Bad evening for Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich this evening with the elimination in the round of 16 of the German Cup against Bayer Leverkusen with a score of 1-0. A real blow for the Bavarians who were deprived of their scorer Harry Kane, injured in the thigh and absent for two weeks. A meeting that will go down in history but not in a good way for Manuel Neur because he received the first red card of his career in the 17th minute. On a long through ball from Jonathan Tah, aimed at Jeremie Frimpong behind the Munich defense, the German goalkeeper misjudged the trajectory of the ball and collided with the Dutch piston. A gross foul and a red card issued without hesitation by the match referee Harm Osmers. A very premature expulsion with the exit of Sané for Daniel Pertez in goal but the Bavarians cracked in the 69th minute with Nathan Tella's goal. The 38-year-old goalkeeper reacted after the match. “It was decisive in the match. We suffered from this and I am sorry. I apologized to the team. I was still hoping for a little offside in this situation. I can't change it anymore. It was a mistake and I have to accept it, I have no other choice. »
