Borussia Dortmund took the lead after 26 minutes, thanks to Nico Schlotterbeck. The defender rose brilliantly in the area to head home a superb free-kick from Daniel Svensson. The goal was somewhat controversial: mere minutes earlier he had launched into a reckless tackle on Josip Stanisic; a VAR intervention followed, but he was only booked, allowing him to open the scoring.

Dortmund threatened on the break throughout the first half, but Bayern regrouped at halftime and levelled within the first 10 minutes of the second half. Harry Kane volleyed home after Serge Gnabry headed down a chip from Joshua Kimmich into the England captain's path.

In the 68th minute Schlotterbeck fouled Stanisic in the area. Kane stepped up and scored from the spot despite Gregor Kobel getting a solid hand to the kick. Dortmund would not lie down; Svensson produced a brilliant volley to bring his side level at Signal Iduna Park with seven minutes remaining.
