Bayern responded swiftly. Raphaël Guerreiro netted the equalizer with a precise low shot, and shortly after, Serge Gnabry showcased his brilliance with a solo effort from 35 meters out, putting Bayern ahead 2-1.
However, Dortmund were resilient. In the 75th minute, Waldemar Anton tapped in a rebound following Serhou Guirassy’s bicycle kick attempt, leveling the score at 2-2.
This result leaves Bayern atop the Bundesliga with 69 points, while Dortmund remains in eighth place with 42 points, six points adrift of the top four.
