Tottenham Hotspur will face Bayern Munich again at their home stadium next weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur faced their first defeat of the pre-season, losing 2-1 to Bayern Munich before a sell-out crowd of 67,000 in Seoul. Despite featuring Son Heung-min, James Maddison and new signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, Spurs struggled against the Bundesliga giants, who played without Harry Kane. Gabriel Vidovic capitalized on a mistake by Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to give Bayern an early lead and Leon Goretzka extended their advantage after halftime.
Pedro Porro scored a 25-yard strike to pull one back for Tottenham but they couldn’t find an equalizer. Bayern also gave former Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha a run in the second half. Spurs will have a chance to seek revenge when they face Bayern again on Saturday, 10 August at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (17:30 BST). In other pre-season action, Newcastle lost 2-0 to Yokohama F Marinos in Tokyo with goals from Brazilian winger Elber and midfielder Jun Amano. Lloyd Kelly made his debut for Newcastle in this match.
