Bochum defeated Bayern Munich 3-2, as the champions suffer their second consecutive Bundesliga loss amidst protests. Dayot Upamecano was shown a red card in the match.

Keven Schlotterbeck of VfL Bochum sent the crowd into a frenzy as he celebrated scoring his team’s second goal alongside his teammates. The Bundesliga match between VfL Bochum 1848 and FC Bayern München at Vonovia Ruhrstadion was nothing short of extraordinary.

In a shocking turn of events, Bayern now find themselves eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. This defeat marks the first time in nine years that the German champions have lost three consecutive matches. The game was far from ordinary, with two lengthy delays caused by fan protests.

Bayern initially had control of the game, thanks to Jamal Musiala’s impressive early goal. However, the first interruption occurred midway through the first half when the pitch was bombarded with tennis balls. This 14-minute delay proved to be a turning point for Bochum.

Within the following 10 minutes, Bochum completely transformed the game. Takuma Asano struck a brilliant goal, followed by Keven Schlotterbeck’s powerful header. The momentum had shifted, and Bochum was now in the driver’s seat.

The second half began with another interruption as supporters protested against the German league authority, the DFL. Once again, Bochum responded with determination. Kevin Stoger extended their lead from the penalty spot after Dayot Upamecano received a second yellow card for elbowing Schlotterbeck in the box.

Despite Harry Kane managing to score a goal for Bayern three minutes before the final whistle, Bochum held on for a historic victory. The heroics of goalkeeper Manuel Riemann played a significant role in securing the win. This triumph will undoubtedly be remembered as one of Bochum’s finest moments.
