This Tuesday, Vincent Kompany’s Bayern faced Bayer Leverkusen in the 1/8 finals of the German Cup. But everything did not go as planned for the Belgian coach and his team. Indeed, the Bavarians lost with a score of 0-1.
Vincent Kompany will not lift the German Cup with Bayern this season. Bayern were eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen in the 1/8 finals. The expulsion of Manuel Neuer in the 17th minute seriously complicated the task of the team led by the Belgian coach…
The German goalkeeper was penalized for a foul on Jeremie Frimpong, who was heading towards the goal. This red card is also the first of the goalkeeper’s career. We had to wait 21 seasons and 923 games.
Bayern, however, managed to dominate despite the red card. But Bayer Leverkusen will finally take advantage of this numerical superiority by opening the score in the 69th minute of play via Nathan Tella, a player that Kompany coached at Burnley. After a superb cross from Grimaldo, the Nigerian placed his header perfectly and put Xabi Alonso’s men in control. The score will remain unchanged (0-1).
