The top game of the German Bundesliga did not produce a winner. FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 (1-1) in Munich on Friday. Exequiel Palacios equalized Bayern’s late lead by Leon Goretzka (86th) with a penalty converted in stoppage time (94th). The guests maintained their lead in the table, with both teams holding ten points following four rounds.
The pursuers can only move within one point of the top duo at the weekend. Previously, Harry Kane scored from a corner (7th) and Alejandro Grimaldo scored with a dream free kick (24th) in front of 75,000 fans.
The Werkself with the outstanding goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky did not present themselves in the Vizekusen style, but as a team that, led by former Bayern star Xabi Alonso as coach, can pose a threat to the subscription champions this season.
However, Bayern presented twice. Before his fourth goal of the season, Kane slyly broke away from Granit Xhaka and headed in with great freedom. Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba passed the ball on unluckily and his team also conceded their fourth goal of the season with a header from a set piece. But the guests demonstrated comeback qualities that day. Grimaldo put together a brilliant piece past Sven Ullreich, who had no chance.
The game slowed down at times in the second half, but a shot from Florian Wirtz only saved Bayern’s goal. A little later, Goretzka seemed to have scored the winning goal following brilliant preparatory work from Mathys Tel. But Palacios held his nerve following a penalty awarded by Alphonso Davies.
ÖFB team player Konrad Laimer once once more worked on the right side of the defense, which was unfamiliar to him, for an hour. After Joshua Kimmich was substituted, he played alongside Goretzka in the double six. Salzburg watched the dramatic finish while already substituted on the bench.
