Bayern Munich narrowly misses out on Bundesliga title after thrilling draw in Leipzig.

3 draw, preventing the guests from securing the title temporarily. The struggling Saxons showed clear improvement compared to the previous week and made the first statement: In the third minute, Haidara failed to score from close range after getting mixed up with three opponents and Urbig made a brilliant save. Gnabry put the Bavarians ahead in the ninth minute, but he missed the target slightly to the right.

Sesko then put RB in the lead in the 11th minute with a fantastic shot from 35 meters after being set up by Xavi in a counterattack. The unfortunate goalkeeper Urbig tried to come out of the goal but was beaten by the shot. The Löw-Elk remained in control and scored again in the 39th minute with a header from a corner kick by Klostermann into the left corner. So, the hosts surprisingly and deservedly led 2:0 at halftime.

After the restart, the FCB increased the pressure but initially lacked the necessary breakthrough. This changed quickly: First, Dier headed in a corner kick in the 62nd minute and then Gnabry used a space mistake by Olise to score from a low shot in the bottom right corner.

The game was now completely different: The Kompany team was on the offensive and the Eastern Germans seemed completely overwhelmed. In the 83rd minute, Sané made the final score with a powerful shot into the left corner.

However, the substitute Poulsen made the Munich team equalize in the fourth minute of injury time, scoring over Urbig for the 3:3 final score.

With this draw, FC Bayern is still not officially the champion, but due to the much better goal difference compared to Leverkusen, the title is almost out of reach for the Bavarians. Leipzig, on the other hand, takes a point in the race for the European spots and remains fifth.

In the parallel matches of the 1st Bundesliga, the following results were achieved: Gladbach – Hoffenheim 4:4, Union Berlin – Bremen 2:2, St. Pauli – Stuttgart 0:1.
