Kovac refuses to panic
Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac rued a host of missed chances as his side suffered a rare defeat - 2-0 at Hertha Berlin on Friday.
Vedad Ibisevic's penalty and Ondrej Duda's close-range effort proved decisive as Hertha continued their excellent start to the campaign.
Bayern have had a poor week as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Augsburg in midweek but they are 1/3 to win the Bundesliga title again this season and 1/5 to beat Ajax in their next Champions League encounter on Tuesday.
"Not only did we not take our chances but we conceded two avoidable goals. That must not happen," Kovac said after the shock loss.
"For the second goal we made a tactical mistake. Mistakes happen, but if you make them in the Bundesliga, you will be punished.
"I thought we played a decent game overall, but the result makes it difficult to justify that. We combined well and controlled the game but we just didn't take our chances.
"[Losing] is not a problem at all. Those who know Bayern know we will not put up with it easily."
Hertha have 13 points after six games and are second, level on points with Bayern. Borussia Dortmund are two points adrift in third but will go top if they beat Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
