The tragic figure of the Bundesliga top game between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich: Mats Hummels played a bad pass before Bayern's first goal, was shot before the second goal and also caused the hand penalty to make it 2: 3 (1: 2) against his ex-club.

Dortmund took the lead thanks to the strong Julian Brandt.
The national player, who was not called up recently, made a strong game not only because of his goal.
In the second half, he had to be replaced after a worrying clash with Bayern's Dayot Upamecano.

The lead did not last long because Lewandowski used a Hummels mistake to compensate.
Dortmund tried again and again to stage its storm star Erling Haaland, which is why there were repeated intense duels with Upamecano and pictures like this one.

The Dortmunders then became frustrated, especially in the direction of the referee.
Previously, a controversial decision in the Munich penalty area had been decided in favor of Bayern.
Jude Bellingham should also mourn his own chances here.

The mood at Bayern, however, was brilliant.
Like here with sports director Hasan Salihamidžić, the coach Julian Nagelsmann and assistant coach Dino Toppmöller.
With the victory they set themselves at the top of the table on four points from the Dortmunders, who remain the first pursuer.
