Leverkusen actually had a decent performance in this match. Diaby and Kobel faced each other many times during the match. I can comfortably say that Kobel had a wonderful match. His saves were very impressive and crucial for the team to win this match. We all know the big weaknesses in Dortmund defense. This was another such match and they must be thankful for their goalkeeper. The second goal was a really unlucky one for Leverkusen as Tapsoba scored an own goal while trying to clear the ball.
There was a moment that Leverkusen were almost scoring their second own goal if it wasn't cleared right before the ball passed the goal line. At the end of the day it is a great work by Dortmund today of course. They beat a quite in-form team.

I had thought for a few weeks that Bayern Munich would simply increase their competitive advantage. But instead, the competition has only gotten closer. A disappointing result from Bayern Munich. Can't imagine they are underestimating other teams at the moment. Maybe they're just not as good as we think right now. Many players played in the German national team at the World Cup and there they were also eliminated in the group stage. I think Bayern will still be champions, but the question is how they will play in the coming weeks. They will have to distance themselves a bit more from the other teams.
I think the next game they will avoid a draw and go for a win instead. Luckily for Bayern Munich they are still leading in first position in the league this season but just a point difference from the second position team. Finally we are experiencing a competitive season in the Bundesliga this year, Bayern Munich will have to step up their game or lose out to either Union Berlin, Dortmund or RB Leipzig. 
So in the end the five consecutive wins that Leverkusen had won ended after losing by Dortmund, even though I expected Leverkusen would still get points even if it was only a draw with one point. But indeed, Dortmund is not a mediocre team so naturally Leverkusen lost points in this match, but at least Leverkusen's position is still safe in the top ten.
Looking at their last five match statistics prior to this last match, Dortmund won three of the five matches, while Leverkusen won two, demonstrating that both of them are very good teams, and looking at how Dortmund has improved its performance also demonstrates how serious they are, which encourages them to win.

Good game and massive three points for Dortmund today, it was a comfortable win and clean sheet for Dortmund today, they successfully secured forth place position for them in the league and about 5 points away from the league leaders Bayern Munich. Hopefully if they can maintain this form they will have a shot at the league title this season.
Leverkusen - Dortmund game has started and so far Leverkusen seemed a little better. They already have a few goal attempts while we are leaving 15 minutes behind. Leverkusen are even favoured by bookmakers for getting the win. There is a slight difference between their winning odds maybe but this still doesn't change the fact. Normally we would say that it is interesting because there is a seven-point difference between these teams. But there is another important fact at this point.
Leverkusen have improved their form significantly much thanks to Xabi Alonso's strategies. They can maintain their winning streak here and make it six games. Dortmund have really big vulnerabilities in their defense line.
I was a few minutes behind to watch this match, as soon as I saw Borussia Dortmud already 1-0 ahead of the hosts. I tried to look at the match statistics, it looks like the game has been a draw so far, apart from Borussia Dotmund's goal.Leverkusen have improved their form significantly much thanks to Xabi Alonso's strategies. They can maintain their winning streak here and make it six games. Dortmund have really big vulnerabilities in their defense line.
I applaud the struggle from Leverkusen to get them where they are in the table. They started the season badly and in fact they were in the relegation zone some time (if I'm not mistaken). But this time we see them pushing their way up the table with their winning streak. There is still plenty of time for Leverkusen to maintain their winning streak, although for a while they are 1 goal behind.
A good match between Leverkusen and Dortmund. Leverkusen has actually played well in this match. In certain aspects of the match, Leverkusen was actually better compared to Dortmund. It was just the goal from Dortmund and the mistake that Leverkusen did which turned into their own goal. Except for that, this was a very competitive and good match to see. Leverkusen was actually attacking a lot and attacking very well but in the end, they did not find any success.
So in the end the five consecutive wins that Leverkusen had won ended after losing by Dortmund, even though I expected Leverkusen would still get points even if it was only a draw with one point. But indeed, Dortmund is not a mediocre team so naturally Leverkusen lost points in this match, but at least Leverkusen's position is still safe in the top ten.
Apart from that match, I was quite surprised by Schalke because Schalke managed to get one point by holding FC Koln to a draw, because in my prediction Schalke also seems difficult to get points because the trend is still very bad. But yes, even though this one point still doesn't change Schalke's position, at least Schalke is still trying to play well and of course that is good morale.

Bayern Munich could have been better than this. They were really impressive in the first half and the result of it was really positive. However they had bigger problems in the second half. Frankfurt started to find more goal opportunities in this half and finally benefited from it by scoring the equalizer. This resulted in another point loss for Bayern Munich.
The title race is more alive than ever now. Union Berlin, Leipzig and Freiburg are right behind them in the standings. I would love to see this scenario until the end of the season. The Bundesliga can be more attracting in this way.

Union Berlin is a team that has been there at all times, I remember that recently they were in first place, I cannot speak badly of Leipzig and Frankfurt, they are taking advantage of the good moment, but of course we cannot forget that Bayern is one of the valuarte teams of Germany, in addition to Bayern's commitments are very big, not only here in the Bundesliga but also in the UCL, this is something that can happen at any time and that is why I think that a very big change can develop in With this team, we cannot forget that Bayern always grows in the big tournaments, so things can go in that direction and I hope it is like that to have many better emotions.

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn would rather the team struggle now than later in the campaign
Quote
Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has been around the game for his entire life.
Der Titan knows that there will be ups and downs over the course of a season — even for a club as high and mighty as Bayern Munich. The team’s recent string of draws does not have the boss deterred, but watching it play out is still rough, even for the CEO.
“I’d rather we go through a difficult phase now than at the end of the season. But, of course, there’s already a lot at stake. We really have to step up against Mainz,” Kahn told kicker journalist Georg Holzner.

Dortmund team managed to score in the first half and they are now leading 2 0 after an hour, it will be an important win if they manage it since it will close the gap to three points between them and bayern plus it was against a tough team in an away game i expected them to have difficulties and maybe even lose but a well played game they had.
dortmund has been getting better since the world cup break and it looks like until this season ends, they will manage to finish in the top 5. if you look at the standings table, the competition in the top 5 is very tight especially since dortmund only has a 3 point difference from Bayern, I myself did not expect Bayern to be held to a draw in their last 3 matches.

1-1 results with three times in a row Bayern Munich apparently still cannot gets the winning results on 2023 and this result also makes Bayern only have 1 difference points above Union Berlin and i think admitted or not Bayern in the crisis condition now
In the last 3 matches Bayern Munich was very aggressive that they have over than 60% average for ball possessions but i don't know why seems their players has lost creativity and Bayern players looks wasted plenty of chances to scoring goals
On the other hand Union Berlin was successfully beat Hertha Berlin with scores 2-0 although Union Berlin didn't dominate the match but they were playing very effective and surprising result also happened on the other match that Bremen has beat Wolfsburg and before this match begin i thought Wolfsburg can win easily but apparently, Bremen can performing well and earn 3 points from them
Some days are like that, but I am not surprised. Moreover, one will not expect the same degree of excellency from them after their no 1 best keeper and their current best winger left as a result of injury. Mano is known for game-changing and playmaking motivation. Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman are two different exceptional players, but their impact on the pitch can't be compared to that of the African star who is currently injured. They only have to do their best until Sadio mane returns.In the last 3 matches Bayern Munich was very aggressive that they have over than 60% average for ball possessions but i don't know why seems their players has lost creativity and Bayern players looks wasted plenty of chances to scoring goals

Like for example if they got Haaland instead of Lewandowski, they could have been even better and that is quite amazing. But, they have no striker that is like that at all, they just have great wingers. They need to look for a striker and they need to get one right away, they have to.

Bayern Munich's attack line is now more problematic than the back line that is left by Manuel Neuer. We know that Bayern Munich's goal productivity was good before, even if they still lost 1 or 2 goals, at the end of the game the victory still belongs to them because they were able to score a lot of goals. But now things are changing, if they concede a goal then they will get a draw like in the 3 matches they have played. The Champions League is coming soon, so they have to get their squad straight.
In football there will always come a time when things seem to fall apart, that is why every good club easily bounces back because they made good preparation on how to return to good form whenever this tumultuous time comes, and this can be done by building a good academy team. now in the whole of Europe, very few top clubs can possess their winning status from the beginning of the season till today. Bayern Munich isn't an exemption. It's normal, and I believe Greener days shall come again.
When it comes to the league Bayern are not in great form since the restart of the league this year Bayern have drawn all three games taking 3 points from a possible 9points which is not good , behind is union Berlin who have closed the gap to just a point and leizig is third with a further one point, if Bayern wants to retain the title they won last year they need to put things in order and start winning games because anymore slip and union Berlin wins their next match then union Berlin will too them and I don't see this Union Berlin team loosing points unnecessarily,

Currently, Bayern Munich must work harder if they still want to sit at the top of the Bundesliga standings and still want to compete in the Champions League this season. Because Bayern Munich must realize that their performance at the moment is not the best, so Bayern Munich really needs valid improvements so that they can continue to compete with the big teams in the Champions League and Bundesliga until the end of the season.Previously I hoped that Eintracht Frankfurt could make a surprise by beating Bayern Munich, because I think the trend they have at the moment can get that result. But yes, the final result of this match has been obtained and Eintracht Frankfurt can only end the match with a final score of 1-1, and of course they split the points with that result.
But in reality, Bayern Munich really dominated the game and should have won three points. But unfortunately, Eintracht Frankfurt was still able to score an equalizer until in the end they couldn't score another goal until the match ended.
Even though it wasn't a loss for Bayern Munich, it's still a bad result for Bayern Munich because they got a draw in their first 3 matches after this break. I don't know what they faced during the break so they came back with unsatisfactory performance and results. 3 draws in 3 matches is not a good result for Bayern Munich, it is a drop that also gives other teams the opportunity to be closer to them in the Bundesliga standings.But in reality, Bayern Munich really dominated the game and should have won three points.

It seems that it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich in the Champions League this season if Bayern Munich still draws like in their last three matches after the break. The Bayern Munich team really needs a lot of big improvements because they seem to have lost strength in the last three matches so that the point difference in the Bundesliga standings at this point looks competitive from first to fourth place.

People say Bayern will win this year's Champions League; however, looking at the result and the way they play, I don't think they are going to win it. A lot has changed. They can't be drawing many matches. Now, they score once in every single match. What I know is that we are already in for an exciting year with Union Berlin, Leipzig, Freiburg, Frankfurt, and Dortmund breathing down their necks.
I believe that at first Bayern remained a great team even without Lewandowski, they won game after game with impressive results even though at first they experienced a decline. but after the post-world cup Qatar, Bayern started the second half of the season with unsatisfactory results. they don't lose, it's just that there are differences in what they show. in particular, having lost two pillars of their defensive line through injury. plus, Sadio Mane, Neuer and also the lack of a series of friendly matches they did before the second half of the Bundesliga restarted. I think there were a series of problems with the Bavarian team.
But on the other hand, the Bundesliga presents a more interesting title race. because the teams below Bayern, only a thin point difference to shift the top of the Bundesliga standings. well, isn't this what we've been waiting for the Bundesliga to be very competitive.
Bayern Munich could have been better than this. They were really impressive in the first half and the result of it was really positive. However they had bigger problems in the second half. Frankfurt started to find more goal opportunities in this half and finally benefited from it by scoring the equalizer. This resulted in another point loss for Bayern Munich.
The title race is more alive than ever now. Union Berlin, Leipzig and Freiburg are right behind them in the standings. I would love to see this scenario until the end of the season. The Bundesliga can be more attracting in this way.
Bayern Munich did not lose, but the draw against Frankfurt could look bad. Because, this is the third straight draw that Joshua Kimmich and colleagues got after the 2022 World Cup break. In the middle of last week, Bayern drew against FC Koln. In that duel at the Allianz Arena, Bayern almost suffered defeat. However, Joshua Kimmich's hard kick in the final minutes of the match made the score equal 1-1.The title race is more alive than ever now. Union Berlin, Leipzig and Freiburg are right behind them in the standings. I would love to see this scenario until the end of the season. The Bundesliga can be more attracting in this way.
Previously, again with a score of 1-1, Bayern also drew against RB Leipzig. The result of drawing three consecutive games with an identical score of 1-1 is not an ordinary condition faced by Bayern, which is very dominant in the Bundesliga. but even so they are still at the top of the Bundesliga table, I think they have to learn a lesson to be better in the next game
