After the match restarted, Borussia Dortmund continued to dominate with their momentum from taking the lead, while Bayern Munich could only temporarily tighten their defense.

However, Borussia Dortmund did not score another goal in a short period of time.

Bayern Munich's defense was very well organized during this time, and Neuer's brave saves also repeatedly foiled Borussia Dortmund's attacks.

After Borussia Dortmund's repeated attacks on Bayern Munich's goal proved fruitless, Bayern Munich seized the opportunity to counter-attack when Borussia Dortmund pressed forward.

In the twenty-third minute, Bayern Munich launched an attack. Lahm moved forward along the wing and crossed the ball after receiving it on the right side of the penalty area.

Subotić and Gündoğan didn't even jump, and watched the ball fly to the front of the six-yard box, where Mario Gómez jumped high and headed for the goal!

"Gómez header—!"

Amidst Marcel Reif's shouts, the ball brushed the right goalpost and flew into the net!

"Ah—Bayern Munich has equalized!"

The Westfalenstadion fell into a very brief silence the moment the ball flew into the goal, followed by an eruption of cheers from Bayern Munich fans and boos from Borussia Dortmund fans.

"After trailing for twelve minutes, Bayern Munich equalized! This is the high-level contest we wanted to see!" Marcel Reif said excitedly.

The match had only started for twenty-three minutes, and there were already two goals, one for each side. This kind of contest certainly deserved the title of Germany's highest-level duel.

"Gómez! Gómez! Gómez!!" The Munich radio commentator shouted excitedly. "He equalized for Bayern Munich! Now the two sides are back on the same starting line! This goal is very crucial. When Borussia Dortmund was besieging Bayern Munich, it gave Borussia Dortmund a blow! The suspense of the match has been restored!"

Bayern Munich fans in front of the TV jumped up and cheered.

Although the match had only been going on for twenty-three minutes, the tense atmosphere of the final moments had already spread.

"Bayern Munich has performed very tenaciously, and they quickly equalized the score. This is not good news for Borussia Dortmund. After Götze was injured and left the field, although they took the lead, they have now been equalized. I wonder if the impact of Götze's injury will gradually become apparent..." Duan Xin said.

His words made many Chinese Borussia Dortmund fans and Zhou Yi fans in front of the TV very unhappy—bad luck!

Fortunately, judging from the close-up shots given by the TV broadcast, Borussia Dortmund's players did not seem to have suffered too much of a blow.

At least the Borussia Dortmund players appearing in the camera did not show any signs of frustration.

This was normal. Just like Bayern Munich did not give up after falling behind, how could Borussia Dortmund give up just because their opponents equalized the score at their home stadium?

※※※

After the match restarted, both sides exchanged attacks, the scene was relatively balanced, and both sides had chances. It was difficult to say who was overwhelming whom.

In the twenty-eighth minute, Schweinsteiger sent a through ball to the right. Lahm crossed from the right, but this time it was not a high ball to the front of the goal, but a low cross to the near post. Gómez responded with a shot at the near post!

Hummels came up to interfere with him, causing his shot to go wide.

"That was close!"

Then Borussia Dortmund launched an attack. In the thirty-first minute, Zhou Yi sent a through ball from the left side of the frontcourt to the left wing. After Lewandowski pulled to the wing to receive the ball, he first used a feint to get past Van Buyten. Facing Boateng, who came to cover, he swung his foot as if to shoot, tricking Boateng into a sliding tackle, but Lewandowski simply pulled the ball back with his toe, thus shaking off another defender!

"Beating two players in a row! Beautiful! Lewandowski!!"

Lewandowski, who had shaken off Van Buyten and Boateng, dribbled into the penalty area. Although the angle was not great, he still chose to shoot!

Neuer was prepared for this and had already sealed off the angle in advance. He fell to the ground and blocked Lewandowski's shot.

This attack also caused the Borussia Dortmund fans in the stands to exclaim repeatedly, cheers rising and falling, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh.

"Oh! Lewandowski! He missed a great opportunity! Before the shot, all his performances were perfect, but the angle of the final shot was too small... Neuer blocked it."

In the fortieth minute, Borussia Dortmund organized another attack. Zhou Yi pulled to the left wing to ask for the ball.

But as soon as he got the ball, he was kicked from behind by Gustavo.

A piercing boo rang out in the Westfalenstadion, and the referee's whistle sounded accordingly, ruling Gustavo's foul and giving Borussia Dortmund a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Reus took the free kick and shot directly, but the ball went over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Robben dribbled the ball along the wing, and he was unstoppable. First, he used a change of pace to shake off Kuba, and then, facing Zhou Yi who came up to cover, he didn't even lift his head, and directly accelerated and dribbled past Zhou Yi, leaving only Zhou Yi's slightly messy figure...

"Damn, bullying!" Zhou Yi muttered, looking back at Robben's departing figure.

The Westfalenstadion saw Robben pass two Borussia Dortmund players in a row, and boos immediately rang out.

Amid the boos, Robben encountered Sven Bender, who came up to block him. Facing this defensive midfielder, Robben did not dare to use the same method he used to deal with Zhou Yi. He slowed down, and then cut inside after a feint!

Sven Bender rushed up, a little too slow, and did not poke the ball away from Robben's feet, but knocked Robben to the ground.

Referee Gagelmann's whistle sounded, and Robben also earned Bayern Munich a free kick, and the position of this free kick was even better than Reus's previous one.

This was in the center, thirty meters from the goal.

"Robben's speed is too fast, Sven Bender can only foul helplessly..."

Bayern Munich's free kick was taken by Austrian full-back Alaba, but the free kick he kicked out was the same as Reus's previous kick, also going over the crossbar.

However, Bayern Munich's offensive did not weaken because of this, and they came back in a minute.

Alaba passed diagonally from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball was passed to the right side of the arc of the penalty area. Mario Gómez received the ball here, shook off the angle, and shot!

"Gómez! Beautiful—"

The ball flew towards Borussia Dortmund's goal along the grass!

Weidenfeller had already lost some of his balance when Gómez feinted earlier. Now, facing Gómez's shot, it was difficult for him to make any standard save. When he fell to the ground, he could only try to swing his leg out, hoping to hit the ball.

This conditioned reflex action ultimately saved Borussia Dortmund's goal.

The ball kicked out by Gómez hit Weidenfeller's calf, and then bounced high, over the crossbar...

"Oh—! Gómez missed a great opportunity! Weidenfeller made a wonderful save!"

Seeing that his shot was blocked out of the crossbar by Weidenfeller's leg, Gómez held his head in his hands, with an unbelievable expression on his face—his previous feint was very beautiful and successful. Not only did he shake off Subotić in front of him, but he also shook Weidenfeller off balance. He originally thought this goal was a sure thing.

Who would have thought that the ball would miraculously be blocked by Weidenfeller's leg...

This luck was really too bad!

"This may be Bayern Munich's best scoring chance after equalizing the score! Bayern Munich's two wings have been on fire during this time, and Borussia Dortmund is struggling to cope, with frequent dangers on the defense line... Fortunately, the first half is about to end, and Klopp still has time to make adjustments during the half-time break... He must make adjustments, otherwise, if Bayern Munich continues to play like this, I'm afraid they will completely take the initiative in the second half..."

※※※

In the end, no one was able to break the deadlock in the first half, and when Gagelmann blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was still 1:1.

This result is actually acceptable for Bayern Munich, because as long as they can force a draw with Borussia Dortmund away from home, they will continue to maintain a two-point lead. In the next two rounds of the league, even if they win one and draw one, while Borussia Dortmund wins both matches, they will rely on their huge goal difference to overwhelm Borussia Dortmund with the same points—by the end of the previous round of the league, Bayern Munich had scored ninety goals and conceded only fourteen in thirty-one league matches, with a staggering goal difference of... seventy-six!

From this statistic alone, you can see how terrifying Bayern Munich has been this season.

Of course, it also shows that Borussia Dortmund, which has only been two points behind, has also performed very well.

Because Bayern Munich's results, if placed in any league, would be a runaway leader and win the championship in advance.

Barcelona has played two more league matches than Bayern Munich in La Liga, and their points are only one point more than Bayern Munich, and their goal difference is ten less. Not to mention Real Madrid, the second-placed team in the league, with 74 points, they are eleven points behind Barcelona and have no power to catch up with Barcelona. If Bayern Munich's results were placed in La Liga, Real Madrid would not be able to threaten them at all.

The situation in the Premier League is exactly the same as in La Liga. Manchester United, the first in the league with eighty-five points, leads second-placed Manchester City by as many as eleven points, and has already won the championship in advance. But now the Premier League has been played for thirty-five rounds, while Bayern Munich has only played thirty-one league matches and has almost the same points as Manchester United, so if they went to the Premier League, these results could also win the championship in advance.

Only in the Bundesliga can Bayern Munich's outstanding performance this season still leave the league championship in suspense.

After drawing with Bayern Munich away from home, Borussia Dortmund has been on a winning streak, forcing Bayern Munich not to dare to relax in the slightest. In this marathon to this day, the first place still has to sprint with all their strength and dare not slack off in the slightest, just for fear of being pulled down by Borussia Dortmund.

With Borussia Dortmund's results, if they were not in the Bundesliga, but in other leagues, I am afraid the league championship would also be a certainty.

The outstanding performances of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund this season have also attracted a lot of attention to the Bundesliga.
