Silva's 89th-minute equaliser holds Bayern to 2-2 as Kane misses a penalty

A late goal from substitute Fabio Silva (89th minute) earned Borussia Dortmund a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich on Saturday and left the Bundesliga's two unbeaten sides level on 18 points. Bayern led twice, through Konrad Laimer (38th) and Dayot Upamecano (66th), with Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy equalising in between (60th). Bayern's Harry Kane, honoured with his Ballon d'Or on the pitch before kick-off, missed a penalty at 1-0 and later hit the post.

A disallowed goal, then Laimer scores

Bayern's Michael Olise hit the inside of the post after ten minutes. Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham forced a save from Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who is standing in for the injured Manuel Neuer, and then put the ball in the net in the 34th minute, but a video review ruled it out: Dortmund's Carney Chukwuemeka was offside and had jumped into Urbig's face. Four minutes later a misplaced pass from Dortmund's Felix Nmecha let Laimer through. Laimer played a one-two with Olise, saw his first effort saved by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and scored with the second.

The swing after Kane's penalty

Kobel denied Laimer again early in the second half, then Nmecha blocked a Kane volley with his hand. Kane's penalty, in the 56th minute, hit the crossbar. Four minutes later Dortmund captain Nico Schlotterbeck intercepted a Kane pass and Dortmund broke: Chukwuemeka ran into the box and set up Guirassy, who scored low into the corner. Bayern needed six minutes to lead again. Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich, back after a death in his family, chipped the ball to the far post, Kane headed it across and Upamecano finished. Kane then hit the post (76th) and shot just wide, and Silva, on since the 76th minute, struck low into the far corner for the equaliser. Substitute Lennart Karl hit the bar for Bayern in stoppage time, the fourth woodwork hit of their evening.

What the numbers say

Our data gives Bayern 23 shots to Dortmund's 12, 18 of them inside the box to seven, but only five on target to Dortmund's six. Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said that, from his view, his team deserved to win. Kane was self-critical: "I could probably have stood out there for another hour without the ball going in," he said.

Three Bayern attackers hurt

Attackers Ismael Saibari (29th minute, after a collision with Kobel) and Serge Gnabry (31st) both had to go off early. Interim coach Aaron Danks, who is standing in for head coach Vincent Kompany, spoke of an ankle injury for Saibari and a muscle injury for Gnabry; Olise came off in the 84th minute. Eberl said it "doesn't look good" for Saibari and Gnabry and that they will "probably be out for a while", though he could not give a diagnosis, and that he was hopeful about Olise. "That was a costly draw for us," he said. Kompany is recovering at home from meningeal irritation, and goalkeeper Neuer and attackers Jamal Musiala and Luis Díaz were also missing; Sport1 reports that Kompany, Musiala and Díaz are not expected back before the international break. Bayern play at Atlético Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

What it changes

Bayern stay first on goal difference, +19 (27-8) to Dortmund's +8 (14-6); a win would have opened a three-point gap. It was the first time Bayern dropped points at home in the Bundesliga this season: their home record is three wins and a draw, with 20 goals scored. Dortmund arrived with the best defence in Europe's top five leagues, four goals conceded according to dpa, and remain unbeaten. Freiburg, 2-1 winners at Augsburg, are third on 16 points, ahead of Leipzig and Bremen on 15.

Dortmund coach Niko Kovac said: "Points in Munich are by no means a given, quite the opposite. So we now have one point more than we had last season," when Dortmund lost both league games against Bayern. Asked about the season ahead, he was cautious: "It's only the eighth matchday. We're still level on points." Schlotterbeck said: "We had respect for the opponent, but no awe." Dortmund host Real Betis in the Champions League on Wednesday; next Saturday Bayern are at Mainz and Dortmund face Elversberg.
