The BvB believed they had achieved the feat of the day by leading for a long time in this Klassiker, against the run of play in view of the Bavarian opportunities.

Gittens, the young English prodigy of Borussen, found the fault even before the half-hour mark (1-0, 27e) – for an ascendant held by the locals for more than an hour.

In the money time however, Musiala was able to head a good cross from Olise to snatch a meritorious draw (1-1, 85e).

Bayern remains an overwhelming leader with provisionally seven points ahead of Frankfurt, which travels to Heidenheim on Sunday, and Leverkusen. Dortmund is fifth, 10 lengths from the top.
