Harry Kane scored in stoppage time to give Bayern Munich a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin on Saturday and save the Bundesliga leaders from suffering their first defeat this season.

But the Bavarians couldn’t extend their run of straight victories after they had won all of their first 16 games this season across all competitions, a record in the top five European leagues.

Borussia Dortmund were also the victims of a late goal and missed the chance of moving up to second place in a 1-1 draw at Hamburg.

RB Leipzig, meanwhile, had their run of eight unbeaten Bundesliga matches ended in a 3-1 defeat to Hoffenheim, despite initially taking a 1-0 lead. Leipzig sit second, six points behind Bayern.

Elsewhere, Patrik Schick and Ibrahim Maza scored a brace each as Bayer Leverkusen thrashed bottom side Heidenheim 6-0.

Later on Saturday, Borussia Mönchengladbach host Cologne. Werder Bremen defeated VfL Wolfsburg 2-1 in Friday’s game.

Bayern at least remain unbeaten

Bayern’s winning series is over, but Kane at least secured that they remain unbeaten this season.

“We knew what type of game it would be, it would be a battle. We had to stay calm, stay focused. It wasn’t our best 30 minutes, but we grew into the game. Now we take the point and move on,” Kane told Sky TV.

Union had Ilyas Ansah’s early effort ruled out for offside, but Danilho Doekhi’s effort in the 27th stood and thanks to a rare mistake from goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who let low shot slip through his hands.

Doekhi’s goal meant that Bayern went behind in the Bundesliga for the first time this season, but the league leaders changed that in the 38th as Luis Diaz hammered a stunner past goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow.

Kane thought he had given Bayern the lead shortly before the break, but he was offside and the goal was ruled out.

The 1-1 score persisted for most of the second half, until Doekhi scored again, volleying a corner into the net, and Union thought they would claim their first-ever win against Bayern.

But that didn’t last long, as Kane levelled for Bayern once more in stoppage time.

“The belief was always there, that we could make it,” Neuer said.

The keeper also recognized that he played his part in Union’s first goal.

“The view was not perfect, the distance was not perfect, but I’ve made the wrong decision,” he said.

Dortmund drop precious points

Dortmund sit seven points behind Bayern after they couldn’t avoid a late setback at promoted Hamburg.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 64th when Nico Schlotterbeck flicked a ball back into the area, where it was volleyed home by Carney Chukwuemeka Chukwuemeka.

But Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer rose up highest to head home from Muheim’s cross to force Dortmund to share the points.

Goal festival in Keverkusen

Barely a minute had gone and Leverkusen had already taken the lead through Schick and the hosts doubled it in the 16th as Hofmann’s completed Tapsoba’s laser-accurate cross.

In the 22nd, Hofmann flew a cross into the box and Heidenehim keeper Diant Ramaj came off the goal to beat it away. But he accidentally parried into Patrick Mainka, with the ball going goalwards for what would have been an own goal had Schick not managed to poke it over the line for his brace.

Before the break, Ernest Poku added a fourth and Ibrahim Maza scored his first Bundesliga goal for Leverkusen before also completing a brace in the 53rd.

Leverkusen are fourth, eight points from the top, while Heidenheim are last in the standings after their largest defeat in the Bundesliga.
