The win was also their first clean sheet in the Bundesliga since the 5-0 at St.
Pauli in the beginning of April, though they did record one in the DFB-Pokal semifinal win over Bayer Leverkusen after that. Nonetheless, after the 4-3 win at Mainz and 3-3 draw with Heidenheim either side of the two legs in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern was overdue for a win and clean sheet in the league. After the match, Vincent Kompany explained that he was pleased with the continued fight his side showed in both halves that had changes in momentum in different phases.
For him, seeing the desire after the overall aggregate loss to PSG and having already won the Bundesliga was a big positive. “Two different halves. I thought in the first half, maybe the first ten minutes felt like a good start, but on the chances conceded (to Wolfsburg), you have to acknowledge that we struggled in the first half.
Then, I thought, still, it takes a lot of strength again and character, especially with the week we’ve had, to come back out in the second half and to fix nearly everything. I thought our second half was much better and that we just looked like a team that wanted to win here, and we did,” the Belgian manager explained to ESPN’s Archie Rhind-Tutt post match. Jonas Urbig was in goal for the German Rekordmeister and put forth what was quite arguably his best performance in a Bayern shirt since his move from FC Köln — it was on par with his heroics against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
