Germany star Jamal Musiala scored a first-half screamer as German Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich fought hard to win at St. Pauli 1-0 on Saturday.

After 22 minutes, Musiala, a Bayern Munich attacking midfielder since 2020, won the ball after tackling his opponent and then scored a long-range goal to give the visitors a 1-0 lead at Hamburg’s Millerntor Stadium. St. Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj plunged but Musiala beat him.
