Bayern Munich crashed out of the German Cup following a shock 2-1 defeat deep into stoppage time against third-tier FC Saarbrücken on Wednesday.
Marcel Gaus scored the winning goal for Saarbrücken in the 96th minute, converting a low cross to spark delirium among the home fans. For Bayern, which has won a record 20 German Cups, it compounded a miserable evening in southwest Germany, particularly after defender Matthijs De Ligt had to leave the field with a worrying knee injury in the first half.
Coman came the closest when his powerful drive was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Tim Schbreiber, but Bayern – which had 18 shots and 75% possession throughout the match – couldn’t find a way through. It proved costly. As the game moved into stoppage time, substitute Tim Civeja found space behind the Bayern defense and crossed to Gaus, who netted an unlikely winning goal for Saarbrücken.
