Bayern Munich 0-2 Borussia Dortmund: Player ratings as BVB crush Bayern's title hopes

Borussia Dortmund secured their first win at the Allianz Arena in almost a decade on Saturday night as they further dented Bayern Munich's hopes of catching Bayer Leverkusen at the Bundesliga's summit.

Bayern were playing catch up from the outset after Karim Adeyemi handed Dortmund an early lead in Der Klassiker. The hosts missed several chances in the opening period, but their second-half performance was bereft of attacking cohesion and Dortmund always looked more likely to score the second.

Julian Ryerson's pinpoint effort doubled BVB's lead and sealed a memorable triumph. The result crushed Bayern's already fading title hopes and emboldened Dortmund's cause for a top-four finish.

Dortmund entered the arena which has been their perpetual burial ground for the past decade knowing they were facing an uncharacteristically vulnerable Bayern side.

Yet another Bayer Leverkusen late show meant Bayern's deficit to the league leaders extended to 13 points before kick-off and their attempt to close the deficit got off to the worst possible start.

A swift Dortmund transition was rounded off by the speedy Adeyemi, who was always going to beat Matthijs de Ligt in a running race. The hosts have often had to fight from behind this term and should have restored parity on several occasions before the break.

Harry Kane missed a gilt-edge chance midway through the first half, while Mats Hummels somehow denied Eric Dier on the line.

It was a chess match of a contest with both teams aiming to access their playmakers in the half-spaces as much as possible. Bayern sought to change tempo in possession to overwhelm the visitors, while Dortmund focused on hurting the hosts on the counter. Both had success, but Die Roten failed to restore parity
