Neuer Error Leaves Bayern Held by Union Berlin in 2-2 Draw

He later said he chose the wrong technique because his view of Danilho Doekhi’s shot was obstructed.

Overview

  • Union went ahead in the 27th minute when Danilho Doekhi’s low effort from a Janik Haberer corner slipped through Manuel Neuer.
  • It was the first time Bayern had trailed in the Bundesliga this season, after an earlier Union goal was ruled offside by a narrow margin.
  • Luis Díaz equalized in the 38th minute and Bayern left Köpenick with a 2-2 draw.
  • Neuer said his sightline was limited and that he made the wrong decision to try to hold the ball instead of pushing it away.
  • The result ended Bayern’s 16-match winning run in all competitions, with coach Vincent Kompany and sporting director Christoph Freund backing their goalkeeper.
