In the Bundesliga, "Bavaria," "Borussia" Dortmund, and "Bayer" suffered defeats in one round. This situation was last observed in the 2006/07 season during the 20th round. However, there is another aspect this time - all three teams lost at home. 18 years ago, two teams lost away. All three teams sacrificed the round between the Champions League Round of 16 matches, fielding mixed squads.
"Bavaria" - "Bohum" 2:3
Goals: Gerreira, 14, 28 – Medich, 31, Sissoko, 51, Bero, 71.
"Bavaria": Urbig, Boi (Olise, 63), Dayer, Ito (Kimmich, 76), Stanishich, Palinya, Gerreira, Sane (Laymer, 63), Goretska, Gnabri (Musiala, 63), Myuller (Kane, 62).
"Bohum": Xorn, Erman, Medich, Bernardo, Passlak (Gamboa, 82), Sissoko, Vittek (Mashovich, 88), Bero (Losila, 87), Krauss, Xofmann, Masuras (Broshinskiye, 73).
Red Card: Palinya, 43.
The first major sensation is undoubtedly the defeat of "Bavaria." Yes, Vincent Kompany fielded a squad far from optimal, but the result was also influenced by the fact that the Munich team played the entire second half with one player less, as Joao Palinya received a red card just before halftime. However, firstly, the game took place in Munich, and the opponent was an outsider positioned close to the danger zone. Secondly, "Bavaria" was leading 2:0 thanks to quick goals, and between Gerreira's two goals, Gnabri missed a penalty. After Neuer was injured in the YECHL match, the 21-year-old Urbig, who was guarding the goal, conceded three goals.
"Bayer" - "Verder" 0:2
Goals: Shmid, 7, Njinma, 90+4.
"Bayer": Gradetskiy, Ta (Mukiele, 46), Ermoso, Artur (Frimpong, 65), Garsiya, Jaka (Palasios, 46), Tella, Adli, Buendia (Virs, 46), Shik.
"Verder": Setterer, Piper, Velkovich, Yung, Vayzer, Linen (Bittenkurt, 78), Agu, Stage, Shmid (Topp, 90), Byurke (Njinma, 69), Silva (Gryul, 78).
"Borussia" Dortmund - "Augsburg" 0:1
Goal: Gaueleu, 23.
"Borussia" Dortmund: Kobel, Koutu (Rerson, 63), Jan, Shlotterbek, Bensebaini (Bayer, 63), O'zjan, Gross (Zabitser, 75), Adeyemi (Anton, 90), Brandt, Bayno-Gittens, Girassi.
"Augsburg": Damen, Matsima, Gaueleu, Seziger, Volf (Banks, 82), Rejbechay (Yakich, 58), Oneka, Yannulis, Yensen (Komur, 74), Klod-Moris (Mayer, 74), Tis (Essende, 5).
In the middle of the week, "Bayer," who lost 0:3 in Munich and had given up hope of advancing to the next stage of the YECHL, also surprised. The reigning champions lost for the first time since August in Leverkusen (when they finished 2:3 against "Leipzig"). The defeat of "Borussia" against "Augsburg" is not particularly surprising due to Dortmund's unstable results. The current goal for Niko Kovac's team is to reach the places that grant qualification for European cups from the tenth position. The team, which has shown itself in the YECHL in recent seasons, may only participate in second-tier European cups next season. The third place is currently held by "Mainz," who won in Menchengladbach (3:1), accumulating 44 points in the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. This result was recorded with nine rounds remaining in the season.
