The scene of the match: Kelvin Lunga won a duel against Javi Martínez in the half of Bayern, took over the right wing drive and drew a sharp cross in front of goal, where Linus Meyer was faster than Rafinha on the ball and the ball over his knee the line squeezed. First goal for Rödinghausen! In the 49th minute suddenly drew the scent of a possible sensation through the stadium at the Bremen bridge in Osnabrück.

The result: Bayern Munich won at SV Rödinghausen 2: 1 (2: 0) and is drafted in the second round of the DFB Cup. Click here for the game report.

The first half: How long would the outsider be able to prevent the goal? The unsatisfactory answer for the neutral football fan: almost eight minutes. Then Rafinha lobbed a ball into the left half of the penalty area, Renato Sanches directed the ball technically strong directly into the middle, where Sandro Wagner could score to 1: 0. In the 12th minute Sanches shook off on the way into the opponent's penalty area first Laurin von Piechowski before Rödinghausen defender Daniel Flottmann took the jersey of the Portuguese and just did not want to let go. Arrived in the penalty area, the Bayern player fell to the ground, the following penalty turned Thomas Müller safe.

In the 23rd minute, the 3-0 could have followed, but Sanches shot the next penalty to the crossbar. The best chance of the hosts missed Simon Engelmann, who came after a catastrophic Rückpass of Müller in the 26th minute free of Manuel Neuer to the shot, but passed right at the gate.

Blue eye made legs: In the first round match at SV Drochtersen / Assel, the Munich still appeared complacent and came late in the game on the necessary pace to win the encounter. That was different from the current second-placed side of the Regionalliga West. From the start, the Bayern let the ball run fast, looking for the direct route to the gate. Just no shivering as in the 1-0 to kick off the cup season. As good as the Bayern began, so strong they let after a third of the game but also again.

Cup time is closed: Mats Hummels, Robert Lewandowski, Arjen Robben, James, Joshua Kimmich and Jérôme Boateng took place on the bench or were not at all in the squad. Instead, junior staff like Paul Will, Meritan Shabani and Seong-hyeon Kim were allowed to fill up the squad. What should go wrong?

Cheering players of SV Rödinghausen

The second half: Just 20 seconds were played, then gave Engelmann the first chance in the second half in the second round. A wake up call for the Bavarians? No way. The Meyer goal (49th minute) made for soft knees in the record Cup winner. Just a free kick from distance by David Alaba (64) wanted to succeed the 18-time titleholders. In the 75th minute, Niclas Heimann defended a shot from Franck Ribéry class. Two minutes before Thiago had to be replaced after a nasty kick by Björn Schlottke.

Opportunities (not) use: Among the field players with the lowest number of minutes in the Bayern squad belonged so far Wagner and Sanches. In the league and in the Champions League coach Niko Kovac currently has to score points and shows little interest in large-scale rotation.

Renato Sanchez

The rare opportunity to advertise on their own behalf, the two wanted to use recognizable. A combination of the two led to 1-0, Sanches took out the penalty to 2: 0 and then wanted to crown his strong initial phase with a penalty goal to 3: 0. The slat shot caused a crack in the game. Afterwards not only unnecessary ball losses and bad offensive decisions predominated. Kovac became increasingly angry on the sidelines.

Rödinghausen is not Magdeburg: Almost to the day exactly 18 years ago, Bayern were subject on penalties at 1. FC Magdeburg - the so far last Cup defeat of Munich in a unterklassigen opponent. This series has continued to exist.

Bayern is not Bayern: Only three goals in the first two rounds of the cup - as weak as the Munich last in the 2006/2007 season. Even after the fourth competitive win in a row Bayern can not dispel doubts about their performance.
