Bayern Munich staged a remarkable comeback to secure a 3-2 victory against Borussia Dortmund in a gripping Klassiker at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, further tightening their grip on the Bundesliga title.
Dortmund initially took the lead with a goal from Nico Schlotterbeck, but they later equalized at 2-2 thanks to goals from Schlotterbeck and Daniel Svensson, who also provided the assist for the first goal.
However, Harry Kane netted two goals—including one from the penalty spot—while Joshua Kimmich struck a late winner, allowing Bayern to extend their lead over Dortmund to 11 points with only 10 matches remaining in the season.
Since the start of 2019, Dortmund has only won one derby match, a victory against Bayern at the Allianz Arena in November 2023. They had, however, managed to draw two of the last three Klassikers before this match.
Within that same timeframe, Bayern boasts a record of 11 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 loss against Dortmund, and they haven’t lost an away derby since November 10, 2018.
