Late equaliser keeps the top two level

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund drew 2-2 in Der Klassiker at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, 31 October, leaving both sides on 18 points after eight matchdays with Bayern top on goal difference. Bayern controlled large parts of the match, but Fabio Silva scored for Dortmund in the 89th minute after a scramble in the box, denying the hosts the win. Silva, Joey Veerman and Ismael Saibari all played for former PSV clubs in the match, with Veerman lasting the full 90 minutes for Dortmund. Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy, the club's top scorer, also got on the scoresheet.

Kane's penalty and the injury list

Harry Kane sent his 56th-minute spot-kick against the crossbar with Bayern 1-0 up. The effort was one of four occasions on which Bayern hit the woodwork, and Michael Olise also struck a post in the first half. Ismael Saibari was clean through on Gregor Kobel but shot straight at the Dortmund keeper, then left the pitch with an ankle injury. Serge Gnabry was also substituted with an injury around the half-hour, and Alphonso Davies moved from left-back into attack as a result.

Goals, a disallowed effort and a protest

A 34th-minute Dortmund goal, a tap-in by Jobe Bellingham, was ruled out by VAR because Carney Chukwuemeka was in an offside position when he cleared Bayern keeper Jonas Urbig. Konrad Laimer then gave Bayern the lead in the 38th minute, reacting to a rebound after Kobel had blocked his first effort. Guirassy equalised on the hour, but Dayot Upamecano tapped in from close range six minutes later from a Kane assist. Silva's equaliser came in the 89th minute, and Bayern protested to referee Tobias Stieler that Konstantinos Karetsas had stood on Aleksandar Pavlovic's foot, but the goal stood. Lennart Karl's shot in stoppage time struck the crossbar.

Kompany, Kane and the Ballon d'Or

Vincent Kompany did not sit on the Bayern bench after collapsing last week and being taken to hospital, and he is resting for now, so assistant coach Aaron Danks took charge. Kane had collected the Ballon d'Or at a ceremony in London on Monday and showed the trophy to the Munich crowd before kick-off. He is the first Bayern player to win the award since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981. Kane had been an unused substitute in Bayern's 6-1 German Cup win over Magdeburg on Wednesday. Joshua Kimmich returned to the side after a family bereavement.

Results elsewhere in the Bundesliga and La Liga

Freiburg, last season's Europa League finalists, beat Augsburg 2-1 with Cyriaque Irie scoring in the 85th minute to stay third. RB Leipzig won 2-0 at Schalke to sit fourth, and Werder Bremen beat Hoffenheim 2-0, with Niclas Füllkrug scoring his ninth goal of the season to move Bremen up to fifth. Bayer Leverkusen lost 4-2 at home to Stuttgart for their second straight defeat, while Borussia Mönchengladbach and Paderborn drew 0-0. In Spain, Atletico Madrid beat Levante 2-0, with Alejandro Grimaldo opening the scoring in the 36th minute and Giuliano Simeone finishing, and Atletico briefly moved top of La Liga.
