Bayern 5-2 Wuppertal

By: Angela | January 29th, 2008

Bayern came back in full force tonight with a win over Wuppertal, 5-2. Miroslav Klose gained two more goals. Klose’s goals came at the 14 and 27 minute marks, but were both followed by goals from Tobias Damm (at 26 minutes) and Mahir Saglik (at 29 minutes) evening the score to 2-2. At the half, Hitzfeld had some words with his team and evidently it helped because goals followed by Daniel van Buyten, Luca Toni and Hamit Altintop to secure the win. Thus, Bayern earned a spot in the German Cup quarterfinals.

Today’s matches saw the defeat of Werder Bremen by Borussia Dortmund, knocking them out of the German Cup. On that subject, all I can say is this is a time that Sebastian Kehl should be remembered for his footballing skills, but probably won’t be. Second division Hoffenheim beat Hansa Rostock 2-1 and 1860 Munich beat Almania Aachen 3-2, after overcoming a 2-0 deficit.

I’m looking foward to picking up the season again and seeing where my team will end up.

  Hey, what’s going on with Willy Sagnol these days? France is dying to get him back.

  Laurie: Willy has just gotten back from injury and he played this evening. He’s just starting to make a comeback so I’m sure he’ll be back there in no time.

  Just saw the highlights — looked like a cracking good game. Yay for “Daniela.” With the first corner in Wuppertal’s half, I was surprised by how conservative Bayern were. Only the tall guys (Toni, Van Buyten, Lucio) and Klose were in the box. I wonder if Hitzfeld was nervous or something.

  Another game with Schweini starting on the bench, this time in favor of Sosa. I hope he gets more playing time, somehow.

  Juliet: Schweini is hurt. That may be the reason for little playing time. He is not expected to play much for their opening BuLi game either. He’s having trouble with his thigh.

  Bayern 2007/2008 facts: Not many teams in Germany can claim to have scored two goals against Bayern this season. In fact there are only two and both of them are third division sides.
