May 27, (THEWILL) – Jamal Musiala’s 89th-minute strike orchestrated a momentous victory for Bayern Munich as they clinched the Bundesliga title from Borussia Dortmund in a stunning fashion, winning 2-1 against Koln on Saturday.
After suffering a surprising 3-1 defeat at home to RB Leipzig last weekend, Bayern needed a win over Koln, coupled with Dortmund failing to triumph against mid-table Mainz, in order to retain the coveted trophy.
BVB managed a 2-2 draw with Mainz, giving the impression that the title might be on its way to Dortmund after Dejan Ljubicic’s 81st-minute penalty cancelled out Kingsley Coman’s spectacular opening goal for Bayern.
However, in the nick of time, Musiala unleashed an exceptional effort that found the bottom corner, securing Bayern’s 11th consecutive Bundesliga crown and concluding a captivating title race in a dramatic manner.
