"Not everyone was a fan of Bayern Munich's opening goal, a towering Harry Kane header deftly placed beyond Gregor Kobel's reach in the 22nd minute of Saturday's 2-1 Der Klassiker victory over Borussia Dortmund. BVB coach Niko Kovač was sharply critical afterwards, saying it should not have been allowed, while Dortmund defender and reported Bayern transfer target Nico Schlotterbeck struck a more conciliatory tone regarding what he still described as a "push.""
"Bayern's Joshua Kimmich falls in that camp. "Even [BVB striker Serhou] Guirassy wasn't complaining," Kimmich noted in post-match comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. "No, that's not a foul. I think we all agree on that. Otherwise, we'd have to call many fouls in the penalty area on set pieces." 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."
Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 Der Klassiker win over Borussia Dortmund with a 22nd-minute Harry Kane header. Dortmund figures protested the opening goal, with coach Niko Kovač calling it illegitimate and defender Nico Schlotterbeck calling it a push. Referee Bastian Dankert ruled there was no sufficient push to overturn the goal. Joshua Kimmich noted that even Serhou Guirassy did not complain and affirmed the contact did not constitute a foul. Bayern started strongly but faced heavy pressure and a tense second half as the team showed signs of weariness that Vincent Kompany must address.
