Bayern Munich congratulated Inglostadt for their sizzling performance against RB Leipzig with a pile of sausages.
The German champions not only deliver on the field, they deliver off it.
Chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge delivered on his promise to Ingolstadt, personally delivering sausages to their Bundesliga rivals on Tuesday.
Rummenigge promised a “truck load of Weisswurst” for Ingolstadt after condemned RB Leipzig to their first defeat of the season in round 14 last month.
The result enabled Bayern to return to the summit and Rummenigge stayed true to his word as he visited Ingolstadt’s offices.
Rummenigge visited the club in a truck filled with enough pretzels and Bavarian veal sausages – to feed 80 people.

Bayern are three points clear atop the table after 17 games as they prepare to face Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Bayern – who lead RB Leipzig by three points – have promised the same treatment for any team that beats them in the Bundesliga this season.

Next to try will be Hoffenheim, who travel to the Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
Newly-promoted Leipzig’s shock rise to contention should be the stuff of fairytales.
But known by fans as Retortenclub, or ‘Synthetic Club’, their arrival in the Bundesliga was met with protests due to them being owned by energy drink giants Red Bull.
Dynamo Dresden supporters hurtled a severed bull’s head at their rivals during their German Cup game in August.
RB Leipzig chairman Oliver Mintzlaff branded the incident “simply tasteless” and insisted it was part of the “cliche-ridden” debate about the club.
Leipzig have achieved four promotions in their short seven-year existence after being established as a successor club to fifth division outfit SSV Markranstadt in 2009.
Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz was not allowed to put the sponsorship name in his new team’s moniker so decided to call them RasenBallsport Leipzig, meaning “lawn ball sport”.
