Dramatic Finish in Leipzig as Last-Minute Goal Denies Bayern Munich Early Celebration

In a thrilling Bundesliga showdown, Yussuf Poulsen’s last-gasp goal led to a dramatic 3-3 draw for RB Leipzig against the league-toppers, Bayern Munich, on Saturday. This late equalizer deferred Harry Kane’s chance at securing his first career trophy. As the clock ticked into stoppage time, Poulsen found the net to keep Bayern at 76 points, maintaining their nine-point advantage over reigning champions Leverkusen, who are set to face Freiburg on Sunday. With two matches remaining, Bayern can claim their 34th league title if Leverkusen falters.

The match, expected to be a celebratory outing for Bayern, quickly took a different turn, with Leipzig pressing hard from the outset. The hosts nearly scored twice before Benjamin Sesko capitalized on a rapid one-pass break from Xavi Simons, curling a stunning shot past Bayern’s goalkeeper Jonas Urbig just 11 minutes in. Harry Kane, the Bundesliga’s top scorer suspended for the match, watched from the stands as his team struggled offensively.

The situation worsened for Bayern shortly before halftime as Lukas Klostermann outmaneuvered his defender to nod in a David Raum free-kick, expanding Leipzig’s lead. Nevertheless, Bayern regrouped after the interval. Eric Dier narrowed the gap by heading in Michael Olise’s corner, and Olise himself leveled the score a minute later with a powerful strike. Leroy Sane seemed to have secured the win for Bayern with a goal seven minutes from the end, only for Poulsen to dash their hopes with his late heroics.
