Waldemar Anton scored a 75th-minute equaliser as Borussia Dortmund held Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw in Der Klassiker.
The result kept Bayern six points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen with five Bundesliga games remaining.
Dortmund strike first after a quiet opening half
Bayern controlled possession but created little before the break. Dortmund then scored with their first shot on target when Maximilian Beier headed in Julian Ryerson’s cross.
Vincent Kompany responded with a triple substitution, introducing Serge Gnabry, Raphael Guerreiro and Aleksandar Pavlovic.
Bayern turn the match before Anton answers
Former Dortmund player Guerreiro equalised after Gnabry attacked the defence and Thomas Muller laid the ball off. Four minutes later, Gnabry completed a solo run to put Bayern ahead.
Dortmund refused to fold. Jonas Urbig saved Serhou Guirassy’s acrobatic effort, but Anton reached the rebound and drove it in.
Harry Kane nearly restored Bayern’s lead before Carney Chukwuemeka threatened at the other end.
Both coaches accept the point
Kompany said the second half delivered the emotion supporters wanted, even if coaches preferred more control.
“We wanted to be six points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen at the end of this weekend and we still have six points,” he told the Bundesliga.
Dortmund coach Niko Kovac praised his team’s greater confidence after half-time. The draw kept the title race alive without changing Bayern’s commanding position.
