The Germans melt over the performance of the Pole. “Mane was bouncing off him.”

On Wednesday, the next matches of the 1/16 final of the German Cup took place. Among the teams that were fighting for promotion that day was Bayern Munich. Julian Nagelsmann’s players played against FC Augsburg, a team that had already beaten them this season. In September, in a Bundesliga match, Augsburg won 1-0, among others thanks to the phenomenal game of Rafał Gikiewicz.

Robert Gumny completely excluded Sadio Mane from the game. The Germans appreciated the performance of the Pole

This time, however, the Polish goalkeeper was absent from the match squad. Several players got a chance to play. The starting line-up also included Robert Gumny, who has recently become a certain defensive point for Augsburg. He stayed on the pitch for 45 minutes.

However, the Pole was unable to save his team from defeat. Bayern eventually won 5-2 with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (two), Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies scoring for the visitors. Mads Pedersen scored for Augsburg. Dayot Upamecano from the Bavarian team also directed the ball into his own goal.

Despite a rather high defeat, Robert Gumny received very positive reviews for his performance. And that’s because he’s done something incredibly impressive. As the “Sueddeutsche Zeitung” notes, he completely excluded the new star of Bayern and the successor of Robert Lewandowski, Sadio Mane, from the game. The Senegalese, who a few days ago took second place in the Golden Ball plebiscite, did not cope with the Polish defender at all.

“Mane bounced off Gumny” – we read in the title of the article on “Sueddeutsche Zeitung”. Journalists emphasized that Mane “had a hard time in Augsburg”. “Second in the Golden Ball plebiscite, but no golden flash was visible on the wing that evening. He regularly bounced off a certain Robert Gumny or lost the ball,” we read on. The Senegalese performance was summed up briefly: “He was substituted in the 57th minute, but he might as well have been earlier.”

Robert Gumny’s performance was also noticed by the SofaScore portal dealing with sports statistics. The Pole scored one of the highest scores in his team for the match against Bayern Munich – 6.9. Only the goal scorer, Mads Pedersen – 7.0, and the goalkeeper Tomas Koubek – 7.6 received a higher score. In comparison, Sadio Mane received almost the lowest score of anyone on the pitch – 5.9.

Robert Gumny has played 9 matches for Augsburg this season. He scored one goal and made one assist.
