Jamal Musiala’s 85th-minute header secured a 1-1 draw for Bayern Munich at Borussia Dortmund in Saturday’s thrilling Der Klassiker, maintaining Bayern’s unbeaten record in the Bundesliga this season.

Dortmund took the lead in the 27th minute with a brilliant solo effort from Jamie Gittens, who left Bayern’s defence in his wake before finishing past Manuel Neuer. However, Bayern’s resilience paid off late, as Musiala found the net from a pinpoint cross by Michael Olise, ensuring a share of the spoils.

The result extended Bayern’s unbeaten streak and moved them seven points clear at the top of the table, although Bayer Leverkusen’s earlier win at Union Berlin reduced their lead. Dortmund, meanwhile, moved back into fifth place but remain 10 points behind the leaders.

Bayern’s night was made more challenging after losing Harry Kane to an apparent hamstring issue in the first half, but despite dominating possession, they were unable to break through Dortmund’s defence until Musiala’s late intervention.
