One of this year’s most exciting Bundesliga matches ended in a draw, with Dortmund finding a way to come away with a point from the “Allianz Arena.” The Westphalians found themselves trailing twice, but they didn’t give up and were rewarded just before the 90-minute mark, with Konstantinos Karetsas playing a pivotal role in the play that led to the final 2-2 score.
Bayern took the lead in the 38th minute through Laimer, who successfully finished off the home team’s attack, putting them in the lead. The Bavarians had a chance to extend their lead in the 56th minute, but Harry Kane failed to convert from the penalty spot, hitting the crossbar.
