Bayern’s Perfect Start Ends With 2-2 Draw at Union Berlin After Neuer Handling Error

The captain acknowledged a wrong decision on the opener, citing set-piece and second-ball lapses.

Overview

  • The draw was Bayern Munich’s first dropped points of the season across all competitions.
  • Union Berlin’s Danilho Doekhi scored twice, with his first arriving in the 27th minute after Manuel Neuer failed to secure a low effort from a corner.
  • Neuer told Sky Germany he “made the wrong decision” on the first goal and said the second came from a second ball that required a clearance from Harry Kane.
  • Manager Vincent Kompany rejected blaming his goalkeeper, saying the goals reflected a collective sequence rather than a single error.
  • The display contrasted with Neuer’s man-of-the-match showing in Bayern’s midweek Champions League win over PSG.
