Bayern Munich held 3-3 by Leipzig in Bundesliga clash
Bayern Munich held 3-3 by Leipzig on Saturday evening at the Red Bull Arena in a thrilling Round 32 Bundesliga encounter. Despite leading 3-2 late in the game, the defending champions conceded a stoppage-time equalizer that postponed their hopes of sealing the title.
The result lifts Bayern Munich to 76 points at the top of the table, nine ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who play Freiburg on Sunday. A loss for Leverkusen would confirm Bayern as champions, but otherwise, the Bavarians must secure at least a point in their next game against Borussia Mönchengladbach to clinch the Bundesliga title.
Leipzig strike early with two goals
RB Leipzig started strong, punishing Bayern for early errors. Benjamin Sesko capitalized on a goalkeeper mistake to open the scoring in the 11th minute with a long-range strike. Lukas Klostermann then doubled the lead in the 39th minute with a powerful header from a free-kick.
Bayern mount a second-half comeback
Bayern Munich started the second half with renewed intensity. Eric Dier headed home in the 62nd minute, and just a minute later, Michael Oliseh scored a low-driven goal to make it 2-2. In the 83rd minute, Leroy Sane gave Bayern the lead with a stunning long-range effort.
Late drama denies Bayern the win
The match took a final twist in stoppage time when Yussuf Poulsen broke through and beat the goalkeeper one-on-one to score Leipzig’s third, ensuring Bayern Munich were held 3-3 by Leipzig in a match that had everything.
