KIEL, Germany (AP) Bayern Munich was knocked out in the second round of the German Cup for the first time in 20 years after losing a penalty shootout to second-division team Holstein Kiel on Wednesday.
Bayern led twice but allowed Kiel to equalize for a second time and make it 2-2 in the 90th minute. After extra time, Fin Bartels converted the winning penalty to give Kiel a 6-5 win in the shootout.
“It’s something that will be remembered for years,” Kiel’s 32-year-old coach Ole Werner said of his team’s upset win.

Defending champions Bayern Munich were sent crashing out of the DfB-Pokal in the second round as second-tier side Holstein Kiel booked their place in the last 16 with a dramatic victory on penalties.
Bayern entered the game in about as unconvincing form as you re ever likely to see from them. They recently lost their second Bundesliga game of the season and have conceded the first goal in each of their last nine league games.
