Borussia Dortmund 1 - 0 Bayern Munich!!

For me, the best player on the field was Mats Hummels, who has stopped a few clear chances with his impressive intuition. Can you believe that this player was sold for only 4 million Euros by Bayern to Dortmund? Dortmund was very lucky to score that goal, as it was a clear handball when Goetze took the ball and that confused Boateng a lot. The fouls which were made on Gomez were outside the penalty box, the one which seemed to be a foul, but no replay was given, was on Luiz Gustavo. But this cannot be an excuse for Bayern when they play at home, as they should have beaten Dortmund, as the more quality is certainly in Bayern's squad. Schweinsteiger is at this moment indispensable for Bayern, as he knows when to slow down the game, when to fasten it, when to play the pass and where. I hope that on Tuesday his absence will not be so important and Bayern will get the win against Villareal to qualify from the group stages.

wow..Goetze give the proof that he is key player for Dortmund and Germany national team... sooner or later, Goetze will move out from Dortmund..Maybe arsenal, or Madrid is his next club.. but this result make Germany league so interesting./..

I never expected this result, at least not at Allianz Arena. This result throw the league wide open as there is only two points separating the top two clubs. This will mean one thing. More excitement for the fans and neutrals.

We'll, it was great performance by dortmund, they able to beat FC hollywood in their home. I think this going to be interestng to see continuity of the bundesliga which now getting closer bewteen many teams. So FC hollywood is no longer dominated this league for couple of recent years.

Hi, I watched this match too, late into the night, in my place and it did not feel good to see Bayern on the losing side at home, after a long time. Good to see so many followers of the Bunderliga and the analysis of the Bayern's match against BVB made here are just as fair and factual as it can be. To sum it up, the result reflects that - 1. Bayern players looked a little tired throughout the match (less than 100%) and seemd to be outpaced by BVB players for pace, who had fewer representatives in the international friendlies. 2. Yes, Heynckes is a better coach than what he did with his decision to play Robben right from the outset. He should have been substituted in the second half but I feel that the absence of Tymoschuk (red carded last match) and Schweinsteiger (injury) might have influenced his decision. 3. Schweinsteiger was clearly missed as he is the nucleus of Bayern's game and controls the pace of the game so nicely. 4. Both Hummels and Santana got on top of Robben and Ribery effectively throughout the match which made a huge difference. 5. Ribery and Robben would be more effective when they play as a team than concentrating on claiming indivual goals. 6. Kroos has been in good form both for Bayern and Germany with his performances but he has still some way to go to really be considered in the same class as Schweinsteiger. 7. I expected Bayern to come up strongly after the half-time interval and BVB to slow down a bit (since they played a fast game in the first half and would have got tired). But to my surprise they (BVB) kept up their pace for the entire match which I think was the reason they won (though with a lucky goal that Bayern did not deserve to concede). Though a Bayern fan, I am, in one way, happy to see BVB playing well (being an ardent fan of German soccer) and head to Arsenal for a crucial match in the champions league. Hope this match has not taken a heavy toll on the BVB players and I would like to see BVB play the same way and come out truimphant against Arsenal. Meanwhile, Bayern have a relatively easier fixture against Villareal in the CL whom they beat earlier away. I am excited and cant wait to watch these matches on two successive days.

Almost forgot to mention in my previou post. I do like the way Reus and Gotze are shaping up. Reus was ruthless in Monchengladbach's match against Werder Bremen and is on top of the 'wish list' on Bayern's transfer targets. Gotze, who is yet to reflect his Bundesliga class for the German team, is also wanted by Bayern and so many other clubs. My thought is, both these players much now concentrate on only playing good foodball and improve rather than be targets of these transfer talks, as Euro is fast approaching.
