Bundesliga: Hertha Berlin shock Bayern Munich to go joint top

Bayern Munich were defeated for the first time in Bundesliga under new manager, Niko Kovac, on Friday, losing 2-0 to Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion.

First-half goals by Vedad Ibisevic and Ondrej Duda stunned the German champions, as Hertha held off a second-half fightback to move level on points on top of the league.

Bayern’s missed chances came back to haunt them, when Boateng conceded a 22nd-minute penalty.

Ibisevic stepped up to slot the ball calmly home and put his team in front.

A minute before half time, Kalou found the full-back Valentino Lazaro who cut the ball back to Duda. His first-time shot flew into the roof of the net, leaving Neuer with no chance.
