Prolific Pizza Completes The Set

Claudio Pizarro’s goal in Braunschweig means the Peruvian closed a gap in his personal career record: going into Saturday’s match Pizza had scored against 17 of the 18 current Bundesliga clubs, but not against the Lions from Braunschweig. The strike takes Claudio onto 83 goals in the Bundesliga and means he draws level with Paul Breitner in ninth place in Bayern’s all-time top flight scorer roll of honour. In the same ranking for the Bundesliga, the league’s most prolific non-German player lies eighth with 172 goals.

Bayern 2-0 Eintracht Braunschweig

Bayern maintained their extraordinary winning run with a workmanlike 2–0 victory over promoted Eintracht Braunschweig in Saturday afternoon’s 14th Bundesliga fixture of the season. The result means Pep Guardiola’s side maintain their lead in the standings, and have now not lost in the league for 39 games in a row.

The 71,000 capacity crowd at the Allianz Arena saw Arjen Robben claim the man of the match honours. The Dutch ace struck a first-half brace for the treble winners, who remain a tidy four points clear of Bayer Leverkusen and seven ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the table. Guardiola’s men are next in action on Wednesday in the challenging DFB Cup trip to Bavarian rivals FC Augsburg.
