On a chilly evening in Munich, Bayern faced off against Bochum in a thrilling match that had fans on the edge of their seats. The game started off with both teams showing great determination and skill, but it was Bayern who struck first with an early goal from star striker Robert Lewandowski. Bochum quickly responded with a goal of their own, leveling the score at 1-1. The back and forth action continued throughout the match, with both teams creating numerous scoring opportunities.
In the end, it was Bayern who emerged victorious with a late goal from midfielder Joshua Kimmich securing a 3-2 win. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric as fans celebrated their team's hard-fought victory. This match served as a reminder of the excitement and unpredictability that football brings, leaving spectators eagerly anticipating the next showdown between these two talented teams.
Now eight points adrift of still-unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen, this oddly unfocused and disordered Bayern team do not look as if they can keep up with, let alone overtake, Xabi Alonso’s men. Their Champions League future hangs in the balance, too, after the 1-0 away defeat against Lazio last Tuesday in the first leg of their round of 16 tie.
Ten minutes into the second half the players left the field again, due to more supporter protest aimed at German league authority the DFL, and once more Bochum reacted the better side with Kevin Stoger extending the lead from the penalty spot after Dayot Upamecano was given a second yellow card for elbowing Schlotterbeck in the box.
It was the second time in three days that Upamecano was shown his marching orders after being sent off in the 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League last 16.
Harry Kane, who missed two other gilt-edged chances, nudged home from close range three minutes from time, but Bochum held on for a famous victory which lifts them nine points clear of the relegation zone - not least due to heroics from goalkeeper Manuel Riemann.
Takuma Asano equalized in the 38th after playing a one-two with Anthony Losilla, and Keven Schlotterbeck put the home side in front with a header to a corner before the break.
More tennis balls followed in the second half, and Bayern’s struggles continued when the game resumed. Tuchel sent on Leroy Sané and new signing Bryan Zaragoza for the last half hour.
Many fans want the DFL’s proposed deal scrapped entirely as they are worried about the influence any investor could have on the league. As a first step, many are calling for the December vote that narrowly approved the deal to be re-run, this time with club executives voting publicly.
