League leaders Bayern Munich have kept pursuer RB Leipzig one point away in the German Bundesliga. The two teams parted on Sunday evening in the big hit of the 21st round in the Allianz Arena in Munich. As with the 1-1 draw on September 14 in Leipzig, there was no winner in the duel between the two contenders for the title and everything remained the same in the table.
Even in the duel between the ÖFB team players, Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho did not win a point. David Alaba played in the central defense of the defending champion as always, the Leipzig Marcel Sabitzer and asset item Konrad Laimer were in action in the midfield over the full distance. Hannes Wolf, however, had to watch the action from the bank.
Bayern were clearly game-defining before the break, with the best chance Dayot Upamecano almost scored an own goal in an important clarifying act after completing Robert Lewandowski (39.). The Leipzig team mostly only ran after the ball, but subsequently became braver and also extremely dangerous. Immediately after the restart, Sabitzer chased the ball over the goal from a central position (46.). On the other hand, Lewandowski was fouled by Upamecano in the penalty area, but the penalty after video study was not given due to an offside position (54.).
At that time, the Leipzig leadership was more in the air, Timo Werner pushed the ball from around eleven meters past the empty goal (63.). There was a similar top-class opportunity for Bayern in the final phase. But Leon Goretzka also lacked the coldness in the end, failed due to ex-Salzburg goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi (80th).
The Munich team did not win again after six league wins in a row. Therefore, the record champions’ lead over the third Borussia Dortmund and fourth Borussia Mönchengladbach, whose game against 1. FC Köln was postponed, is only four points. The second-placed “Bulls” are now four competitive games without a win, but the point can certainly be booked as a success after the out in the round of 16 against Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday.
