"On Saturday evening, following the conclusion of the recent international break, Bayern Munich resumed Bundesliga action by welcoming Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena. Bayern dominated the opening 45-minute period but somehow only had Harry Kane's 22nd-minute headed goal to show for it when the half-time whistle blew. A combination of indecision in the final third and some smart saves from Gregor Kobel in the goal kept the visitors in the game."
"Positional play aside, Kane was the most impactful player in Der Klassiker. The English forward's influence on the match only grew stronger after he outmuscled his marker to head the ball in the goal to give Bayern the lead midway through the first half. Over the course of 90 odd minutes Kane had, what was for him, a rather high number of touches in tallying 68 compared to his Bundesliga match-average of 45."
Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at the Allianz Arena. Bayern dominated the opening 45 minutes but only led through Harry Kane's 22nd-minute header as indecision in the final third and Gregor Kobel's saves kept Dortmund in the game. The second half was more even as Dortmund increased intensity, but Michael Olise made it 2-0 from close range in the 79th minute. Julian Brandt steered in a right-sided cross five minutes later to halve the deficit, and no further goals were scored. Kane registered 68 touches, was fouled six times, created one chance, and completed nine of ten long balls.
