There was a desire to take over in the air, a common desire not to let go. Neither Bayern, frustrated at not being able to dig the gap on Leverkusen or Dortmund, eager to confirm his progression, spared their efforts. And in this high -level battle, the suspense triumphed. A match where everyone had their moment. An undecided, harsh, sometimes rough, often intense klassiker.
At the break, Bayern seemed in control, dominating without being sharp. But barely returned from the locker room, the Bavarians were punished: Beier, forgotten in the second post, placed a malicious head between Urbig's legs (0-1, 48th). An unexpected cold fell on the Allianz Arena. However, Kompany had the good levers: the war entrances then Gnabry changed the meeting. One equalized with a rolled clinical (1-1, 65th), the other doubled the solo after an inspired breakthrough (2-1, 69th).
But the BVB still had the respondent. Less flamboyant, but more realistic, Kovac's men took advantage of a poorly managed corner to return to the height. After a number of Guirassy in the surface, Anton appeared to push the ball to the bottom (2-2, 75th). A cruel scenario for a Bayern who seemed to have done the hardest, but logical so Dortmund never gave up.
Bayern touches the goal, but Dortmund catches up with the collar
The last ten minutes have been a summary of tension. Kobel pushed Müller and Kimmich's final attempts. Olise missed a match ball in additional time. And Pavlovic almost offered a goal to Guirassy of a failed pass. No one wanted to let go, but nobody was able to finish.
This draw leaves a bitter taste for the Munich, who did not know how to take advantage of the faux pas de Leverkusen. Dortmund, for its part, reassures itself before Europe. And this klassiker, sometimes chaotic, will remain as a reminder: nothing is ever played in advance between these two giants.
