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.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
