Sane with the dummy, Lewandowski with the touch and control before he smashes the ball home past Hitz from 20 yards with an outstanding strike low across goal. What a way to win this game in the final minutes!

GORETZKA COMPLETES THE COMEBACK!
The former Schalke midfielder may just have stolen all three points for Bayern to complete an incredible comeback. Meunier's clearance falls to him on the edge and it's a miss-hit volley, but it bounces beyond the reach of Hitz to nestle in the bottom corner.

The substitute spots Neuer off his line from the halfway line and shoots at goal with the ball on the bounce. Neuer recovers to grab that, but it was a good idea nonetheless.

BAYERN STILL ON TOP
The hosts have had only four shots on goal in the second half compared to 12 in the first, but they remain the most likely to bag a winner here if they last 10 minutes are anything to go by. Kimmich is driving his team on, but Dortmund are standing firm.

A few minutes of pressure here for Bayern with successive corners, which Dortmund clear. But the hosts have the attacking impetus at the moment.

The Dortmund striker is down after a challenge from Alaba on the break. It's his right foot which is the problem, but he looks like he should be able to continue.

HAALAND ALL ALONE
Bayern are taking control of this game again with possession all theirs, and it's leaving Haaland isolated in attack. When Dortmund win the ball they're looking for their main man to hold up the play. But it's proving difficult.

BIG CHANCE!
Kimmich shoots at goal from 25 yards out and it looks a simple one for Hitz, but he fumbles it back in front of goal. Coman is onto it, but the Dortmund goalkeeper recovers to make a diving block and keep it out.

HAZARD GOES CLOSE!
Schulz sends a cross into the area from the left with Haaland and Alaba challenging for the first ball. It comes through to Hazard on the volley, but he hits the side-netting at the near post.

LEWANDOWSKI LEVELS IT!
Anything Haaland can do... Lewandowski steps up and slots the ball past Hitz with his 30th goal of the campaign. Just 10 more to reach the magic 40 of Gerd Müller but for now, most importantly, it has brought us level in Munich before the break.

DEFENSIVELY SOUND
Dortmund's set-up is proving troublesome for Bayern so far. Just one shot on target for the hosts, but BVB will want to make sure they don't sit in too deep. If anyone knows how to break through a defence like this, it's Bayern.

Great play from Bayern as Süle's ball into the middle is chested down by Goretzka for Lewandowski to hit at goal, but his left-footed volley whizzes wide at the near post.

THREE-MAN DEFENCE
Dortmund are lining up with Can in defence, to the right of Hummels with Zagadou to the left. With Meunier and Schulz dropping deep on either side as well, it turns into a five-man backline when Bayern have the ball. So far, the plan is working perfectly.

SANE NOT FAR AWAY
Kimmich whips in a beautiful cross towards the back post where Sane is running away from Schulz, but the winger can't keep his header on target from close range.

BAYERN LACKING TEMPO
"Faster, faster" is the cry from the sidelines as Bayern look to get going here. So far their build-up play has been slow and Dortmund have stayed one step ahead at both ends of the pitch.

HAALAND HAS TWO!
No, you're not reading this wrong. Haaland has found the net for the second time in the space of the opening 9 minutes. Dahoud's pass to Schulz on the left is fantastic and he slots Hazard in behind, who cuts the ball across past Neuer and in the perfect place for Haaland to hit home.

A heavy hit on Goretzka as Hitz comes out to punch clear Coman's cross from the left. He goes through Goretzka to reach it and he's taking some treatment now but will be fine to carry on.

HAALAND FIRES HOME!
WOW! WHAT A START! Dortmund are ahead inside two minutes in Munich. Meunier's high ball into the middle isn't dealt with on the edge of the Bayern area and Haaland can bring it down. He has space to shoot and a touch off Boateng takes it into the far bottom corner past Neuer.

BAYERN NOT ON TOP, FOR NOW...
As we've mentioned, the defending champions have dropped off the top of the table for now after Leipzig's win earlier. Bayern are the league’s 67-goal top scorers, though, and it’s over a year since they failed to fire in the Bundesliga (0-0 against RB Leipzig on 9 February 2020).

KIMMICH ON DER KLASSIKER
"Games against Dortmund are always special. Since I've been here, they've always been our fiercest rivals. We're ahead of them in the table, but Dortmund have the quality to compete at the top. That's why mentality might make the difference in the end, so we have to show we really want it."
HAALAND ON LEWANDOWSKI
Dortmund's No.9 has his say on his opposite number as two of world football's top strikers go head-to-head for third time ever in the Bundesliga. "Bayern are a fantastic team, but Lewandowski is crazy. Whenever I score, I think 'I'm one goal closer to him'. Then he goes and scores a hat-trick. What he's doing is mad. I can learn a lot from him."

BAYERN TEAM NEWS
Gnabry, who marked his return from injury with a late brace, is on the bench once again with Sane preferred on the right-hand side of the attack, while Coman replaces 18-year-old Musiala on the opposite flank. Süle continues at right-back, with Pavard having only returned to training in midweek following illness.
BVB TEAM NEWS
Interim coach Terzic will have been delighted to beaten Gladbach in the DFB Cup inside 90 minutes, but it came at the cost of in-form Sancho as well as Guerreiro - the pair having come away with muscular complaints. Germany left-back Schulz fills the Guerreiro void, while Hazard comes into the front three behind Haaland. With Witsel still out, Dahoud joins Delaney in the centre of midfield.

FLICK: “WE NEED TO BE IN THE FIGHT RIGHT FROM THE START”
“We’re at the top of the table and we want to stay there,” said Bayern coach Flick at his media briefing before the game. “We want to beat Dortmund and that’s the approach we’re taking into it. “Everyone is highly motivated against one of the top teams in Germany. We’ll need to be at our best, and be in the fight right from the start.”
TERZIC: “WE WANT TO PLAY WITH COURAGE AND TOGETHERNESS”
“We’ll need to be wide awake from the off,” said Terzic at his pre-match press conference. “If we lose possession in the middle they can score right away. They’ve also been dangerous from set-pieces against us, so we’ll need to be careful there. There will be things we can’t prevent from happening, but we’ll need to show a good reaction. The most important thing is that we do things they can’t precent from happening. We want to play with courage and togetherness out on the pitch in Munich.”

FORM - BAYERN
Hansi Flick's men haven't been at their best in terms of dominating games of late, but they've still been picking up results. Since losing back-to-back games in January - to Gladbach in the league and Kiel in the cup - Bayern have won nine of their subsequent 11 competitive fixtures (including winning the FIFA Club World Cup), drawing one and losing one - to Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 22.
FORM - DORTMUND
Edin Terzic's men come into this game in good shape and they are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, a run that has included four wins. That includes a Champions League triumph away to Sevilla and a victory away to Gladbach in the DFB Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday. BVB defeated Arminia Bielefeld 3-0 last week in the Bundesliga, a result that kept them in fifth place, 13 points behind Bayern.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Bayern have the edge historically, having won 49 of the 103 Bundesliga meetings between these sides. Dortmund have triumphed just 25 times, while there have been 29 draws. The Reds have won each of the last four league matches against BVB, scoring 13 and conceding just two in that period. Bayern have won each of their last six Klassiker games in Munich.
DEPLETED DORTMUND
We'll have the confirmed line-ups a bit nearer kick-off, but we already know that Dortmund are without several key players for this one. Axel Witsel would normally start in central midfield, but he remains sidelined with an Achilles injury, while centre-back Manuel Akanji is out with a muscle tear. Not only that, but the club confirmed that Jadon Sancho, Gio Reyna and Raphael Guerreiro are unavailable due to minor injuries. The absence of Sancho, in particular, is a big blow, as the Englishman has six goals and three assists in last eight competitive outings.
