Bayern's Bundesliga Title on Hold: Leipzig's Last-Gasp Goal

Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title celebrations delayed after Leipzig scores a last-second equalizer in a thrilling 3-3 draw.

In a dramatic Bundesliga showdown, Bayern Munich's title celebrations were delayed when RB Leipzig scored a last-gasp equalizer, resulting in a 3-3 draw. Despite the draw, Bayern's lead over Bayer Leverkusen remains significant, with a nine-point advantage and a +30 goal difference superiority, leaving them poised to claim the title.

The match was an intense, six-goal epic that saw both teams create numerous chances. Even without star striker Harry Kane, Bayern's quality and depth were evident, but Leipzig pushed them hard throughout the game. The hosts controlled much of the early play, creating several promising opportunities before Bayern eventually took the lead. Leipzig's determination paid off as they fought back to level the score in the final seconds.

RB Leipzig had early chances, with Jonas Urbig making a brilliant reflex save to deny Amadou Haidara from close range. Benjamin Sesko then had a chance but scooped his shot over the bar after being played through by Xavi Simons' clever pass.

However, Leipzig quickly took the lead inside 11 minutes with a devastating counter-attack. Xavi Simons dispossessed Michael Olise and cleverly played a through ball to Benjamin Sesko, who scored with a stunning trivela shot from distance, catching Urbig off his line.

The first half continued with Bayern dominating possession but struggling to create clear chances. Meanwhile, Leipzig capitalized on their counter-attacking opportunities, doubling their lead when David Raum delivered a deep free-kick that Lukas Klostermann headed into the corner, utilizing his ear to nod the ball home.

In the second half, Bayern finally found their rhythm around the hour mark, pulling level with two quick goals. Eric Dier headed home from a corner, and just 46 seconds later, Serge Gnabry scored after Olise's defensive error allowed him to slot the ball home from a volley.

With the score level, both teams created opportunities, but Bayern looked poised to secure the win when Joshua Kimmich set up Leroy Sane, who curled a beautiful shot into the far corner. However, in a dramatic finale, Leipzig scored a last-second equalizer when Xavi played a through ball to Yussuf Poulsen, who chipped the ball over Urbig to deny Bayern the title.

Harry Kane's wait for his first major career trophy may be extended slightly longer, but Bayern Munich's significant lead means they are on the brink of securing their 12th title in the last 13 seasons. With their substantial advantage, any further points will likely confirm their championship. Leverkusen's result on Sunday will also be crucial, as a failure to win would seal the title for Bayern. Meanwhile, Leverkusen will be closely watching their own match against Freiburg, a key rival in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification.
