FC Bayern has a bad day at Aston Villa. Hardly anything goes together in terms of play, and in the end Manuel Neuer is wrong. The 0:1 is okay.02.10.2024 | 2:58 min
It was the expected tough test for FC Bayern, and it was lost: the Munich team lost 0-1 (0-0) at Aston Villa on Wednesday evening. A high lob from distance by Jhon Duran, who had been substituted just minutes earlier (79th minute), sealed Bayern’s first defeat under new coach Vincent Kompany.
With his impressive chip, Duran took advantage of the fact that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was too far in front of his goal. After the game he said about the situation: “That’s our game. Maybe I could have stood two meters further back, but then I don’t know if I would have had him. He did very well,” said Neuer at DAZN.
Not everything was perfect going forward, but we had some very good chances and they were 100 percent.
Joshua Kimmich
There were two changes to Bayern’s starting eleven compared to the 1-1 draw in the league against Leverkusen. Coach Kompany initially left Jamal Musiala on the bench for reasons of load management. Kingsley Coman moved into the starting line-up to replace him. Konrad Laimer played for Raphaël Guerreiro.

Kane and Olise fail at Martinez
Bayern had the opening phase to themselves, Harry Kane tested Aston goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for the first time in the 7th minute, who saved the striker’s header from close range. After a quarter of an hour, the momentum shifted in favor of the home team, cheered loudly by the fans in Villa Park – and in the 22nd minute the ball was in Bayern’s goal after a free kick. Lucky for the Munich team that the goal was disallowed due to offside after a VAR check.
As a result, Bayern continued to have significantly more possession of the ball. In the final phase of the first half, the Munich team failed again due to the brilliant goalkeeper Martinez, who directed a remarkable shot to the far corner from Michael Olise with his fingertips over his goal (39th). The break was goalless.
Neuer makes a mistake, Joker Duran stings
Musiala came on for Coman in the second half and Bayern got off to a dominant start again. Aston Villa was under a lot of pressure, a failed attempt at clearance by Ezri Konsa almost ended up in their own goal (51′). In the 53rd minute, VAR was used again after the ball bounced to the elbow of a Villa player, but instead of a penalty, Bayern were awarded a corner.
As a result, the game slowed down a bit, but then Joker Duran stood out: After a long ball from his own half into the path of the Colombian, he saw that Neuer was too far in front of the goal and lobbed it high into the Bayern goal from a distance. Neuer could only watch the ball. Villa Park was now upside down. Bayern pushed for an equalizer but in stoppage time Serge Gnabry (90+1) and again Kany (90+6) failed because of the extremely strong Martinez.
