With 13 points and five places in the table separating the two, the classic tonight (Saturday) between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund that took place at the Allianz Arena was less a meeting between teams but more a battle between two players, strikers, monsters.
Arling Holland vs. Robert Lewandowski, the future vs. the present, the Norwegian Viking vs. the Polish bomber.
As the smoke that these two left on the grass dissipated in the first half, Bayern turned a 0-2 deficit into a 2-4 victory, the fifth in a row against the biggest rival in all competitions, which kept them in first place in the table.
The beginning was all about the guests and the Netherlands.
The Dortmund striker needed at least two minutes to score the first with a long-range kick that hit Jerome Boateng and misled Manuel Neuer, and another seven minutes to turn Thorgen Hazar's cross into 0-2.
As befits one who does things fast, the 20-year-old striker has reached with this duo 100 goals in his career in 146 games - faster than Mbabane, Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan and whoever has not.
Lewandowski's answer was not long in coming.
In the 26th minute he was in the right place to push in a wide ball from Leroy Sana, and a minute before the break he scored from the penalty spot the 2: 2.
With his double, the Pole reached 30 goals this season in the league and 36 goals this season in all competitions.
The turning point of the game came in the 59th minute when the injured Netherlands were replaced with the thought of Dortmund's rematch in the Champions League against Sevilla in the middle of the week.
Without him, Edin Terezic's team lost its punch, and Bayern increased the pressure in search of victory.
It was only in the 88th minute that Hansi Flick's team scored the third when Leon Gorczka scored with a kick from the air, and a minute later Lewandowski put the personal and team stamp with his third of the game and his 31st of the season.
