Vincent Kompany could not hide his frustration after his side of Bayern Munich had thrown away a lead of two goals while Bundesliga Wresters Bochum Cam returned to win 3-2.
Bochum, currently 16th in the table, spoiled Bayern’s 125-year anniversary celebrations when Jakov Medic, Ibrahima Sissoko and Matus Bero completed a remarkable comeback after a Raphael Guerreiro Brace had put the league leaders in the front.
The misery of Bayern was exacerbated by the resignation of Joao Palhinha for a reckless challenge on Giorgos Masouras shortly before half -time and Serge Gnabry who was missing at the penalty spot between the goals of Guerreiro.
Bayern’s regular Spot-Kick-Toning, Harry Kane, was one of the 10 changes in the side that Leverkusen defeated 3-0 in the Champions League in midweek.
We lose at home against Bochum.

“Congratulations on VFL [Bochum]. It’s very unpleasant for us, “said Kompany.
“We started well, but we should never get a red card. But even with 10 men we have to win this game or at least not to lose. That didn’t happen today. We are not looking for apologies or apologies, we have lost.
“We will analyze it and take responsibility for that. It is important that we concentrate on the reaction. Even with 10 men we must have the ambition to win the game or at least not to lose.
“We didn’t obtain that. Bochum deserves to feel that they have won, I know how much energy is needed to do that. For us it is now about the next game. “
Asked about his feelings on the red card of Palhinha, Kompany was just as frank.
“It was a red card. It’s an unnecessary discussion, “he said.
“We have a red card, we have lost. We don’t have to talk that much. We have lost and we have to respond to the field now. Of course we are angry. The reaction to this is now important. ‘
