Bayern's number 42 was ready for a dance. The way Jamal Musiala went past his opponents after 64 minutes during Bayern's 5-2 win away at Darmstadt was yet another one of those magical Musiala moments. Gliding into the centre from the half-right position, Musiala went past five opposition defenders before he scored to make it 3-1 with a left-footed shot. However, this highlight moment wasn't even close to being the only spectacular scene involving the 21-year-old on Saturday afternoon.
Musiala scores Bayern's first
After Darmstadt’s surprise lead, Bayern's nominal left winger, who was actually to be found all over the pitch, had brought the defending champions level following a moment of true willpower by Aleksandar Pavlović.
Dream pass to Gnabry
In the second half, Musiala produced a spectacular solo run before providing yet another standout moment on 74 minutes. The Germany international elegantly danced through Darmstadt's defence in typical style: snake-like movements combined with magnetic ball-handling skills, all the while with his head up and his eyes wide open on the look-out for teammates in better positions, despite his formidable finishing qualities. The result was a dream of a pass to Serge Gnabry who made no mistake to make it 4-1.

“Jamal makes the difference”
The man of the match even came close to scoring a hat-trick when he chipped the ball against the crossbar following a great pass by his friend Alphonso Davies. “Jamal is a player who makes the difference. He is so difficult to stop on the pitch,” said Manuel Neuer in praise of Musiala, while head coach Thomas Tuchel added: “Jamal has been deciding games in recent weeks. We were always happy with him. Now, he feels comfortable in his position and is fit. The automatic moves are coming easier to him, and that's why he is deciding games in our favour.”
