Winning run ends: Bayern held 2-2 at Union, Kane rescues late point | OneFootball

FC Bayern ended its historic winning streak in Berlin – after 16 consecutive competitive victories, Vincent Kompany's team could only manage a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin. The hosts earned their point with passionate fighting and two goals from set pieces, while Harry Kane salvaged at least a draw for the Munich team in stoppage time.

Kompany made only one change after the 2-1 victory at Paris Saint-Germain: Leon Goretzka replaced Aleksandar Pavlovic in midfield. However, the start was unsuccessful – Union was more aggressive, more present in the duels, and posed early problems for Bayern.

As early as the 9th minute, the Iron Ones celebrated: Ilyas Ansah scored after a corner but was narrowly offside – the VAR disallowed the goal. Shortly after, the Berliners could truly celebrate: After a corner from Janik Haberer, Danilho Doekhi scored from ten meters into the corner – Manuel Neuer got a hand on it but couldn't hold the ball (27th minute).

Bayern only woke up after falling behind – and found their way back into the game thanks to a stroke of genius. Josip Stanisic played a long ball to the byline, but Luis Díaz fought for the ball, outsmarted his opponent, and hammered it unstoppably into the far corner from a tight angle – 1-1 (38th minute).

Shortly before the break, both Ansah and Díaz could have scored again, before Kane tapped in a rebound, but was offside. The teams went into the break at 1-1 – a scoreline that accurately reflected the course of the game.

After the break, the game remained hard-fought. Michael Olise had the best chance for Bayern after an hour, but Rönnow made a strong save. Kompany brought on young Lennart Karl for Serge Gnabry, but the hoped-for turnaround did not materialize.

Instead, Doekhi struck again: After a free kick from Haberer, the Union captain headed in to make it 2-1 in the 83rd minute – causing a shock moment for the Munich side.

But Bayern did not give up. In stoppage time, Tom Bischof delivered a pinpoint cross to Harry Kane, who headed in to make it 2-2 and at least saved a point for his team.

Bayern remains league leader – Kompany with cautionary words

Despite the setback, FC Bayern remains the leader of the Bundesliga. For Kompany and his team, a historic series comes to an end, but the coach is likely to see the point as a valuable signal: Even in difficult games, the team fights until the last minute.

After the international break, Munich will host SC Freiburg on November 22 (3:30 PM) at the Allianz Arena – with the clear mission to immediately return to the path of success.
