Fabio Silva scored in the 89th minute to earn Borussia Dortmund a 2‑2 draw with Bayern Munich in Saturday’s Bundesliga Klassiker on Oct. 31, 2026.

The game started with Bayern’s Michael Olise striking the post after ten minutes, but the German side’s early chances were halted as Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham had a shot denied by goalkeeper Jonas Urbig.

Later, Bellingham’s potential lead was ruled out for offside after a VAR check, and Bayern’s Konrad Laimer scored as he combined with Felix Nmecha and Olise to level the score early in the second half.

Bayern continued to press, with Kimmich delivering a pass to Kane, who missed a penalty on a handball call. Dortmund answered four minutes later when Nico Schlotterbeck intercepted Kane’s pass and ignited an attack that lifted Serhou Guirassy’s goal.

In the 66th minute, Kimmich’s precision assist found Upamecano, who finised sideways from close range to put Bayern ahead again; Kane struck the post on a follow‑up but Dortmund stayed within reach of an equaliser.

Silva finished the contest by powering home after Aleksandar Pavlovic lost possession, salvaging a point for Dortmund. Bayern’s substitute Lennart Karl hit the crossbar late in stoppage time.


We played a decent game. We were good in the first half, and in the second half we rewarded ourselves and pressed well. Bayern had chances with the penalty and hit the woodwork three times, but overall, it was a good performance from us,

Nico Schlotterbeck, Dortmund captain, said after the match.

Both clubs finish the game unbeaten on 18 points from eight matches, with Bayern topping the table on goal difference. Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Freiburg beat Augsburg 2‑1, Leipzig won 2‑0 at Schalke, Werder Bremen defeated Hoffenheim 2‑0, Stuttgart won 4‑2 at Leverkusen, and Borussia Münchengladbach drew 0‑0 with Paderborn.
