Fabio Silva struck in the 89th minute to earn Dortmund a 2-2 draw in Munich after Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane hit the woodwork from the penalty spot.

Borussia Dortmund left the Allianz Arena with a point and their unbeaten record intact on Saturday night, as substitute Fabio Silva scored in the 89th minute to earn a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. The result means the two Klassiker rivals remain level at the top of the Bundesliga on 18 points each, with Bayern ahead only on goal difference.

The evening had been set up as a celebration of Harry Kane, whose Ballon d'Or was presented to the home supporters before kick-off. Instead, the England captain endured a frustrating night, missing a second-half penalty that would have put Bayern two goals in front.

How the goals came

Bayern took the lead in the 38th minute. Michael Olise, who had earlier hit the post, released Konrad Laimer, and the Austrian midfielder scored at the second attempt after Felix Nmecha had given the ball away.

Shortly before that, Dortmund thought they had opened the scoring through Jobe Bellingham, but his close-range finish was ruled out following a VAR review.

The key moment arrived just before the hour. Bayern were awarded a penalty for a Nmecha handball, but Kane's spot kick struck the woodwork. Within minutes, Serhou Guirassy punished the miss, equalising for Dortmund in the 60th minute with a left-footed finish.

Kane responded by setting up Dayot Upamecano, whose 66th-minute goal restored Bayern's lead. It looked like being enough until late on, when two substitutes combined: Konstantinos Karetsas supplied Silva, who levelled the match with a minute of normal time remaining. There was still time for Lennart Karl to hit the crossbar for Bayern with the final kick of the game.

Bayern stretched by absences

Bayern were without head coach Vincent Kompany, who is recovering from a virus, while Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz were already sidelined through injury. The squad was stretched further during the match: Ismael Saibari, who had wasted a one-on-one chance, and Serge Gnabry both went off injured in the first half, and Olise was also substituted.

Those problems matter with a busy week ahead. Bayern face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

What it means for the title race

Both clubs went into the weekend with five wins and two draws from seven matches. Each now has five wins and three draws, and neither has been beaten in the league this season.

Dortmund, coached by Niko Kovac, will take encouragement from coming from behind twice away from home. According to The Sun's match report, it is only the fourth time in the past 18 meetings that Bayern have failed to beat Dortmund.

Bayern had been scoring at a rate of more than five goals per home game before this fixture, so being held to two at home is a rare blip in their scoring numbers.
