Farewell to the “Klassiker”

This was the last “Klassiker” for attacking midfielder Thomas Müller . All goals came in the second half. Striker Beier opened the scoring early on with a header from a cross by Ryerson. Full-back Raphaël Guerreiro equalized in the 20th minute after a fine assist from Müller. Bayern turned the game around a few minutes later with a great individual play by striker Gnabry. However, Dortmund scored the second goal with defender Anton, on the rebound from Guirassy’s shot.
