Cup sensation: Freiburg bowls Bayern out!

At 10:39 p.m., joy knew no bounds. SC Freiburg is in the semi-finals after a 2-1 win at record cup winners Bayern! The decision was made literally at the very last second. SCF won in Munich for the first time ever.

The Bavarians started, goaded by the 69,000 spectators, oppressively, but not necessarily in the end. It happened as it had to: The first real chance came from a corner kick. Dayot Upamecano headed in a cross from Joshua Kimmich to give Bayern the lead (20′) – driving Freiburg coach Christian Streich to insanity. Because: The Frenchman had leaned against opponent Maximilian Eggestein like he was leapfrogging, the goal shouldn’t have counted.

It didn’t matter to Bayern and Tuchel. The joy didn’t last long, because Freiburg came back – and how. After Michael Gregoritsch’s first chance (25′), it was Nicolas Hölfer, not known as a goalscorer, who made the guests celebrate. The midfielder sent a Davies defense into the net with a left-footed shot from 20 meters out – a dream goal.

After that, Bayern took control of the game – and then received the shock late in the game. After a handball by Jamal Musiala, referee Harm Osmers decided on a penalty, Lucas Höler kept his nerve against Yann Sommer and shot last year’s finalists a round further (90. +5). “It will definitely go down in history,” said Freiburg’s Matthias Ginter.

For Thomas Tuchel it was the first setback after the gala against Dortmund (4:2) in the second game as Bayern coach. Munich have the chance of revenge on Saturday – then they have to play in the league in Freiburg.
