context_page_description: The football match between Bayern Munich and Norwich City was played at the Olympiastadion, Munich, on 19 October 1993 as part of the second round of the 1993–94 UEFA Cup and finished in a 2–1 victory for the English side. Jeremy Goss and Mark Bowen scored for Norwich and Christian Nerlinger replied for Bayern; all three goals were scored in the first half. The opening goal by Goss, a volley from outside the area, is considered the greatest goal in Norwich's history, and the victory the pinnacle of the club's history.
  Norwich had qualified for this season's UEFA Cup after finishing third in the inaugural Premier League season, while Bayern had ended their previous campaign in the 1992–93 Bundesliga in second place. This was Norwich's third competitive match in European football, having defeated SBV Vitesse 3–0 on aggregate in the first round. In contrast, Bayern Munich were playing their 185th European cup tie and had progressed to the second round with a 7–3 aggregate victory over FC Twente.
  The result was a huge upset in European football; it was the only victory by a British club against Bayern Munich in their Olympiastadion.
context_section_description: The match has achieved considerable notability in the history of Norwich City, described as "arguably their finest hour" by the BBC, while The Daily Telegraph called it "their finest performance".  John Motson commented that the match marked "the rise of Norwich City from provincial respectability to European admiration. It was the refreshing impact of loyal, unsung players ... that made City's continental capers so appealing". 
  In 2008, a poll, conducted by Norwich City recognised Goss's first leg goal as the greatest Norwich goal of all time.  In 2013, the club released a commemorative video to commemorate the match's twentieth anniversary.
  The match was the only time a British side beat Bayern in a game played in the Olympiastadion.  Since moving to their new Allianz Arena in 2005, Bayern have suffered four further defeats against English teams, as of 2020. They lost the final of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League against Chelsea on penalties after the game finished 1–1 after extra time. Then on 13 March 2013, Bayern lost 2–0 against Arsenal, also in the Champions League, although they progressed to the next round on the away goals rule. Bayern also lost a dead rubber match to Manchester City in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage.  In the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League, Liverpool beat Bayern 3–1 in the Allianz Arena to reach the quarter-finals on their way to clinching their sixth title in the competition.
  Norwich ended their domestic season in 12th place in the 1993–94 FA Premier League, and as of 2020, the club have not qualified to play in European competition again.  Bayern Munich went on to win the 1993–94 Bundesliga, securing the title by a single point ahead of Kaiserslautern, and have subsequently won three UEFA competitions, including the Champions League in 2001 and 2013.
