Bayern is defeated by Levekusen and leaves the head to Dortmund

Bayern Munich suffered their third defeat of the season as they lost 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen and were forced to surrender the Bundesliga title to Borussia Dortmund.

The German champions scored first through Kimmich in the 22nd minute and dominated for minutes, giving the impression of another routine victory in the German championship. So perhaps coach Julian Nagelsmann thought, who at the beginning of the second half made three substitutions, removing Cancelo, Mane and Muller for Gnabry, Coman and Musiala.

But ten minutes after the start of the second half, an intervention in the area was first allowed by the referee, who, after seeing it in VAR, awarded 11-meters, expertly executed by Palacios. The Argentinian would take the lead over the locals led by former Bavarian Xabi Alonso in the 73rd minute. Even in this case, VAR was decisive. Initially, the referee gave a yellow for simulation to the Leverkusen striker, but after reviewing the action, he signaled from the penalty spot and punished the Bayern defender, Upamecano, with a yellow.

Bayern tried until the end to find the equalizer, but were out of ideas and did not succeed. The German champions now have 2 weeks off, as they await Dortmund at the "Allianz Arena" on April 1, in the direct challenge for the title.
