Vedad Ibisevic and Ondrej Duda both struck in the opening 45 minutes as Hertha Berlin shocked Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Match Events

14' CHANCE! Boateng's header wide out

James' corner from the left finds the head of Boateng, who leaps away from Kalou and narrowly misses the top-left corner of the net!

23' Penalty Goal! Hertha BSC 1-0 Bayern (Ibisevic)

Ibisevic sends Neuer the wrong way, sending his spot-kick into the left side of the net. That's his fourth Bundesliga goal of the season.

44' GOAL! Hertha BSC 2-0 Bayern (Duda)

DUDA MAKES IT 2-0!! Hertha quickly get up the other end and Kalou sends Lazaro to the byline. He cuts a first-time pass back to Duda and he rifles emphatically into the roof of the net!

48' A yellow card is shown to Kimmich for cynically pulling down Kalou after the former Chelsea man got the better of him and threatened to break clear.

68' HOW HAS IT NOT GOINE IN?! A corner from Kimmich is guided on target by the head of Boateng at the near post. Kraft flings an arm in the way and neither Lewandowski or James can add a finishing touch, with Stark ensuring Gnabry is unable to follow up.

Match Reports

Niko Kovac suffered his first defeat as Bayern Munich boss as the Bundesliga champions slipped to a concerning 2-0 loss away at Hertha Berlin on Friday.

Held to a 1-1 home draw by Augsburg in midweek, the return of Robert Lewandowski, James Rodriguez and a raft of regulars failed to prevent Bayern from dropping points for a second successive outing.

They were disjointed in defence and uncharacteristically wasteful in attack as Vedad Ibisevic's 23rd-minute penalty and a shot from Ondrej Duda on the stroke of half-time gave the home side their first victory against the Bavarian giants in 15 league meetings.
