Penalty Helps Bayern Munich Snatch Draw At Leipzig"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/author\/agencyreport\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Agency Report <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bayern Munich came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at RB Leipzig on Saturday, Harry Kane kick-starting a second-half revival to prevent a first league loss of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Leipzig were 2-0 up and cruising at half-time thanks to goals from Lois Openda and Castello Lukeba, but Kane converted a penalty early in the second half to give his side hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The goal, Kane\u2019s eighth in six league appearances since moving from Tottenham, had the desired effect, spurring Bayern on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The visitors\u2019 Leroy Sane scored shortly after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Just a day before the match, Leipzig fired sporting director Max Eberl, who had been heavily linked to a move to Munich, saying the former Bayern defender had shown a \u201clack of commitment\u201d to the Saxony club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bayern invited the hosts into the game early, goalkeeper Sven Ulreich roaming well out of his box and scuffing a pass to Emil Forsberg, but the Sweden international\u2019s long-range shot drifted just wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The home side did not have to wait long however, Openda latching onto a superb long pass from Xaver Schlager to score his fourth league goal of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Leipzig extended their lead shortly after through Lukeba, who slammed in a rebound from a corner, his first goal since moving from Ligue 1 in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel made two changes at half-time to ignite his lethargic squad, who pulled one back from the penalty spot through Kane after VAR detected a Leipzig handball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bayern drew level shortly after, Musiala carrying the ball up the middle of the park and laying off to Sane, who stroked the ball into the bottom corner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bayern\u2019s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting had a chance deep into injury time but headed directly at the goalkeeper, meaning the sides split the points for the second time in a row in\u00a0Leipzig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">AFP<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayern Munich came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at
