At FC Bayern, Zagreb takes action following their disappointing 2:9 outcome.
Dinamo Zagreb almost causes an upset against FC Bayern in the Champions League, despite being significantly outmatched. For a moment, it seemed like they might score an equalizer.However, this didn't materialize, and instead, they endured a historic defeat.
This disastrous performance in their Champions League debut resulted in Dinamo Zagreb firing their coach, Sergej Jakirovic. The club announced a mutual agreement to terminate Jakirovic's contract, just two days after the 2-9 loss to the formidable German football champions. In the interim, assistant coach Sandro Perkovic will take charge.
Dinamo Zagreb, the Croatian champions, were convincingly beaten in Munich. Bayern broke their own record with this victory and became the first team to score nine goals in the Champions League. Jakirovic commented after the match, "It was a tough night for us, Bayern is in a league of their own." Despite this, Dinamo Zagreb managed to score two goals shortly after half-time, providing a fleeting glimmer of hope for an equalizer.
In the league, the defending champions are currently third after six games. "Now it's up to us all to make a wise decision about a new coach to get back on track," said club president Velimir Zajec. Jakirovic, a former professional player, had led the club to a double last year.
In contrast, the atmosphere at Bayern was jovial following their fifth consecutive win under Vincent Kompany. They swiftly overcame the temporary hiccup of conceding two goals after half-time, despite Kompany conceding that "this cannot happen again."
FC Bayern Munich broke Dinamo Zagreb's resistance with their historic 9-2 victory, further cementing their position as the formidable German football champions. Despite scoring two goals after half-time, Dinamo Zagreb's FC Bayern Munich encounter ended in a disappointing defeat for the Croatian champions.
