BUNDESLIGA : Bayern catat kekalahan terburuk

BAYERN Munich mencatat kekalahan terburuk mereka sejak sedekad lalu selepas tewas 1-5 di Eintracht Frankfurt yang meninggalkan masa depan ketua jurulatih Niko Kovac berada dalam tekanan kuat.

Juara bertahan Bayern, yang terpaksa bermain dengan majoriti 10 pemain berikutan layang kad merah kepada Jerome Boateng pada minit kesembilan berada di kedudukan keempat liga, empat mata di belakang pendahulu Borussia Moenchengladbach yang menang 2-1 di Bayer Leverkusen.

Ia kekalahan terbesar Bayern dalam saingan liga sejak dibelasah Wolfsburg dengan jumlah jaringan sama pada April 2009.

Kekalahan sedekad lalu itu meragut jawatan Jurgen Klinsmann sebagai pengendali Bayern dan Kovac berdepan nasib sama apabila Frankfurt mudah membenam lawan yang terpaksa beraksi 10 orang susulan Jerome Boateng dibuang padang pada minit kesembilan.

Kovac mengambil alih Bayern pada Jun 2018, memenangi kejuaraan berganda musim lalu.

“Saya tahu bagaimana perniagaan ini berjalan – saya bukan naif,” kata Kovac berkenaan masa depannya.

“Selepas kad merah, semuanya hancur. Sepatutnya ia tidak berlaku dan ia bukan seperti yang kami harapkan. Kami melakukan terlalu banyak kesilapan.”

Gol-gol jaringan Filip Kostic, Djibril Sow, David Abraham dan Martin Hinteregger meletakkan Frankfurt 4-1 di depan selepas sejam permainan.

Robert Lewandowski menjaringkan gol tunggal Bayern di babak pertama, melebarkan rekod jaringannya kepada 10 perlawanan pertama liga musim ini.

Bagaimanapun Frankfurt begitu menguasai permainan sehingga pengendalinya Adi Huetter membawa masuk penyerang ketiga menggantikan pemain tengah bertahan Gelson Fernandes ketika permainan berbaki 10 minit.

Lima minit kemudian Frankfurt meledak gol kelima menerusi Goncalo Pacienca.

Bayern melayan kunjung Olympiakos dalam saingan Liga Juara-Juara pada awal pagi Khamis ini. Mereka di kedudukan teratas Kumpulan B dengan tiga kemenangan berturut-turut, sebelum berdepan Borussia Dortmund di gelanggang sendiri dalam aksi tumpuan Bundesliga.

Dortmund, yang akan melayan kunjungan Inter Milan dalam saingan Liga Juara-Juara pada awal pagi Rabu, melonjak ke tangga kedua Bundesliga selepas jaringan Raphael Guerreiro, Thorgan Hazard dan Mario Goetze memberikan kemenangan 3-0 ke atas Wolfsburg.

RB Leipzig ketinggalan satu mata di belakang untuk menghuni tangga ketiga selepas membelasah Mainz 8-0 hasil jaringan hatrik penyerang Jerman Timo Werner.

Jurulatih Bayern Munich, Niko Kovac kecewa dengan kekalahan terburuk kelab itu.

Ribery bersama trofi dan rakan sepasukan meraikan kejayaan muncul juara Bundesliga

FRANCK Ribery merakam detik ‘istimewa’ ketika dia dan Arjen Robben masing-masing menjaringkan gol pada perlawanan penentuan liga di Allianz Arena awal pagi tadi, tatkala Bayern Munich menewaskan Eintracht Frankfurt, 5-1 sekali gus merangkul gelaran ketujuh juara Bundesliga.

“Ia adalah saat yang sangat istimewa, tetapi juga antara yang paling sukar,” kata Ribery kepada Sky.

“Ini adalah saat terakhir saya di Allianz Arena, bersama penyokong dan dengan pasukan, selepas 12 tahun berada di sini. “Ada masanya untuk semua perkara dan kamu harus menerimanya.”

Perpisahan ala Kisah dongeng bagi ikon kelab itu Robben dan Ribery menyaksikan Bayern mengakhiri kempen liga dengan cabaran luar biasa dua mata di depan pencabar terdekat, Borussia Dortmund yang menewaskan Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-0.

“Kamu tidak dapat menulis final yang terbaik daripada itu,” kata jurulatih Bayern, Niko Kovac.

Sembilan mata di belakang Dortmund pada Disember, Bayern hanya tewas satu perlawanan antara Januari hingga Mei untuk melonjak kembali mahkota juara Jerman untuk kali ke-29 dalam sejarah kelab itu.

Robben dan Ribery, kedua-duanya akan meninggalkan kelab hujung musim ini, dibawa masuk daripada bangku simpanan menentang Frankfurt untuk menjaringkan gol ke empat dan kelima Bayern dan menafikan harapan Dortmund untuk merampas gelaran pada perlawanan penentuan liga itu.

BUNDESLIGA : Cologne 0-3 BAYERN MUNICH | BORUSSIA DORTMUND 6-2 Bayer Leverkusen

Javi Martinez's goal was his first since November 2015

Bayern Munich moved seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with a comfortable victory at Cologne.

Javi Martinez turned home Arturo Vidal's cross for the opening goal, with Juan Bernat lashing home early in the second half.

Franck Ribery fired in a third late on to secure the victory.

Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern have widened the gap between them and second-placed RB Leipzig, who drew 2-2 at Augsburg on Friday night.

Elsewhere in Saturday's games, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his 74th and 75th Bundesliga goals for Borussia Dortmund as they beat Bayer Leverkusen 6-2.

BUNDESLIGA : Bayern held by Cologne, Chicharito scores as Leverkusen beat Dortmund

Xabi Alonso reacts after Cologne's leveller on Saturday.

Cologne became the first team to deny Bayern Munich victory in the Bundesliga this season as they picked up a deserved 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.

Joshua Kimmich gave Bayern the lead five minutes before the end of a first half which the hosts dominated.

It was a different story in the second half, though, with Anthony Modeste bringing Cologne level, and they had the record champions on the ropes but failed to land a winning punch despite going close late on.

The result means both clubs remain unbeaten this season, although Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern left the field for the first time in the league this season without all three points following a previous run of five straight wins.

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored to seal Bayer Leverkusen's 2-0 home win over Borussia Dortmund.

Ahmed Mehmedi opened the scoring after just 10 minutes, heading in Hakan Calhanoglu's cross following a corner, and Hernandez added his fifth goal in the past three games in the 79th minute by turning in another Calhanoglu cross from close range.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang thought he'd pulled a goal back with three minutes to play, but it was ruled out for outside.

Dortmund dropped into third place, four points behind leaders Bayern and one back of Hertha Berlin, who earned a 2-0 win at home over Hamburg to spoil Markus Gisdol's first game in charge.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Dortmund were poor on Saturday, deservedly losing at Leverkusen.

A week after the opening-day defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, Jurgen Klopp's men got off the mark thanks to their fit-again Germany attacker, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Adrian Ramos

Borussia Dortmund kick-started their Bundesliga campaign with an ultimately nervy 3-2 win at Ausgburg on Friday night. Jurgen Klopp's men slipped to a disappointing 2-0 reverse at home to Bayer Leverkusen in their Bundesliga opener last Saturday.

Last season's runners-up were far more assured in Friday's clash at the SGL Arena, although a late rally from the hosts set up a nervy finish.

Marco Reus, who suffered the heartbreak of missing Germany's World Cup triumph last month with an ankle injury, was at his influential best throughout.

The forward combined well with Kevin Grosskreutz - who, alongside goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller, made his first competitive start since the World Cup - to score the opener, before providing the corner for Sokratis to make it 2-0 within 15 minutes.

Substitute Ramos grabbed his first Dortmund goal 12 minutes from time, and the strike ultimately proved crucial as Augsburg hit back with late replies from Raul Bobadilla and Tim Matavz.

Dortmund fired an early warning when Lukasz Piszczek's cross from the right narrowly avoided the outstretched foot of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The opener duly arrived in the 11th minute when Reus collected the ball from deep and worked his way to the edge of the area. He then played a clever one-two with Grosskreutz before sliding a left-foot shot past Marwin Hitz.

Reus turned provider for Dortmund's second three minutes later. The forward's teasing outswinging corner from the right was met by Sokratis, who leapt superbly to head into the bottom-left corner.

Augsburg showed flashes of the form that took them to eighth in the table last season, Piszczek making a particularly fine challenge to rescue Dortmund when Nikola Djurdjic was bearing down on goal.

The visitors remained largely in control, though, and Aubameyang forced Hitz into a smart low save to his left.

Djurdjic should have halved the deficit nine minutes before the break, the Serbian side-footing wide when one-on-one with Weidenfeller.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan flashed a shot wide from the edge of the box on the stroke of half-time and Dortmund's pressure continued after the restart when Erik Durm tried his luck from distance but shot wide.

Sven Bender entered the fray in the 73rd minute and earned an immediate yellow card for a poor challenge on Halil Altintop, Bobadilla putting the resulting free-kick just wide.

The game then appeared to have been sewn up in the 78th minute. Mkhitaryan's shot from the edge of the box was saved and Ramos - a replacement for Grosskreutz - was on hand to stab home the rebound.

Bobadilla gave Augsburg a glimmer of hope when he provided a deft finish over Weidenfeller five minutes later following a fine cross from Abdul Rahman Baba.

Mkhitaryan then thought he should have had a penalty when he went to ground under a challenge in the area from Ragnar Klavan, before Matavz ensured a nervy ending when he registered his first Augsburg goal with a strong front-post header from Baba's left-wing cross in the 90th minute.
