18 minutes. Robert Lewandowski didn’t need more time to score his first goal of the new calendar year. The 33-year-old Pool left Sommer without a chance with a hard shot from the large rectangle.
There seemed to be no problem for leader Bayern, which is missing 12 players due to the corona virus, the Africa Cup and injuries, but before halftime things went completely wrong for the authoritarian leader in the Bundesliga.
Mönchengladbach’s first two chances were both good for a goal. Neuhaus and Lainer took care of the surprising 1-2 halftime score.
After the coffee, Bayern did everything they could, but they were unable to score. The young Wanner, at 16 years and 15 days the youngest Bundesliga debutant ever at Bayern, could no longer make the difference.
Bayern lose for the second time this season to Gladbach, previously it was 5-0 in the German Cup. The Bundesliga first leg ended in a 1-1 draw.
