Its because the opposing defenders, the keeper, they do a lot of things right. And they did.

Bayern had 14 corners in the match but did not make the most of them, with a number of their deliveries being sent into the near post and failing to clear the first man.

Thats been very successful for us this season. Weve scored a lot of goals from corners as well, Kompany said.

In these moments where the corners had a little less potency than normal, the last pass, the last cross, nevertheless, we were still dangerous at the end of it.

We were still in a position to win the game. If everything is not perfect, then sometimes you can still win 1-0, but that wasnt the case today.
