Bochun stun Bayern to spoil hosts' 125th anniversary
Bochum came from two goals down to stun 10-man Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and spoil their 125-year anniversary celebrations.
Raphael Guerreiro scored twice in the opening 28 minutes, firing in from close range before heading in from Thomas Muller's headed assist.
Jakov Medic smashed his first Bundesliga goal into the top corner to reduce the deficit.
With two minutes of the first half remaining, Joao Palhinha was shown a straight red card for catching Giorgos Masouras on the shin.
Bochum drew level when Ibrahima Sissoko headed home from Felix Passlack's looping ball into the box.
Matus Bero completed a remarkable turnaround, slotting home from close range on the counter as Vincent Kompany suffered only his second Bundesliga defeat since he became Bayern manager last summer.
Jonas Urbig, 21, who made his debut in goal for the injured Manuel Neuer and produced a brilliant save to deny Moritz Broschinski as the away side looked to increase their lead.
In between Guerreiro's goals, Leroy Sane was fouled in the box by Medic but Serge Gnabry hammered his effort against the post as Bayern missed the chance to increase their lead from the spot.
It is the first penalty Bayern have missed this season, with regular taker Harry Kane one of 10 changes to the side after their midweek Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen.
The changes proved costly as the home side fell to their first league defeat since 14 December against Mainz, while it is the first time in 34 years that Bochum have won away at Bayern.
The result means Bayern remain eight points clear at the top while Bochum are two points from safety in 16th place.

Brentford reject €9m Bayer Leverkusen offer for Mark Flekken
Bayer Leverkusen's opening bid for Brentford keeper Mark Flekken has reportedly been rejected. The Athletic currently reports that the 2023/24 Bundesliga champions did not meet the London club's initial asking price of approximately €13m. In point of fact, a lowball bid of approximately €9m was submitted. One tends to assume that a deal will still be reached at some point. The 31-year-old is said to have agreed to personal terms with Germany's red company team. Prior to his move to the Bees, the eight-times-capped Dutch international's entire professional career was spent in Germany. Advertisement An extra €3m amounts to peanuts for Germany's red company team, particularly after completing the sale of Jeremie Frimpong on Friday evening and the mega-blockbuster deal that should see Florian Wirtz move Merseyside for upwards of €130m. Official confirmation may still take time as Brentford will also not allow Flekken to depart before securing a replacement. GGFN | Peter Weis

As much came with a view to Tainta making clear Nico's eagerness to make the move to the Camp Nou this summer. As alluded to above, though, should Barca ultimately opt to move ahead with a move for the Athletic Club standout, they will be forced to beat out stiff competition for his signature. As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano: Advertisement 'Barcelona got clear message from the player on being open to joining the club this summer. Bayern are willing to make an effort, he's still also on Arsenal list while Barça have their chance now.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Talent Bischof raring to go as he names Bayern move 'perfect match'
Bayern Munich's new signing Tom Bischof takes part in his introductory press conference at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, ahead of Bayern Munich's first Club World Cup group match against Auckland City. Sven Hoppe/dpa Teenager Tom Bischof has named his move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich "a perfect match" and does not mind being compared to Bayern and Germany great Joshua Kimmich. The 19-year-old Bischof arrived on a free transfer from Hoffenheim and could make his debut on Sunday in their Club World Cup opener against Auckland City in Cincinnati. Advertisement That would be a week after he got his first minutes for the senior national team in the Nations League match for third place against France, underlining his meteoric rise over the past months. Bischof said at his official presentation at Bayern's camp in Florida that he has been a life-long Bayern fan, and happy to play at the Club World Cup instead of the under-21 Euros in Slovakia. "We are together here for a month. Of course the U21 Euros are something great. (But) I want to find my feet in the team, produce great performances and win trophies. I'm raring to go," he said. Bischof said that other clubs were also interested in him but that "the talks with (board member for sport) Max Eberl, (sporting director) Christoph Freund and also (coach) Vincent Kompany were very good. The system of play suits me very well." Advertisement Freund named Bischof "a really talented player" who "suits FC Bayern very well with the way he plays.' Bischof joins an already crowded Bayern midfield where he will be competing with fellow German internationals Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic as well as Portugal's João Palhinha for playing time alongside national team captain Kimmich. Bischof has been compared to Kimmich by the likes of 1990 World Cup winner and ex-Bayern great Lothar Matthäus. "I have heard the comparison a few times. Jo is an outstanding footballer. I look up to him. And I do believe that our style is similar. But of course I want to play together with him in the centre (of midfield)," Bischof said.
