Bayern Munich squandered a two-goal lead to slump to a shock 3-2 loss at Heidenheim on Saturday that all but dashed the Bavarians’ slim Bundesliga title hopes with six games left to play.
Bayern Munich is a guest of Heidenheim in round 28 of the Bundesliga. The Gray Tigers are ranked 2nd on the rankings, 13 points behind Bayer Leverkusen
After the opening whistle, Bayern Munich immediately pressed forward. However, the away team was very stuck in front of Heidenheim’s “concrete” block
In the following minutes, Heidenheim actively held the ball, reducing the pace of the match, making it impossible for Bayern Munich to comfortably attack like before.
By the 38th minute, Bayern had broken through the Heidenheim defense with a smashing situation right in the middle. Gnabry escaped and passed the ball for Harry Kane to neatly score to open the score
With his recent goal, Kane has scored 41 goals in 41 matches for Bayern Munich and England this season.
7 minutes later, Alphonso Davies escaped down the left wing and crossed the ball for Serge Gnabry to head in to double the gap.
This is Gnabry’s third goal in 6 matches since returning from injury. The German striker’s goal was also the final highlight of the first half. The two teams left the field with a score of 2-0 in favor of Bayern.
Right at the beginning of the second half, Heidenheim suddenly shortened the score in the 50th minute. Kevin Sessa escaped to face Sven Ulreich and then shot into the near corner and into the away team’s net.
Still stunned after the loss, Bayern Munich conceded a second goal. Jan-Niklas Beste accurately crossed the ball for Tim Kleindienst to cushion the ball to equalize 2-2.
Bayern quickly pushed their team higher. Harry Kane had 2 very good opportunities to score but missed both
In the 79th minute, from a counterattack, Marvin Pieringer crossed for Kleindienst to cushion the ball into Ulreich’s net, helping Heidenheim take the lead for the first time in this match.
In the match at the same time, Bayer Leverkusen won. Thus, Bayern was 16 points behind Die Werkself. The Gray Tigers have almost raised the white flag in the Bundesliga championship race this season.
