Two goals from Luca Toni and another from Zé Roberto clinched an easy win in the Bavarian derby.
The ‘General’ praised his team for their focus and discipline from the outset, although he did rue a host of missed chances in the second half which almost allowed the visitors a lifeline into the match.
“We had a difficult UEFA Cup tie in midweek, so it was important to find our rhythm again straightaway. I was delighted with the way we took control of our opponents.
“We concentrated hard from the start, and we could have been further ahead by half time” he explained after the match.
“I was very pleased with our approach today; we passed well and put them under pressure. The first goal was simply a matter of time, but we still had to find a way through their packed defence. Luca Toni’s goal cleared the way for us.
“We missed a few chances in the second half, and it was suddenly on a knife-edge when Nürnberg created two or three good openings. But we were very disciplined until the closing stages, although it could have been a close-run thing if they’d pulled one back.”
The win sees Bayern remain top with a five point lead over surprise second place team Karlsruher.
