The meeting began with an intense rhythm. In the 12th minute, Upamecano opened the scoring with a right-footed shot from close range, assisted by a header from Harry Kane after a corner. The goal was confirmed by the referee, although the VAR did not have to intervene. Bayern's second goal came in the 67th minute, when Laimer took advantage of a cross from Michael Olise to finish with his right foot, beating the goalkeeper and giving the Bavarians the lead. Dortmund's goal, scored by Guirassy in the 84th minute, was a low left-footed shot, assisted by Carney Chukwuemeka, who tied the score before the end of regulation time.
The match was marked by several fouls and yellow cards. Josip Stanisic received a yellow card for dangerous play and was replaced by Serge Gnabry, who also had to leave the field due to injury. On the Dortmund side, Nico Schlotterbeck and Felix Nmecha were flagged for fouls in the defensive zone, and Jobe Bellingham received a yellow card for dangerous play. The VAR intervened on two occasions: once to confirm Upamecano's goal and another to annul a Bellingham goal after verifying a previous foul.
Throughout the match, both teams had clear opportunities, but the Bavarian defense showed solidity, especially in the second half, when it managed to contain Dortmund's attacks and maintain the advantage.
