Kane goal not enough as Bayern Munich lose again

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich has suffered defeat for the third time in the span of nine days.

Bayern Munich faced their third defeat within nine days despite Harry Kane's last-minute goal in Bochum where he led as the captain of England.

The team of Bayern managed to score first with the help of Jamal Musiala, but then the game was paused twice due to fans' demonstrations.

Bochum netted a total of two times, thanks to Takuma Asano and Keven Schlotterbeck's goals.

Kevin Stoger scored a penalty to increase the score to 3-1, following Dayot Upamecano's red card. Unfortunately, despite Kane managing to score his 25th goal of the season in the league, it didn't change the outcome of the match.

Bayern, coached by Thomas Tuchel, are currently trailing behind Bayer Leverkusen by a margin of eight points in the Bundesliga standings.

Tuchel seems to think that it's unlikely for them to win the Bundesliga title, but he also said that they won't lose hope because that's what happened to them last season. They worked hard and it paid off. So, they will continue to work hard to achieve their goal.

Bayern Munich has won the German championship in the last 11 consecutive seasons, but there is a chance they might not be going home with any trophies at the end of the current season.

In August, they were defeated in the German Super Cup and later on in November, they were eliminated from the German Cup during the second round by Saarbrucken, a team from the third-tier league.

Tuchel's team suffered a defeat of 3-0 in their game against Leverkusen on February 10. Additionally, they lost 1-0 against Lazio in the first leg of their last-16 tie in the Champions League during the midweek.

Tuchel mentioned that he was feeling the weight of the situation after his team experienced their third defeat. He also remarked that this is a common occurrence after each loss.

The manner in which we played is crucial. We performed well in this regard, and consequently, these 90 minutes stand out in contrast to the second half at Lazio or the match at Leverkusen.

Bayern's recent loss marked the initial occurrence of three consecutive defeats since May 2015 under the leadership of Pep Guardiola.

"Bundesliga Matches See Increasing Protests"

During the middle of the first half and at the beginning of the second half, there were two times when the game had to be paused for almost 10 minutes due to demonstrations from the fans. The fans hurled tennis balls onto the field to express their discontent.

Demonstrations are becoming a habitual happening at Bundesliga games, as fans are dissatisfied with an investment plan put forth by the German Football Association.

In the month of December, the proposal to trade some Bundesliga TV rights for investment capital got approved by a majority vote of German clubs. However, this move has led to protests of different kinds since then.

During the weekend, a football game in the German league Bundesliga 2, which was being played between Hansa Rostock and Hamburg, faced an unexpected situation - toy cars controlled by remote that carried smoke bombs were deployed and brought a halt to the match.

In the Borussia Dortmund section during their game against Freiburg, fans tossed tennis balls and chocolate gold coins onto the field, leading to a 10-minute hold-up.

Last Friday, February 9th, a demonstration occurred at a Hannover match when Hamburg supporters attached six locks to the goal and net during the half-time break, resulting in a delay as they had to be removed before the game could continue.

Kane Keeps Achieving Scoring Records

Musiala was the one who managed to score the initial goal for Bayern with a remarkable shot. Nevertheless, Bayern had to suffer two consecutive goals against them in just five minutes following the first time stoppage.

Upamecano received his second yellow card and was sent off for hitting Schlotterbeck with his elbow. This is the second time he has been sent off within five days, as he was previously red-carded against Lazio. As a result of the penalty conversion by Bochum, they went ahead with a 3-1 lead.

Kane, who is leading the Bundesliga in goal-scoring, managed to score a goal towards the end of the game. However, his team was unable to score another goal to tie the game.

He was able to establish a new milestone by being the fastest player to score 25 goals in a single Bundesliga season. He achieved this feat in only 22 games, surpassing the previous record set by Erling Haaland, who used to play for Borussia Dortmund.

Kane, who transferred from Tottenham for a whopping £86.4m the previous summer, has yet to secure a significant championship in his profession. Hence, he's anticipating that Bayern will overtake Leverkusen and transform their European shortfall.
