The report says Kompany vented his frustration during the interval and struck his tactics board. His unhappiness centered on his side's first-half display, even though Bayern led 1-0 just before the break.
Per the report, Kompany singled out Josip Stanišić and also addressed Dayot Upamecano. Goal-scorer Lennart Karl received criticism as well, with the coach objecting to his celebration in which he shushed the Elversberg crowd. Karl apologized for the celebration after the match.
