Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Bayern Munich: Kane injured as Musiala salvages draw

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich scored an 85th-minute equalizer through the in-form Jamal Musiala to salvage a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund in the Klassiker on Saturday and move seven points clear at the top.

Dortmund, who had won their previous six home games in the league this season, took a 27-minute lead thanks to Jamie Gittens' superb solo performance.

Six minutes later the visitors were dealt another blow when top scorer Harry Kane, who scored a hat-trick against Augsburg last time in the Bundesliga, limped off injured, but not as a result of a tackle.

The Bavarians, who had won their last seven games in all competitions without conceding a goal, improved after the break and created a string of chances but lacked any clinical finishing.

However, the unmarked Musiala made no mistake as he headed home Michael Olise's cross five minutes from time for his sixth league goal, securing his unbeaten run in the league this season.

Bayern is in first place on 30 points, seven ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt, who play at Heidenheim on Sunday. Dortmund remains fifth on 20.

Data debriefing: The goals don't end there

Musiala scored in his sixth consecutive away game in the Bundesliga. At 21 years and 278 days, he is the second-youngest player in Bundesliga history to do so, after Werner Weist in 1969-70 for Dortmund (21 years, 10 days).

Bayern have now scored in their last 19 games in the Bundesliga, the longest streak of games with a goal in the competition since a run of 43 games from September 30, 2022 to January 12, 2024.

Their opponents are also on edge in front of goal. They have scored in each of their last ten Bundesliga matches, scoring 21 goals in that run.
