"During Bayern Munich's first goal, star striker Harry Kane gave Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy a subtle ( or maybe not so subtle) nudge to clear some space and get his head on Joshua Kimmich's corner for a goal and a 1-0 lead. The Bavarians would eventually pull out a tough 2-1 victory, but BVB boss Niko Kovač says that given the way the game was officiated, the goal should have been waved off."
"There was a brief contact [with Guirassy]. But I have to say one thing: Bastian Dankert whistled today in such a way that he should have whistled that. He blew the whistle on everything, so he should have whistled that too. If he had let the play continue in other situations, then he can let that too. But for me, that was a clear mistake because of his decision to whistle everything. He should have disallowed it,"
"Bayern Munich got off to a rousing start during its 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the latest edition of Der Klassiker, but it was a nervy ending for the Bavarians. The home side appeared to wear down and wilt under pressure from Borussia Dortmund as the game went on, but it was a gutty effort to even preserve the win under what many would consider to be a shaky second half."
Harry Kane nudged Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy to create space and get on Joshua Kimmich's corner, resulting in Bayern's opening goal and a 1-0 lead. Bayern ultimately won 2-1, but BVB head coach Niko Kovač argued the goal should have been disallowed due to the contact and inconsistent refereeing by Bastian Dankert. Kovač described the whistle pattern as a clear mistake because the referee had been blowing for many incidents. Dortmund applied heavy pressure as Bayern tired, forcing a nervy finish. A postgame show will examine lineups, scoring, substitutions, and final match takeaways.
