Bayern Munich: Oliver Batista Meier shines for Heerenveen

Bayern Munich’s Oliver Batista Meier scored on Saturday for his first goal on loan at Heerenveen.

One of the Bayern Munich players to watch on loan this season is Oliver Batista Meier. The 19-year-old winger is playing for Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie. On Saturday, Batista Meier scored his first goal since arriving in the Netherlands. He opened the scoring in Heerenveen’s 3-1 victory over Fortuna Sittard.

Shortly after scoring, he drew a penalty kick to make it a two-goal advantage. Batista Meier made a great run into the box and was taken down by the defender in the penalty area. His teammate Joey Veerman stepped up and dispatch the spot-kick.

Batista Meier played 69 minutes against Fortuna Sittard in his second appearance for Heerenveen. In their opening match against Willem II he played for 74 minutes in the winning effort. He’s been very impressive so far in his opening matches with Heerenveen. There are likely to be more goals to come from Batista Meier as he continues his loan period in the Eredivisie.
