FC Bayern Munich wins the German classic against Dortmund 3-2 and remains leader of the table.
Borussia Dortmund against FC Bayern Munich, runner-up against champions: That was the duel of the best defense (2 goals conceded) and the best offense in the league (24 goals scored).
10 of all Munich’s goals so far have been attributed to Robert Lewandoswki, who scored his supposed 11th goal in the league after 24 minutes at the Dortmund stadium. But when Serge Gnabry passed, the Pole was slightly offside.
2 goals before the break
Bayern, so far the best team, had to do without Joshua Kimmich within half an hour, who was replaced with a possible serious knee injury. This failure caused a small pause in the game of the guests and quickly to the 0: 1 of Marco Reus (minute 45).
However, the lead for Lucien Favre’s team only lasted 4 minutes because David Alaba, whose contract negotiations have been causing unrest in Munich for weeks, scored the 1-1 draw with a direct free kick in injury time in the first half. BVB goalkeeper Roman Bürki had no chance as defender Thomas Meunier had slightly deflected the shot.
Lewandowski takes the lead
The Swiss goalkeeper had no chance in Lewandowski’s already regular 11th goal of the season in the 48th minute to make it 2-1 for Bayern, after a perfect cross from Lucas Hernández. Mats Hummels had slightly deflected his header. Just a few laps from the pointer later, Bürki would have been hit again, but the right post got in the way of Kingsley Coman’s first goal of the season.
The Dortmund side, for which Manuel Akanji played the 90 minutes, quickly recovered from the new goal and later had a good chance of equalizing through Reus (68th) and substitute Thorgan Hazard (70th). In the midst of this pressure phase, substitute Leroy Sané scored 3-1 for the guests in the 80th minute.
Haaland’s connecting hit is useless
The fact that Erling Haaland scored the goal 2: 3 just 3 minutes later did not change the outcome of the game. With this victory, FC Bayern Munich remains the leader of the Bundesliga table. Dortmund remains in third place behind RB Leipzig.
