Full-time: Bayern 2-1 BVB

An intense and fascinating Der Klassiker battle goes Bayern's way. The hosts dominated a one-sided first half and took the lead through Harry Kane. A much-improved BVB made a game of it after the break, before falling 2-0 behind when Michael Olise bundled home. Julian Brandt's late goal sparked a terrific finish, but the Black-and-Yellows were left to rue a first loss of the season as Bayern moved five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.

Full-time

Kobel saves BVB

Bayern break through Olise. The attacker slides a pass over to Díaz who is free. Díaz takes his time in front of goal before shooting at the target. Kobel gets a strong hand to that and the chance is gone.

Bayern change

Vincent Kompany looks to take some of the pressure off his team by making a sub. Minjae Kim is on.

Here come Dortmund

Suddenly, the away side are making all of the running as Bayern look to focus on keeping their heads. Brandt finds Nmech who has a shot blocked.

BVB back in it?

Game on at the Allianz Arena! Ryerson whips a dangerous pass into the mixer from the right. Substitute Julian Brandt stretches out a leg and diverts the ball home for 2-1.

Dortmund heads drop

Unsurprisingly, BVB heads drop after that goal. The visitors had been mounting a decent fightback until that goal.

Bayern double up

Kane hits an incredible cross-field pass to pick out Luis Díaz. The attacker goes towards the area from the left and sends a dangerous ball past Kobel and across the face of goal. Jobe Bellingham is there, but he reacts a touch slowly, allowing Olise to race in and divert the loose ball home.

What a tackle!

Olise races into the Bayern box on the left and looks up to pick his spot. Schlotterbeck slides in and hooks the ball away. If the BVB defender got that an inch wrong, it was a penalty. Super tackle.

67'

Olise wasteful

Michael Olise is a touch too relaxed as he edges towards BVB's goal. The French attacker spurns a couple of decent chances in quick succession and BVB live to tell the tale.

Oh BVB

Well, well, well: that could well have been the equaliser. Kimmich gives up possession cheaply and Guirassy squares for Adeyemi who has the goal at his mercy. A slip from the Dortmund forward at the worst time, means his shot flies off target.

BVB improvement

BVB trouble

Dortmund are at sixes and sevens here. Kobel has the ball at his feet and is chased down by Jackson. The goalkeeper panics a clearance out for a corner, which comes to nothing.

40'

Díaz wants a goal

Bayern's wing wizard cuts inside and sizes up the far post with a powerful effort. His shot cannons off Anton.

38'

Dortmund still in this

The visitors have been by far the ones playing catch-up in this match but at just one goal down, they are still in Der Klassiker.

Off the post

Bayern are in swashbuckling mood here. Another tidy build-up ends with Olise playing a one-two with Pavlović before sending a low drive towards the corner. Kobel looks over his shoulder and is relieved to see the ball flick the outside of the post and fizz wide.

33'

Kane's pain

Schlotterbeck batters an attempted clearance that catches Kane square in the face. After a little treatment, the Englishman is back on his feet and good to go. In fact, Bayern's No. 9 is soon having another go at goal with a shot across the bows.

30'

Boey has a pop

Not long after Luis Díaz caused Gregor Kobel a problem, the Colombian is involved again as he feeds Olise, who in turn spreads the ball wide to Boey. The full-back slaps a shot across the face of goal and wide.

Cool-head Kane

He's done it again! Goal number 12 for the Bundesliga's leading scorer. It's a little too easy for the Bayern man, who rises to nod Joshua Kimmich's corner into the net from close range.

All Bayern

The hosts are pinging the ball around while BVB hold their shape in a tight block. The Black-and-Yellows look to be set-up for a counter-attacking game, with Karim Adeyemi poised to race away at any moment.

Kobel alert

Kimmich lets a shot fly from downtown. Kobel gets across to parry the ball away towards the touchline. Good effort from Kimmich.

Bayern danger

Suddenly, Michael Olise is in the danger zone and the home fans raise their voices in expectation. BVB group together to force the France international out.

Boey hurt

Schlotterbeck goes in hard on the back of Boey, who drops to the floor grabbing his thigh. The Bayern man gets to his feet and trudges on.

Peeeep!

Dortmund, kitted out in black and yellow, get the game going.

Kick-off!

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund take to the field and we're all set to go in Der Klassiker ...

Warming up!

It's the last of those Allianz Arena warm-ups for the teams as we edge ever closer to kick-off.

Süle first

Today is Niklas Süle's first Bundesliga game of the campaign. After picking up a calf injury in a pre-season friendly loss against Juventus on 10 August, the giant defender has been limited to 70 minutes of action against Athletic Club Bilbao in the Champions League so far this season.

0:09

Nagelsmann in the house

It's not surprising to see Germany's head coach present at the Allianz Arena today. Of the 10 German internationals from both of today's sides who formed part of the last two national team games against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland, seven are in today's starting eleven. For Bayern, that equates to Tah, Kimmich, and Pavlović (Goretzka is on the bench and Gnabry is out injured). For Dortmund, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Adeyemi, and Nmecha are represented, with Beier among the subs.

Kimmich milestone

Joshua Kimmich is all set to make his 302nd Bundesliga appearance. The Germany international will thus draw level with legend Lothar Matthäus on Bayern's all-time Bundesliga appearance list.

Hats off, Konrad

Konrad Laimer is making his 100th competitive appearance for Bayern today. The Austrian signed for FCB from RB Leipzig in summer 2023.

Groß opportunity

Pascal Groß is back in BVB's starting lineup for the first time since Matchday 3 (a 2-0 win at Heidenheim). In the last five competitive matches, the 34-year-old has come on as a substitute three times, playing a total of 23 minutes.

More on that Bayern team

Bayern are showing two changes to their starting line-up today. With Serge Gnabry forced to withdraw from this one with an adductor problem, Nicolas Jackson steps in from the get-go to make his third competitive start for the Bavarians. Elsewhere, Aleksandar Pavlović makes it in from the start, with Leon Goretzka benched.

More on that BVB team

Visiting coach Niko Kovač makes three changes to his starting XI today compared to the side that began the Matchday 6 draw against RB Leipzig. Ramy Bensebaini, Yan Couto, and Maxi Beier are on the bench, with Niklas Süle, Pascal Groß and Julian Ryerson all starting.

Vincent's victories

Bayern's tactician has amassed 100 points in his 40 Bundesliga games in charge at the record champions to date, with only Pep Guardiola managing to rack up that total in quicker fashion (39 games).

Dortmund's away days

Interestingly, today marks the first of six away trips for Dortmund in their next seven competitive matches until the international break in November. As well as Bayern shortly, the Black and Yellows face tricky fixtures at Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Cup and Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League, among other games.

Fearsome attack

Today's hosts are scoring goals for fun these days. Bayern's 25 in the first six Matchdays of this Bundesliga season is a record and what's more, the Bavarian giants have bagged three or more goals in each of their last nine games in all competitions. Astonishing.

Watch: Kovač's Klassiker press conference

Hear from Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovač ahead of the first Klassiker of 2025/26 away at Bayern Munich.

Kompany on Kane

"He's unlocked his next level by himself. He's always done that, even when I was playing against him and the years in between. That's the mentality that he's created every year. Maybe it helped that he didn't win a title for a long time, meaning he kept up that hunger. He's felt what his role in our team can be, also with his team-mates."

Vincent Kompany on facing Dortmund

“We've got the motivation for this Klassiker - first against second, and we are both unbeaten. We're excited about this game. They've shown a lot of stability and have players who can always score. With Serhou Guirassy they've got a player who doesn't need many chances.”

3:32

Kompany vs. Kovač

Two Bundesliga-winning coaches with Bayern, but who will prevail at the Allianz this weekend?

Kovač on star man Guirassy's return

“He was really annoyed that he took a knock to his thigh and couldn't help the lads as much as we're used to seeing him do. He came back early and has now been able to prepare really well for Saturday.”

Kovač on what Dortmund can expect

“Bayern won't underestimate us; they know how good we are. They often start like a house on fire at home, so we'll have to hold our own against them. Then anything is possible. Even in Munich, they know we can play football.”

Niko Kovač on Dortmund's game plan

“We've defended well recently, but we also need to go on the offensive in Munich. We picked up a point there recently in a great game. If we can repeat that performance, we'll come away with something again.”

Danger man Adeyemi

The 23-year-old has coupled consistent performances with three goals and three assists in eight competitive games so far this season. He's been transformed under Kovač, who has started him in all but one game in the early stages of 2025/26 - and that was the DFB Cup first-round fixture against Rot-Weiß Essen.

Friends to foes

Marcel Sabitzer and Niklas Süle are the two former Bayern men in the Dortmund camp, while Bayern have ex-BVB player Raphaël Guerreiro in their ranks. Karim Adeyemi also spent a year in Bayern's academy as a youngster.

Fixtures between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have produced some jaw-dropping goals over the years. We've rounded up the best of them...

Two elite strikers

Kane has the best minutes-per-goal ratio of players to have scored 25 Bundesliga goals or more, netting every 78 minutes on average. His opposite number, Serhou Guirassy, occupies spot number five on that list, netting every 115 minutes.

Harry Kane wins September's Player of the Month

Harry the history maker

Kane is the first Bundesliga player in history to score 11 goals in six games, bettering the previous record held by Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy.

Watch: Iconic Klassiker players

Check out some of the players who have helped shape Der Klassiker into a world-renowned fixture.

Kovač's unmatched start

Dortmund boss Niko Kovač has been a revelation since arriving at Signal Iduna Park, winning 65 percent of his Bundesliga games and averaging 2.1 points per game - the best record of any Dortmund manager in history.

The bigger picture

Bayern's current flaming-hot streak only offers a glimpse into how dominant they've been under Vincent Kompany since his arrival. Under the Belgian, they've lost just two of 40 Bundesliga games, averaging 2.5 points and just over three goals per game.

Racing out of the blocks

Bayern have set a new club record by winning their first 10 competitive fixtures of this season. Dortmund's record stands at 11 games, which they set at the beginning of the 2015/16 season under Thomas Tuchel.

2:03

Bayern 2-2 Dortmund - previous meeting

As it stands

Bayern have roared out of the traps in 2025/26, winning each of their first 10 games in all competitions. They go into their latest showdown with Dortmund four points clear of their closest pursuers, who boast the division's only other unbeaten record after six matches.

Bayern out to extend Klassiker run

Bayern have lost only one of their past 14 meetings with Dortmund in all competitions, but Die Schwarz-Gelben are the last team to pick up all three points in Der Klassiker after triumphing 2-0 at the Allianz Arena on Matchday 27 of the 2023/24 campaign. Both last season's Bundesliga meetings between the sides ended all square.
