Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga title hopes dim after defeat to Borussia Dortmund

On Saturday night, Borussia Dortmund clinched their first victory at the Allianz Arena in nearly a decade, dealing a blow to Bayern Munich’s aspirations of catching Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga.

Bayern found themselves trailing from the beginning after Karim Adeyemi gave Dortmund an early lead in Der Klassiker. Despite numerous opportunities in the first half, the hosts failed to capitalize. Their second-half display lacked attacking fluidity, with Dortmund consistently threatening to score again.

Julian Ryerson’s precise strike doubled Borussia Dortmund’s advantage and secured a memorable victory. The outcome dashed Bayern’s dwindling title aspirations while bolstering Dortmund’s pursuit of a top-four finish.
