With six games left to play, Bundesliga’s leader, Bayern Munich took a big step to retaining their Bundesliga title by winning away from home at second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
The only goal of the game was scored from a Joshua Kimmich’s wonderful chip from 20 yards which gave Bayern the lead just before half-time after both sides had efforts cleared off the line.
Dortmund attempted to claw their way back into the game when they brought on England’s Jadon Sancho in the second half, but he could not inspire a fightback from his side.
The win puts Bayern seven points clear of Dortmund with six games left.
Robert Lewandowski nearly doubled Bayern’s advantage late on but his shot hit the post. Minutes later, he and the rest of the Bayern players were celebrating what could prove to be a big three points in the title race.
