Sunday, 28 October 2012, three days after the 4-0 away win at Rapid Vienna, the Werkself are away to Bayern Munich. The record champions under coach Jupp Heynckes have won the first eight games of the season and are top of the league. Bayer 04 are fifth in the table twelve points behind and the Werkself have not won at FC Bayern for 22 years. In cold temperatures and light snow, the game starts as usual at the Allianz Arena – a dominant Bayern side against the Werkself sitting deep. Our team succeeds in escaping the pressure from FC Bayern as the game goes on. On 44 minutes, a counter-attack involving André Schürrle sees him pick out Stefan Kießling at the far post with a whipped-in low cross leaving a tap-in to put the Werkself 1-0 up.
Constant pressure from Bayern in the second half and a deserved equaliser from Mandzukic on 77 minutes. The two coaches Sascha Lewandowski and Sami Hyypiä bring on Jens Hegeler and Sidney Sam for Andre Schürrle and Stefan Kießling on 83 minutes. Three minutes later, Daniel Carvajal plays a long ball into the opposition penalty area and Sidney Sam, not known for his aerial ability, heads the ball against Jerome Boateng and it rolls into the net to secure a sensational 2-1 victory. A Bayer 04 team wins again at FC Bayern the first time in 22 years.
The line-up: Bernd Leno – Daniel Carvajal, Philipp Wollscheid, Ömer Toprak, Hajime Hosogai, Stefan Reinartz, Lars Bender, Simon Rolfes, Gonzalo Castro (Manuel Friedrich 89’), Andre Schürrle (Jens Hegeler 83’), Stefan Kießling (Sidney Sam 83’)
After a mixed start to the season, Bayer 04 travel to Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach on matchday nine in the 2017/18 season. It is Saturday 21 October 2017. Borussia take the lead on seven minutes and deservedly retain the lead to half-time. Bayer 04 coach Heiko Herrlich brings on Julian Brandt in place of Lucas Alario and within 15 minutes the Werkself have turned the 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead with goals from Sven Bender, Leon Bailey and Julian Brandt. Two more goals from Kevin Volland and Joel Pohjanpalo secure a sensational away victory.
Here is the line-up: Bernd Leno – Panagiotis Retsos, Jonathan Tah, Sven Bender, Wendell, Lars Bender, Julian Baumgartlinger, Kai Havertz, Kevin Volland (Joel Pohjanpalo 79’), Leon Bailey (Karim Bellarabi 84’), Lucas Alario (Julian Brandt 46’)
