Fabio Silva's late goal salvages a 2:2 draw for Dortmund at Bayern in the Bundesliga

A late equaliser in the Klassiker

Fabio Silva, who came on as a substitute, scored in the 89th minute to give Borussia Dortmund a 2:2 draw at the Allianz Arena in the Bundesliga top match. Bayern had taken the lead through Konrad Laimer in the 38th minute, and Serhou Guirassy levelled for Dortmund in the 60th. Dayot Upamecano put Bayern back in front in the 66th minute before Silva's late strike ended the contest level. The meeting was the 115th Bundesliga encounter between the two clubs and neither side left with all three points.

Kane honoured before kickoff

Before the match Bayern and the league paid tribute to Harry Kane, who had been named the world's best player at a gala in London on Monday, 26 October. Kane walked onto the pitch holding the trophy in front of 75,000 spectators, and his family joined him on the grass, including his wife Katie and their four children. He wore a special boot with a gold sole, with the names of his four children printed on the back. The Bundesliga also projected footage of his career onto the Olympiaturm, the tallest building in Munich, and a drone captured the image for live broadcast. Bayern supporters cheered while Dortmund fans whistled, and referee Tobias Stieler waited briefly before starting the match.

Kane is the first Bayern player since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981 to win the award, and the last Bundesliga player to receive it was Matthias Sammer in 1996, according to DIE WELT. Bayern's chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen spoke about the occasion.

“It is the biggest thing that can happen to us as a club.”

Injuries and team news

The match was costly for Bayern in terms of fitness. Ismael Saibari was injured in the 29th minute and Serge Gnabry in the 31st, and both had to be substituted early in the nationally televised game. Michael Olise also left the pitch late, appearing exhausted, and further time out is feared for the squad. Joshua Kimmich returned to the lineup after a bereavement in his family and after missing three Bayern matches, and he was again the source of many of the attacks. The injuries came three days ahead of Bayern's Champions League game at Atlético Madrid. Coach Vincent Kompany remained absent while recovering from an illness described as a meningeal irritation.

Key moments of the match

Kane's own evening was mixed. He had the chance to put Bayern 2:0 ahead from the penalty spot in the 56th minute but failed to convert it, and he struck the post in the 75th minute. Olise also hit the frame in the 10th minute. Dortmund's equaliser and Silva's late goal kept the result in doubt until the final whistle, and the sequence of goals is shown in the timeline above.
