"Bayern Munich maintained their winning start to the Bundesliga season with a composed 2-1 victory over an in-form Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday. The Bavarians started brightly at the Allianz Arena, with Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich applying early pressure, prompting Gregor Kobel into action in the opening minutes. Olise and Luis Diaz then forced Kobel into a splendid double-save before Harry Kane broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute with a bullet header at the near-post off Kimmich's pinpoint corner."
"The hosts pushed for a second before the break and nearly found it as Olise weaved through the box and struck the base of the post. Dortmund came out stronger after the restart, with Serhou Guirassy squandering two good chances, first blazing over the bar before dragging an effort wide following a sloppy Kimmich turnover. Olise's efforts finally bore fruit in the 78th minute, when he slid in to steer home Diaz's low pass across the face of goal. Dortmund hit back six minutes later as substitute Julian Brandt met Julian Ryerson's delivery with a sharp near-post volley to make it 2-1, but the visitors failed to find an equaliser despite Felix Nmecha and Nico Schlotterbeck spurning late chances."
