RB Leipzig 3-3 Bayern (May 3, 2025) Game Analysis


RB Leipzig’s Yussuf Poulsen scored a stoppage-time goal to snatch a 3-3 draw against Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday and delay Harry Kane’s capture of a first career trophy.

In a rollercoaster game, Bayern found themselves 2-0 down at halftime before scoring two goals in two minutes to level and taking an 83rd-minute lead.

Poulsen, however, struck seconds before the end to leave Bayern on 76 points, nine ahead of champions Leverkusen, who travel to Freiburg on Sunday.

Bayern, with two games left to play and a much better goal difference than Leverkusen, will secure their 34th league crown should Leverkusen fail to win.

Harry Kane’s wait for the first major trophy of his career will go on until at least Sunday.

The draw also kept Leipzig, fifth on 50 points, in the running for a top-four finish and a spot in next season’s Champions League.

It was supposed to be triumphant afternoon for Bayern but they found themselves on the back foot from the start with the hosts piling on early pressure.

Leipzig had two big chances before Benjamin Sesko completed a one-pass quick break from Xavi Simons with a superbly curled shot past keeper Jonas Urbig in the 11th minute.

With the Bundesliga’s leading scorer Kane, desperate to clinch the first major title of his career, suspended and watching from the stands, the visitors were toothless in attack.

It got even worse for them six minute before the break when Lukas Klostermann easily beat his marker to head in a David Raum free kick and double Leipzig’s lead.

Bayern turned things around after the break, however, with Eric Dier heading in Michael Olise’s corner at the near post and Olise rifling in the equaliser a minute later.

They thought they had done enough to secure the title when Leroy Sané struck seven minutes from time and Kane moved down from the stands to watch the final minutes from the sideline, ready to celebrate with his teammates.

But Poulsen spoiled the party, chipping the ball over Urbig for the equaliser. Bayern can win the title in front of a home crowd next week when they host Borussia Moenchengladbach.
