"Niko Kovac's men would have been intent on taking something from the game to remain within striking distance. However, in the first half, Bayern were head and shoulders above Dortmund and deservedly took the lead midway through the half when Harry Kane headed in the opener from a Joshua Kimmich corner. Based on the balance of play and chances created, Die Roten should have a bigger lead going into the half-time interval."
"The second half was a different kettle of fish as Dortmund rallied and, fortunately for Bayern, missed two good chances in the first 25 minutes as Bayern appeared out of sync during this phase. Bayern managed to deliver the knock-out punch as Michael Olise doubled the advantage with eleven minutes left in the regulation time. A goal from Dortmund substitute-Julian Brandt in the 84th minute added more drama late on, but Bayern defended resolutely thereafter to secure the 2-1 victory."
