Fábio Silva

A game full of intrigue, and as you said at the top, I think, or maybe before we started recording this, It's nice to have a classica that has not decided the league early in the year.

And I thought Borussia Dortmund's performance in this game was summed up by maybe the most Fabio Silva goal you will ever see, which is the triumph of persistence and then technique.

And it was funny because Fabio Silva, the late equaliser to make it to all, And he'd like, you saw, it was almost like watching someone drafting, you know, those, those novelists where not every novelist is like this, where each draft gets closer and closer.

So the first one is kind of like just an impression and like a sketch.

And then you see him like tidying up his finishing.

But if you're Dortmund, you're like, come on, we've got to defend better than that, really, in this kind of game.

Then chances kind of faded to both sides before Super Sub and Dortmund cult hero Fabio Silva with a fantastic finish right at the end gave them what was a deserved point in many ways.

Although those who are fans of XG, I mean, I'm not quite sure how they work out such a heavy XG here for Bayern, but it was actually an incredible 4.77 for Bayern and only 0.7 for Dortmund.

I mean, watching that game i didn't feel so it was that one-sided but i guess that's how xg is sometimes which is why some people doubt it a little bit as a stat but yeah for me this is a it's a feather in mr kovacs's cat there's no doubt about that he managed to come good in this one i think he stuck well with buying through periods of adversity in the game and i think they were deserving at the point in the end i think it was a good dormant performance mostly disciplined defensively.

Definitely.

Yeah, and a big moment for Fabio Silva at the end as well.

Yeah, it was.

A great equaliser for him.

Bayern Munich led twice, struck the wordwork repeatedly, and created enough opportunities to win comfortably.

But Fabio Silva's 89th-minute equalizer rescued a dramatic 2-2 draw and kept the Bundesliga's leading teams level on points.

This was frantic, imperfect, and enormously entertaining.

This was Der Klassiker.

Harry Kane missed narrowly, other promising attacks broke down, and Cobell continued to protect Borussia Dortmund.

Every wasted opportunity kept the visitors alive.

Kovac introduced Konstantinos Krestas, Fabio Silva, adding freshness and attacking ambition rather than accepting defeat.

The decision transformed the closing stages of the game.

Of course, we all kind of assume Bayern will end up winning this league in a runaway, but it's nice that we get to believe for a little bit longer that Dortmund have a chance.

It ends in a 2-2 draw because of a late Fabio Silva equalizer to steal a point for Dortmund, and I really do mean steal a point.

They did not deserve anything from this match.

They were pretty bad.

Then six minutes later, Dayo Upamecano restored buoyantly.

So quite a dramatic game it was, but There will be more drama because Fabio Silva, on the cusp of full-time, scored to give Borussia Dortmund the leveler.

And that's how the game finished in Germany.

So what do these results mean for the Bundesliga table? Yeah, Bundesliga table.
