But the Borussia players regrouped and grew into the match by the minute. After Carney Chukwuemeka and Maxi Beier saw their shots blocked by the stingy FCB backline (14'), the highly active Jobe Bellingham released a shot from 18 meters (roughly 19.7 yards) out, forcing Jonas Urbig into a save. The Bayern goalkeeper parried the ball around the right post (22'). With the exception of an individual run by Ismael Saibiri \u2014 which was stifled by Gregor Kobel and resulted in the FCB man having to come off injured (24') \u2014 the Black & Yellow increasingly set the tone in this intriguing match. In the 34th minute, Bayern passed the ball around in its own penalty area, first inviting pressure and then allowing Bellingham to fire into the open net from six meters (roughly 6.6 yards) out.

To the Black & Yellow's credit, they remained proactive after the frustrating setback and nearly equalized before halftime through Bellingham, whose shot went narrowly wide (41'). Chukwuemeka and Beier then had quality looks of their own inside stoppage time.<\/p>\nAfter the break, BVB lacked some of its physicality and assertivenss from the first half. After Kobel had to put his quality on full display to keep Laimer from getting a second (47'), referee Tobias Stieler pointed to the spot after a brief delay, having spotted a handball by Nmecha.

Although Bayern amassed a considerable advantage in shots after the break, the Black & Yellow continued to show grit and determination en route to making it 2-2 in the 89th minute of play. FCB failed to clear after a BVB corner, and Silva fired the ball into the far-side netting from the right side of the area (89').

Although Bayern amassed a considerable advantage in shots after the break, the Black & Yellow continued to show grit and determination en route to making it 2-2 in the 89th minute of play. FCB failed to clear after a BVB corner, and Silva fired the ball into the far-side netting from the right side of the area (89'). In the end, Silva and company were fortunate to escape with a point, as Lennart Karl's spectacular long-range effort bounced off the top of the crossbar (90'+5). \n<\/p>\n<h2>BAYERN MUNICH \u2013 BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2-2 (1-0)<\/h2>\nBundesliga, Matchday 8<\/b>, Saturday, October 31, 2026, 18:30 CET (6:30 p.m.)<\/p>\nFCB:<\/b> Urbig \u2013 Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies \u2013 Kimmich, Pavlovic \u2013 Kane \u2013 Olise (74' Karl), Saibari (29' Brown), Gnabry (31' Stanisic) \nBench:<\/b> Ulreich, Boey, Ito, Tah, Bischof, Binder<\/p>\nBVB:<\/b> Kobel \u2013 Gadou (87' Ryerson), Anton, Schlotterbeck, Svensson \u2013 Beier (67' Sabitzer), Bellingham (87' Inacio), Veerman, Nmecha (76' Silva) \u2013 Guirassy, Chukwuemeka (67' Karetsas) \nBench:<\/b> Meyer, Bensebaini, Nwaneri, Mane \nUnavailable:<\/b> Can (individual training), Konstantelias (torn ACL), Lerma (muscle issues)<\/p>\nGoals:<\/b> 1-0 Laimer (38'), 1-1 Guirassy (60', from Chukwuemeka), 2-1 Upamecano (66'., from Kane), 2-2 Silva (89'., from Karetsas) \nYellow cards:<\/b> Stanisic, Laimer \u2013 Bellingham \nReferee:<\/b> Stieler (from Sölden in the Black Forest region) \nAttendance:<\/b> 75,024 (sellout) at Allianz Arena \nBoris Rupert<\/i><\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"40-Grafik-1793470871488\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/31/bl-spielbericht/40-Grafik.jpg\"><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-345c585281","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"BVB Earns Point in Munich Thanks to Goals by Guirassy and Silva","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","title":"Related Match","multiValue":true,"value":["/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2026_2027/22/2653242_8_bayernmuenchen-borussiadortmund"],"exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in News Wall on Homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.

Bayern didn\u2019t expect us to play with a back four. That was one of the reasons we played very well in the first half. I liked that the team didn\u2019t give up. Playing against Borussia Dortmund has been a difficult task for quite some time now.\u201d<\/p>\nOle Book<\/b> (in the mixed zone): \u201cWe kept at it and kept coming back. It was an exciting game, but I felt good about the team\u2019s performance the entire time \u2014 from the opening minute right through to the end. We appraoched the game with a brave lineup and mindset, and our coaches caught the opposition by surprise a bit when we executed our planned switch to a back four a few minutes in. We had a lot of possession in the first half. That\u2019s certainly a step forward in terms of the way we want to play football.

I feel we deserve this point.<\/p>\nNico Schlotterbeck<\/b> (on BVB-TV): \u201cWe played a very solid game and had stretches of possession. Of course, there were times when we had to suffer, but overall we did really well with our back-four press and earned this point. We\u2019re a very good team and don't need to be afraid of anyone.

Coach Daniel Rios\u2019s team will host third-place FC Gütersloh on Saturday (2 p.m.) at the Rote Erde Stadium. A win over the East Westphalians would boost morale ahead of the top-of-the-table clash a week later against the league-leading team from Oberhausen, which is tied on points. After five straight wins, Borussia appears ready for these two tough challenges and aims to maintain its status as the league\u2019s only remaining undefeated team. <\/p>\nIt won\u2019t be easy. Gütersloh is the league\u2019s strongest away team and has yet to suffer a loss on the road, with five wins and two draws. It\u2019s no coincidence that Rios counts the visitors among the favorites in the promotion race.<\/p>\nWith a win, Gütersloh could cut BVB\u2019s lead to just two points. <\/p>\n<h2>U19 Hosts Rival Duisburg <\/b><\/h2>\nOne week after the unfortunate 0-0 draw in the Revierderby at FC Schalke, the U19s face their next challenging task. The league leaders from Dortmund will host second-place MSV Duisburg on Saturday (11 a.m.). Although the visitors have played one fewer game than BVB so far, they trail by just one point. With a win in this clash between the two teams that remain undefeated so far, they could therefore move ahead of Borussia. \u201cThis matchup will likely decide who takes first place in the group. We want to stay in first,\u201d says BVB coach Felix Hirschnagl. <\/p>\nAfter a grueling schedule featuring three games in one week and over 11,000 kilometers of travel, his team had little time to recover recently. Now, the team has been able to focus more specifically on preparation. The coach expects a match as closely contested as the first leg in Duisburg at the end of August. Only a late equalizer by striker Bjarki Gardarsson in the 87th minute\u2014sealing a 1-1 draw\u2014saved the team from defeat.<\/p>\nThe match against the \u201cZebras\u201d also serves as a dress rehearsal for the team\u2019s next challenge in the UEFA Youth League. Next Wednesday (4 November, 4:00 p.m.), Borussia will host Real Betis. After two wins and one loss on the international stage, the team aims to take the next step toward the knockout round.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"U19-Derby-Schalke-1793352334194\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/10/25/spielbericht-u19-derby/U19-Derby-Schalke.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>U17 Aims to Knock Schalke Off Top Spot<\/b><\/h2>\nWhen FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund face off, excitement is guaranteed.

With an 11-point lead over fourth-place Duisburg, both teams have excellent prospects of advancing. The top three teams in the group qualify for the next round.
