Bayern Munich was dominant in the first half of its 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund, but the squad faded in the second half as BVB mounted a charge.
To star striker Harry Kane, who scored the first goal
of the match, the effects of the international break eventually wore down the Bavarians.
“We played really well during 60 minutes. We could’ve been 2 or 3-0 up in the first half. In the second half we did well to hang on and get the win. It’s not easy after the international break, the most important thing is the three points. It was a big game, Dortmund were unbeaten for a while, we’re unbeaten too. We have to keep getting those wins. We’re doing that very well so far,” said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kane is not making excuses, the fatigue was real. Bayern Munich gutted out the victory and you can bet that the players will enjoy having the day off tomorrow.
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. Head coach Vincent Kompany will have to find a way to deal with the weariness of his boys, but for now, let’s talk about how it all played out.
