Outcome reported
- VfL Osnabrück took a surprise early lead against Bayern Munich in a packed German Cup match at the Bremer Brücke stadium.
- Bayern recovered before halftime and completed a 4-1 victory over the second-division side.
Vincent Kompany knew the atmosphere awaiting Bayern Munich at Osnabrück’s Bremer Brücke. The Bayern coach had said he had heard “a lot about the Bremer Brücke” before the match, though he did not reveal exactly what he had been told.
The compact stadium is known for its intense mood. Its three standing sections include one called the “Affenfelsen,” or “Monkey Rock,” a place feared by opposing corner takers.
The match briefly turned into the kind of ride the stadium promises. After five minutes, the second-division club scored a spectacular goal and sent the crowd into celebration. Bayern quickly repaired the damage, however, and went on to win 4-1.
