Bayern were made to work hard for their 5-2 win against Wuppertal with the scoreline not telling the whole story of the game. Bayern twice took the lead in the first half only for the ‘home’ side to hit back. Eventually, the Bavarian’s quality shone through as they hit three unanswered second half goals.
Ottmar Hitzfeld was dissatisfied with the first half showing from his side, bur much more satisfied with the second period.
"We've seen a cracking Cup tie tonight" Hitzfeld said. "Wuppertal made life extremely difficult for us; they went right to the limit, especially in the first half.
"They ran and ran; they tackled aggressively and played with a huge amount of heart. The fact they managed to equalise twice made the situation very difficult for us.
"We were careless and inattentive for their goals. Our tackling was nowhere near what I expect in the first half" he blasted.
"We applied a lot more pressure after the break and stopped our opponents coming back into the match. It was definitely a great game for the fans" he added.
Bayern manager Uli Hoeneß revealed after the match how some choice words at half time woke his side up.
"We couldn't believe our eyes when they made it 2-2. The coach said a few choice words in the dressing room and we pulled ourselves together. The players failed to take the coach's pre-match warning seriously enough" he said.
Wuppertal trainer Wolfgang Jerat was also left dissatisfied despite his team’s valiant effort.
"It was certainly spectacular stuff for the fans, but I'm basically not a happy man, because I wanted us to impose ourselves on the game much more.
"But perhaps we couldn't do that because Bayern were simply too strong. At the end of the day, it was the right result."
