They seemed untouchable in the Bundesliga. With a nine point lead over Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich seemingly freewheeled to a tenth consecutive German league title.
Who would have seen a pandoering in Bochum coming?
Robert Lewandowski nevertheless quickly put the leader in a seat with the opening goal, but then it was Bochum who suddenly unpacked with improbable total football.
The midfielder – with not even half of Bayern’s points before this afternoon – probably played the best first half in his club history. Antwi-Adjei and Locadia first turned the backlog.
And before the break, Gamboa and Holtmann made it 3-1 and 4-1 with phenomenal goals. Bochum thus became the first team since 1975 to score four goals against Bayern.
In the second half there was no continuation of 45 crazy minutes. Bochum checked his lead, but saw Lewandowski strike a second time fifteen minutes before the end.
It couldn’t dampen the revelry at the home side. Bayern can see Borussia Dortmund approach six points tomorrow.
