German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich suffered their biggest defeat since 1978 as Borussia Monchengladbach thrashed them 5-0 in the German Cup second round. The home team Borussia Monchengladbach opened the scoring in the first two minutes of the game.
Borussia Monchengladbach opened the scoring in the early minute of the game, at the 21st minute the goals were already three. Kouadio Kone slotted home his first goal for the club before Ramy Bensebaini swept home Jonas Hofmann’s cross and then netted a penalty.
Breel Embolo took advantage of a defensive error for the fourth and then his second from Luca Netz’s pass. It was a big shock for the German Champions and speaking about the lost Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic who is an ex player of the club said: “I’m absolutely shocked. We simply didn’t turn up.”
He also said: “We were just not there. We did not win a single tackle or challenge in the entire first half.” “Everything that could go wrong went wrong. We let ourselves be outplayed in every situation a collective blackout.”
Borussia Monchengladbach scored with five of their six shots on target even though Bayern had more possession and more efforts than the hosts without scoring.
The defeat is Julian Nagelsmann second defeat since taking the job, and it ends his scoring in 85 consecutive games.
The last time Bayern lost a game by a five-goal margin was 43 years ago when Fortuna Dusseldorf beat them 7-1 in the Bundesliga.
