Dortmund’s late comeback denies Bayern in Der Klassiker
Borussia Dortmund struck after the 89th minute to rescue a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich on Saturday, leaving the rivals level on points at the top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern had led for much of the contest, but substitute Fabio Silva’s late goal earned Dortmund a share of the points in a match that also saw the hosts deal with injuries. Serge Gnabry was among the Bayern players forced off during the game, with reports describing what appeared to be a lower-leg problem, though no diagnosis was provided.
The draw preserved the tight title race between the two German giants. Bayern’s Harry Kane, playing in his first match since winning the Ballon d’Or, did not score.
Stuttgart add pressure on Leverkusen
Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, VfB Stuttgart produced one of the weekend’s clearest statements by winning 4-2 away at Bayer Leverkusen. Ermedin Demirović scored twice as Stuttgart handed Leverkusen back-to-back defeats and extended the reigning side’s difficult run.
The results leave Bayern and Dortmund sharing the same points total at the summit, while Leverkusen’s latest setback further damages its position in the early-season race.
