For the first time since a 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig on February 9, 2020, FC Bayern Munich did not win a competitive match and lost one for the first time since a 2-1 draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach on December 7, 2019. On the second day of the Bundesliga, coach Hansi Flick’s team had to admit defeat to TSG Hoffenheim 1: 4 (1: 2).
“There were many reasons for the loss. But in terms of commitment and will, I can’t blame the team at all. The mentality after 120 minutes on Thursday was great. It was clear that we would lose at some point, but mark the game now.” Flick said at the post-game press conference.
On Wednesday, FC Bayern will face Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup. The start at the Allianz Arena is at 8.30 pm.
Hoffenheim, coming from coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who led FC Bayern II to the third division title last season, took the lead in the Bundesliga with a second victory in the second game.
TSG Hoffenheim – FC Bayern Munich: The voices
Manuel Neuer (Captain FC Bayern): “We are not looking for excuses. You noticed last season that there was a game every few days. We know what to expect and we have to accept the situation.”
Thomas Müller (FC Bayern): “The drums, of course, are not satisfied, but I don’t think it is due to today’s physical stories. I think we had enough strength. We also brought some new strength, we don’t need to start the discussion. Of course you have to say that the Hoffenheim team led the duels in a lively and agile way, but I did not have the feeling that we were playing the duels or the balls in the wrong way or that someone’s ears were drooping or that someone’s forehead was sweating at 20 minutes. In my opinion, that had other reasons. Still, we deservedly lost. “
Sebastian Hoeneß (coach TSG Hoffenheim): “The victory means that we are on the right track. Now it has to be a question of refining the victory in the next game in Frankfurt. The important thing is that we stay calm. We are in a process.”
Alexander Rosen (Director of Professional Soccer TSG Hoffenheim): “It was an outstanding afternoon, the 6030 who were there made the atmosphere as if they were 60,000. It was a very special moment, a very special story, considering that the last game in front of the spectators was against Bayern when we lost 6-0 and we had no chance. It’s a game steeped in history for us, even if we have to consider the travel stresses of our opponents. “
Here are all the voices in the game.
TSG Hoffenheim – FC Bayern Munich: the analysis
Flick rotated after the grueling 2-1 nV in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla FC and changed his starting eleven to four positions: Davies, Boateng, Tolisso and Zirkzee started in place of Hernández, Süle, Goretzka and Lewandowski (all bench) . Ulreich also sat on the bench, something surprising, the Nübel in shape was not in the squad.
Unlike what Flick had previously requested, FC Bayern initially did not let the ball run smoothly, but instead faced a savage exchange of blows with Hoffenheim. Both teams quickly crossed the midfield and played almost frantically forward. This development of the game benefited the much more rested Hoffenheim.
With the help of FC Bayern, Hoffenheim took the lead with a double blow in the middle of the first half: first Davies directed a header from Bicakcic into his own goal (16th), then Pavard Dabbur took the ball out on a counter attack to put 2-0 (24 °). Subsequently, the Munich defensive players made some oversights, but Hoffenheim did not use them to a higher advantage. Baumgartner (29th) and Kramaric (31st and 45th + 1) gave good opportunities.
Although FC Bayern had more ball possession, they did not spray a goal danger during long stretches of the first half. Kimmich’s connecting gate with a dreamlike movement from about 20 meters was a relative surprise (36º). Bicakcic was injured creating the goal, for which he brought in Hoffenheim coach Hoeneß Skov.
As nothing changed in the game after the break, Flick reacted and brought in nominal regulars Goretzka and Lewandowski for Pavard and Zirkzee at 57. As a result, Kimmich moved to the unpopular defensive right end. Then came Coman and Musiala.
FC Bayern pressed for equalization as a result, but an actual assault was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim repeatedly provided dangerous relief attacks, one of which Kramaric used for 3-1 (77th). In injury time, he tied twice with a justified penalty and did so 4: 1 (90º + 1).

The star of the game: Munas Dabbur (TSG Hoffenheim)
With a perfect balloon, Dabbur reached the interval 0: 2, with some thoughtful runs in depth and subsequent spikes, ensuring permanent danger and relief. In defensive play, Dabbur was exhausted and recorded the most ball wins by Hoffenheim. Also strong: the Kramaric double packer.
The failure of the game: Alphonso Davies (FC Bayern Munich)
The left-back was allowed to play again from the beginning after two games on the bench, but it did not justify the trust placed in him. Davies made a lot of unusual mistakes with sticks, made the wrong decisions and gave few impulses to the offense. At 0: 1 he directed the ball towards his own goal, on the eve of 1: 3 he revealed a bad moment in the head duel.
The referee: Benjamin Brand
The game was played very hard and heated from the beginning. Brandt had a lot to do, but kept his game as smooth as possible despite the adverse conditions. It was correct to decide a penalty for Hoffenheim after Neuer’s foul on Bebou at 90 + 1.
