BERLIN, Oct 9: Borussia Dortmund substitute Anthony Modeste scored in the last minute of injury time against Bayern Munich to salvage a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Bundesliga’s Klassiker’.
The French forward set up Youssoufa Moukoko for the equalizer in the 74th then clinched what felt like a winning goal in the 95th when he headed in Nico Schlotterbeck’s cross from close range. There was only supposed to be four minutes of additional time.
Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sané scored with the visitors’ first two shots on target to put Bayern on track for its eighth consecutive league win over its main rival. Jamal Musiala set up both goals.
But Modeste’s equaliser denied Bayern top spot, and kept Dortmund level on points with the Bavarian powerhouse.
Dortmund’s fortunes changed in a hard-fought game when coach Edin Terzic sent on Modeste with 20 minutes remaining. At that stage the team was headed for its fourth defeat from nine games. Modeste set up the 17-year-old Moukoko’s third goal of the season and went on to be swarmed by teammates when he scored the late equaliser.
Bayern’s Kingsley Coman was sent off in the 90th minute with his second yellow card, but the visitors complained that Jude Bellingham should have been sent off at the end of the first half when he caught Alphonso Davies in the face with his foot.
Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso steered Bayer Leverkusen to 4-0 over Schalke in his top-level coaching debut, the team earning just its second league win.
Moussa Diaby scored one goal and set up two more for Leverkusen to move out of the relegation zone with its first league victory since the end of August.
Bochum won its first game of the season by 3-0 at home over Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz held Leipzig to 1-1 and Wolfsburg drew at Augsburg 1-1. (AP)
