SINSHEIM, Germany (AP) – Hoffenheim ended Bayern Munich’s unbeathed 32-game streak on Sunday with a 4–1 Bundesliga victory.
Bayern’s former understudy coach Sebastian Hoene convinced his new team’s concentrated and relentless effort and was rewarded with goals from Ermin Bicakcic, Munas Dabbur and two, adding a penalty to Andrej Kramaric.
It is Bayern’s first defeat at any festival since the 2–1 loss to Borussia Muenchengladbach on 7 December 2019, and Hansi Flick’s third as coach since taking over the Bavarian force on 3 November 2019.
Bicakcic opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a corner headbutt, and Dabbur did the 2-0 8 minutes later. A long shot from Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann seemed to surprise Bayern’s defence. Benjamin Pavard tried to beat Kramaric’s ball, but he fell very well in Dabbur, who calmly threw the ball over Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Joshua Kimmich served one in the 36th, letting it fly from outside the upper corner inside penalty domain, leaving Baumann with no chances.
Flick brought star striker Robert Lewandowski and midfielder Leon Goretzka in the last hour, then Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala, 17, with just over a quarter of an hour to go.
But Kramaric scored at 77, taking Ihlas Bebou’s pass before turning around and passing Neuer on the pole.
Hoffenheim missed opportunities to score before Neuer knocked Bebou out to concede the penalty in extra time. Kramaric changed locations.
The attack was seen through 6,030 spectators. A limited number of enthusiasts have been allowed to play the maximum number of games since last weekend for the first time since coronavirus restrictions began in March.
Freiburg would host Wolfsburg for the last game of the circular moment later.
