Bundesliga: FC Bayern wins crazy top game against Borussia Dortmund – Marco Rose flies

Just in time for the exchange of blows between the German football giants, both Erling Haaland at BVB and Leon Goretzka at FC Bayern were ready for the starting line-up. Also because of this, FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann did not have to make any changes compared to the win against Arminia Bielefeld. The Borussia swapped in three positions compared to the previous week, among other things, the sorely missed Haaland was able to participate again from the start. There was only one point between the two teams, so it was clear what was at stake.

Borussia started like the fire brigade and put the first needle prick. After a referee’s ball in the 5th minute, everything went very quickly when Jude Bellingham Julian Brandt used perfectly in the penalty area of ​​Munich. Borussia first played Alphonso Davies there, then straightened the ball and gave Manuel Neuer no chance with a shot in the right angle in the Bayern goal.

However, the guests were by no means shocked and responded in their typical way. Thomas Müller claimed a ball in the Dortmund half against Mats Hummels, then put it down on Robert Lewandowski, who was running along. This penetrated from the right into the penalty area of ​​the home side, looked Gregor Kobel and pushed ice cold to equalize 1: 1 (12th).

In the further course an extremely fast game developed at the highest level. Bayern repeatedly brought the Dortmunders into trouble with their usual strong short passing game. The black and yellow set dangerous accents mainly through fast switching play. So the hosts were always looking for the nimble Haaland, who sprinted at Manuel Neuer again and again.

In the 44th minute, Bayern succeeded in the person of Kingsley Coman, the 2-1 lead. Tolisso shifted play to the left, Davies then moved from the left into the penalty area and played a sharp ball towards the penalty spot. Via detours, the ball landed with the French, who, standing on the right in front of the goal, withdrew from about ten meters and hit the goal. The approaching Reus and Guerreiro had to admit defeat.

The second half started just as quickly and furiously as the first half had ended. In the 48th minute, Haaland promptly equalized for the black and yellow. Dayot Upamecano unfortunately cleared a cross from Thomas Meunier in his own penalty area with his hip right in front of Jude Bellingham’s feet. He immediately put Haaland in the limelight, who slipped into the far corner with just one contact from the left half of the penalty area and gave Manuel Neuer no chance.

It became critical in the 65th minute when Upamecano and Julian Brandt bumped their heads and had to be treated for minutes. For Brandt it went out of the interior with a stretcher, Upamecano was initially able to continue playing. It was already clear that the stoppage time would be lush.

The final quarter of an hour was completely blown away when referee Felix Zwayer pronounced a penalty for Munich after a long discussion. After a Bayern corner, Hummels cleared the situation in the penalty area with an elbow. After looking at the pictures, Zwayer considered this to be punishable. Lewandowski did not allow himself to be asked with his patented approach and converted the penalty to a 3-2 lead. Now the point was reached when Marco Rose blew all the fuses in the dugout. As a result of his complaint to referee Zwayer, the head coach, who had been warned about yellow, saw the yellow-red card and had to be dragged into the stands by assistant coach Rene Maric.

Borussia threw everything forward again, and keeper Kobel also went into the Bayern penalty area with standards in ten-minute stoppage time. It shouldn’t help, Bayern stayed cool enough in the heated Signal-Iduna-Park and bagged the 3-2 away win. This means that the Munich team is expanding its lead in the standings to four points over the black and yellow.

The voices:

Marco Rose (coach Borussia Dortmund): “We saw a great football game, a real top game, it went up and down on both sides. I think the missed penalty in the scene with Marco Reus is a penalty, and I think Mats Hummels’ handball at least It’s a shame that a game is decided like this. I heard that Julian Brandt is doing better, that’s almost the most important thing today. “

Julian Nagelsmann (coach Bayern Munich): “We didn’t have a very good start, we were very good, had a lot of chances. We have to lead a lot higher at half-time. After half-time, 15 or 20 minutes weren’t that good. In the end we deserved to win. The penalty was for me indisputably. “

The tweet about the game:

That was noticed: The madness as a guest in Signal-Iduna-Park

Certainly, every encounter between FCB and BVB is absolutely worth seeing, whether in the Bundesliga, in the cup or even on the international stage. But what was presented to the general public in the stands and in front of the screens on the 14th match day of the 2021/22 season defied description. The game had a hit number that would have left a Helene Fischer breathless. In addition to world-class goals, gripping duels and technical finesse on a first-class level, there were unfortunately serious injuries and some highly controversial scenes. The common fan couldn’t breathe a single second. Marco Rose had to be dragged into the stands with foam at the mouth and a yellow-red card after the questionable penalty whistle against his team. And then the Dortmund fans chanted “Messi, Messi …” after every ball action by ex-Borussia player Robert Lewandowski. If that weren’t already bizarre enough, a family of pigeons made themselves comfortable on the lawn in the second half and in the meantime seemed to be the only haven of calm on this fiery evening.

The statistics: 7

Now for the seventh time in a row Bayern remain victorious in a direct duel with Borussia Dortmund. BVB achieved their last win against FC Bayern on November 18, 2018. Since then, all Bundesliga games have been lost.
