So Bayern Munich beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 despite a red card by Kim Min-jae and a penalty miss by Harry Kane. The win guarantees a spot in the top 8 for the club, which means direct passage into the Round of 16 without needing to play a playoff.

Here are our takeaways from the game:
Vincent Kompany seems unable to reign in Joshua Kimmich.
Why the lineup was baffling.
