Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Bayern Munich: Kimmich’s Klassiker strike extends leaders’ advantage

Joshua Kimmich’s audacious first-half strike earned Bayern Munich a 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday’s Der Klassiker.

Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to seven points after a superb Joshua Kimmich chip gave them a 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.

The latest Der Klassiker match-up had been billed as a title decider, with only four points separating the two sides at the top of the table heading into the game, but it was Bayern who showed their league-winning pedigree to dispatch their closest rivals.

It was an energetic affair from the start, but a sensational floated chip from Kimmich in the 43rd minute – only the second goal Dortmund have conceded in seven games – decided the tie.

Bayern have now scored ten goals without reply in their last three league meetings with Dortmund and remain on course for their eighth successive Bundesliga trophy.
