Nicolas Jackson on target to help Bayern Munich cement lead

Senegal international Nicolas Jackson was among the goals as FC Bayern hammered St. Pauli 5-0 on Saturday to extend their lead in the Bundesliga to 12 points.

Jamal Musiala handed Bayern an early lead, with Leon Goretzka, Michael Olise, Jackson and Raphaël Guerreiro scoring after the break. It meant Munich broke the Bundesliga’s single-season scoring record with 105 goals this campaign.

Bayern were dominant throughout and took an early lead when Laimer’s cross found Musiala, who headed home.

Jackson returned to starting XI after red card

It was Bayern’s 101st goal this campaign, equalling the Bundesliga record from 1971-72. Jackson’s deflected shot hit the bar before Olise fired wide from 15 yards as the Bavarians pushed for more.

Back in the starting lineup after his sending-off against Bayer Leverkusen, Jackson boosted his stats in a Bayern Munich shirt.

The goal was the first in the league since March 6 for Jackson who has combined for three goal involvements, 12 shots and four chances created over his last three league appearances.

Bara Sapoko Ndiaye handed Bayern debut

During the game, Senegalese midfielder Bara Sapoko Ndiaye was handed his first start by manager Vincent Kompany. Having arrived at Bayern last winter from Gambinos Stars Africa, the Senegalese midfielder played the final five minutes of the match.

The former Grasshopper Zurich player, who had been sidelined with an injury since his arrival in Bavaria, has thus officially launched his adventure with Bayern Munich.

Gambinos Stars Africa is a football academy from Gambia that has been cooperating since 2023 with Red&Gold Football, a joint venture between FC Bayern and Los Angeles FC.

The victory took Bayern onto 76 points, 12 clear of Borussia Dortmund with five matches to go. Kompany’s team will be back in action on Wednesday when they entertain Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
