German League giants, Bayern Munich, surprisingly lost 5-0 to Borussia Moenchengladbach in the second round of the DFB Pokal 2021-2022 season

The Borussia Moenchengladbach vs Bayern Munich match took place at the Borussia-Park Stadium on Thursday (10/28/2021) early morning WIB. As a result, Bayern Munich, which acted as the guest team, was defeated by a landslide score, 0-5.

The Algerian player Ramy Bensebaini and the Swiss striker Breel Embolo were the main actors behind the defeat of Die Roten, nicknamed Bayern Munich.

They both scored two goals. Ramy Bensebaini found the net for Bayern in the 15th and 21st minutes (penalty). Meanwhile, Breel Embolo scored in the 51st and 57th minutes.

The other goal was recorded by Kouadio Kone when the game had only been running for two minutes. This result is somewhat surprising because Bayern actually lowered the main squad for the match against Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Julian Nagelsmann as Bayern coach lowered Manuel Neuer to guard Die Roten's goal. Then in defense, Julian Nagelsmann played Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecano, Lucas Hernandez, and Alphonso Davies.

In midfield, names like Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka also appeared from the start. They help work the front lines which are filled with famous players, from Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Thomas Mueller, to Robert Lewandowski.

Appearing with the main squad makes Bayern dominate possession, both in terms of ball possession and the number of shots. Bayern recorded 62 percent possession and 15 total shots. Of the 15 shots they launched, eight of them were recorded as shots on target.

However, none of the shots on target were able to be converted into goals by Robert Lewandowski et al.

On the other hand, Borussia Moenchengladbach played more effectively and was able to score five goals from seven shots on target. In fact, they are already three goals ahead when the game has only been running for 21 minutes. Based on Opta Franz's data, Borussia Moenchengladbach became the first team to score three goals in the first 21 minutes when they met Bayern Munich on the DFB Pokal stage.

This result makes Bayern Munich stuck in the second round of the DFB Pokal season 2021-2022. Meanwhile, Borussia Moenchengladbach has the right to advance to the third round or the last 16. - Pokal
