Bayern Munich hosted Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal in a knockout match that felt way too early these two powerhouses.

Ultimately, Manuel Neuer picked up an early red card, which put Bayern Munich at a massive disadvantage for the match — allowing Bayer Leverkusen to escape with a 1-0 victory.

Let’s talk about how it all went down and more on the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show. This is what we have on tap:

• A look at the starting XI and why it was very curious to see Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry, or Mathys Tel all on the bench to start.
• A rundown of the scoring and substitutions.
• We have no idea what Neuer was thinking...do you? That might have been the most bizarre decision of his career.
• Some final thoughts and takeaways on the match.
