Kane's night, from pre-match tribute to crossbar
Kane received the prize at a ceremony in London on Monday and was an unused substitute in Wednesday's 6-1 German Cup win over Magdeburg. Bayern gave him a separate entrance before kick-off in Munich.
With Bayern 1-0 up shortly before the hour, he had the chance to make it two from the spot, and his kick struck the crossbar. Within minutes he lost the ball in the build-up to Dortmund's equaliser. He partly made up for it by setting up Bayern's second goal, but a low shot later came back off the post, and Bayern could not put the game away.
How the goals came
| Minute | Event |
|---|---|
| 10 | Michael Olise hits the post for Bayern |
| 24 | Ismael Saibari misses a one-on-one and goes off injured |
| 34 | Jobe Bellingham's goal for Dortmund ruled out by VAR after Carney Chukwuemeka collided with the goalkeeper |
| 38 | GOAL Bayern: Konrad Laimer scores on the rebound after Gregor Kobel blocks his first effort |
| Before the hour | Kane's penalty hits the crossbar |
| 60 | GOAL Dortmund: Serhou Guirassy finishes with his left foot |
| 66 | GOAL Bayern: Dayot Upamecano taps in from Kane's pass |
| 89 | GOAL Dortmund: substitute Fabio Silva equalises |
| 90+ | Lennart Karl hits the crossbar with the last kick |
Bayern had been averaging more than five goals per home game this season and struck the woodwork four times here. For Niko Kovac's Dortmund, a point looked unlikely for long periods, yet they scored twice from limited chances and earlier had a goal taken away by VAR.
A squad stretched in Kompany's absence
Head coach Vincent Kompany is still recovering after collapsing last week, and the injury list is growing. Luis Diaz was already out, and Saibari and Serge Gnabry both went off during the first half. Bayern's schedule is packed at the moment, so a draw against their closest rival, with their unbeaten record intact, is not a disaster. It was still a clear chance to open a gap at the top, and it went begging.
How the Bundesliga looks after Saturday
| Team | Saturday's result | Where it leaves them |
|---|---|---|
| Bayern Munich | Drew 2-2 with Dortmund | 1st, 18 points, ahead on goal difference |
| Borussia Dortmund | Drew 2-2 at Bayern | 2nd, 18 points |
| Freiburg | Beat Augsburg 2-1, Cyriaque Irie scoring in the 85th minute | 3rd |
| RB Leipzig | Beat Schalke 2-0 | 4th |
| Werder Bremen | Beat Hoffenheim 2-0, with Niclas Füllkrug's league-leading ninth goal | 5th |
| Bayer Leverkusen | Lost 4-2 at home to Stuttgart, a second straight defeat | Lost ground |
Borussia Mönchengladbach and Paderborn drew 0-0 in the other game reported on Saturday.
Next up for Kane and Guirassy
The title race now looks like a real two-club contest, more so than in Bayern's dominant recent seasons. The clubs' identical records will stay that way only until the next round of fixtures, when Bayern will hope to have Kompany closer to a return and Kane back on target.
