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.
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.
