Takeaways from Bayern Munich’s victory against rivals Borussia Dortmund.

In an exciting encounter at Signal Iduna Park, Bayern Munich came out on top with a 1-0 win against Borussia Dortmund. This was the big match in determining the Bundesliga champions at the end of the season. It will be tough for Dortmund to catch up Die Roten in the league after this result. The victory for Munich opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the table with only six matches left to go.

The game was fast-paced and very entertaining, even though only one goal was scored in the game. Dortmund started the match very confident and pressed Bayern. Die Roten were made to work hard in the first quarter of the game as BVB surged ahead consistently to find the breakthrough.

The away side steadied that pressure and were able to get a beautiful goal by Joshua Kimmich late in the first half. After receiving the ball at the edge of the box, he decided to chip it over the goalkeeper into the far corner. It was a wonderful goal that gave the Bavarians the confidence to go on and win the match.

Bayern will have to keep up their concentration for the rest of the season if they want to win the title. Dortmund are a very talented side, so they will do their best to push the Rekordmeister until the very end. Here are some takeaways from this weekend’s match.
