Pune, 1st November 2026: Der Klassiker delivered a late twist. Bayern Munich were two minutes away from beating Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, 31 October, when Fabio Silva scored in the 89th minute to make it 2-2. The draw keeps both sides unbeaten in the Bundesliga after eight matches, and level at the top end of the table.
For Indian fans, the match kicked off late on Saturday night, which is why “Bayern vs Dortmund” was among the top football searches in India on Sunday morning.
How the goals came
| Minute | Goal | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 38′ | Konrad Laimer (Bayern) | 1-0 |
| 60′ | Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund) | 1-1 |
| 66′ | Dayot Upamecano (Bayern) | 2-1 |
| 89′ | Fabio Silva (Dortmund) | 2-2 |
The penalty that changed the night
The turning point came between Laimer’s opener and Dortmund’s equaliser. Bayern won a penalty and Harry Kane, who rarely misses from the spot, struck the post. A 2-0 lead would almost certainly have put the game out of Dortmund’s reach. Instead, Guirassy pulled Dortmund level on the hour.
Bayern responded quickly through centre-back Upamecano, and for 20 minutes it looked like Vincent Kompany’s side would hold on at home. Dortmund kept pushing, and Silva’s late finish earned them a point in a stadium where Bayern have usually dominated this fixture.
What the draw means
Before kick-off, the two clubs had the same number of points, each with five wins and one draw. They are still level after this result, with five wins and two draws each, and neither has lost a league game this season.
Three quick takeaways:
- Dortmund have a genuine title challenge in them this season. Coming from behind twice in Munich shows a resilience they lacked in recent Klassiker defeats.
- Bayern’s defence was tested. Conceding twice at home, including a late goal, is unusual for Kompany’s side.
- Kane’s miss will sting. He remains Bayern’s most important player, but this was a rare off moment in a big game.
