Despite goals from Harry Kane and Luis Díaz, Bayern extend their winless run as Hamburg secure a vital point in the relegation battle.
Bayern Munich’s dominance at the top of the Bundesliga has hit a sudden speed bump. Following last week’s shock home defeat to Augsburg, the reigning champions were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw away at Hamburger SV (HSV) this Saturday.
The Match: Kane and Díaz Can’t Secure the Win
The Bavarians seemed to have the game under control with their star-studded attack. Harry Kane found the net once more, supported by a clinical finish from Luis Díaz. However, Bayern’s defensive lapses allowed the hosts to claw their way back into the contest.
The Volksparkstadion erupted when Fábio Vieira converted a coolly taken penalty, and the comeback was completed by teenage sensation Luka Vuskovic, who stunned the league leaders to ensure the points were shared.
Bundesliga Title Race Update
Despite the two-game winless streak, Bayern Munich still maintains a comfortable nine-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund. However, the recent drop in form will surely raise questions for the coaching staff ahead of the upcoming Champions League fixtures.
Lifeline for Hamburg
For HSV, this result is monumental. A defeat would have seen them slip into the 16th-place relegation playoff spot. By holding the giants to a draw, Hamburg gains a psychological boost and a crucial point in their fight to remain in Germany’s top flight.
