Tottenham fall to first pre-season defeat against Bayern Munich

Tottenham Hotspur experienced their first loss of pre-season, going down 2-1 to Bayern Munich in a sold-out 67,000 crowd in Seoul.

Despite featuring key players like Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and summer signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, Spurs struggled against the Bundesliga champions.

Gabriel Vidovic capitalized on a mistake from Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to give Bayern an early lead. Leon Goretzka extended Bayern’s advantage after the break.

Pedro Porro scored a 25-yard strike to reduce the deficit for Spurs, but they couldn’t find an equalizer. Bayern also fielded former Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha in the second half.
