Bayern Munich finished with a 0-0 draw against newly-promoted Schalke on Saturday, marking their first point loss of the season. Despite dominating possession at Gelsenkirchen, Bayern could not overcome a defensive effort led by goalkeeper Loris Karius, who recorded a series of critical saves. The result ends a 67-matchday streak for Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga table. Vincent Kompany started the match with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala on the bench, though all three entered as substitutes in the second half. This match also featured the return of Musiala, who had been sidelined by a recurring neurological condition since last month. For Schalke, the draw serves as their first point of the campaign after failing to secure a result against Bayern for nine years.
