Both teams reached the match with their heads, after their losses in Europe. But this did not prevent them from giving a game, typical of the Champions League. They tied, but the result could have been broader, if not for Kobel, who was the figure of the visitors. On the part of the ‘Bavarian’, Gnabry was the main protagonist, left the bench and changed his face.
In the second half, the teams came out with another attitude. Round trip, where the key pieces were the goalkeepers. In the case of Bayern for not hitting the first goal, and in Borussia for holding his own. When it seemed that the locals were going to be a summary, the visitors took breast and planted them, a 2-2 that prepares both of them, for the Champions Encounters next week.
1-2 Bayern fell against Inter and 4-0 Borussia against FC Barcelona. Perhaps these results caused that in the first half both sets dispute the ball, almost 50/50 of possession between them. Good occasions on both sides, but without clarity, as if it were a training.
Kane was not having his day, he barely threw at the door and when he did, it was far from the goal that Kobel defended. The Bayern always had the initiative, but the Dortmund did not suffer, Kovac planted his team in defense well, so that the Champions League did not happen against Hansi Flick’s team.
The next 45 minutes would be another story, although Bayern began as the first part ended, living in the ‘Yellow’ field, this would cost him expensive, since in 47 ‘, a perfect against visitors, he would end up in a perfect center of Ryerson, which he finished perfectly among Urbig’s legs, to advance his own on the scoreboard.
The goal would change the duel shots, now Kovac’s were the ones who had the initiative in the attacks, but we already know about experience that this is not very culminated if you do not culminate the plays. Gnabry entered two minutes from the goal to revolutionize the game, his was the play for Müller to serve Guerreiro’s tie, 1-1.
The German entered to revolutionize the game, and he did so, just three minutes later, an incredible play of the end would complete the comeback of his own, momentary that yes …
In the absence of 15 ‘from the end, after a corner of Borussia, Guirassy would invent a play more typical of beach football than from the Bundesliga, but Urbig had the penultimate word, since he made a monumental stop, but the rebound would fall to Anton, so that he would put the definitive tie on the scoreboard, 2-2.
Now it is time to think of Champions, after Inter won 3-1 in its game, since in Liga the Bayern this result is not affected, after Xabi Alonso tied their meeting too.
Kovac’s have it more difficult, if not impossible, and in local competition they momentarily move away from European positions. Tuesday and Wednesday the semifinalists of the European Cup are decided, we will see if there is German representation in them.
