Leading Bayern is forced to make their first Bundesliga error against Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich's dismal 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen resulted in their first Bundesliga loss of the year.

It was always going to be an exciting match at the Allianz Arena between the record champions and the current champions. And despite the split points, Xabi Alonso's team left the game a little happier after 90 minutes.

For ninety minutes, Bayer Leverkusen relinquished possession of their field to Bayern Munich. However, Jamal Musiala's brilliance and Harry Kane's uninteresting performance prevented the hosts from taking full advantage of it.

Granit Xhaka, Florian Wirtz, and the rest of the defense put on a masterful display, waiting to take advantage of the situation. And it came as a complete surprise when Robert Andrich's long-range drive, which was made from 21 meters out, defeated Manuel Neuer, who was diving, at 110 km/h.

But Bayern quickly leveled the score with a rocket goal of their own. With a stunning half-volley that struck the top right corner at 102 kilometers per hour from 25 meters out, Aleksandar Pavlović tied the score at one.


Throughout the second half, the hosts maintained their superiority. They had 71% of the ball and an incredible 17 shots to 2 for Leverkusen, but only three of those shots found the goal.

Serge Gnabry was amazingly denied by the post and crossbar, and Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies were forced to shoot from range by the disciplined and compact visiting defense. Bayern lost their first real test and were left furious as nobody produced a late winner.

Kane was carted off the field in the closing seconds with what appeared to be an ankle injury, adding to manager Vincent Kompany's night of agony.

According to the table, Bayern leads the Bundesliga by two points and is still unbeaten after the draw, with Leverkusen in third place.

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
