Probably the biggest match of the year in the German league ended with a somewhat surprising victor.
Bayern Munich, the winner of 22 previous German league titles (which is more than four times those won by their closest follower), was not that victor!
After beating Bayern at the Allianz Arena, 1-0, in November 2011, Borussia repeated the feat in a much more critical match, in Dortmund, today.
Lewandowski's goal, coming in the 77th minute, was somewhat scrappy, but the remaining minutes were amazing!
Bayern got a penalty, justly awarded, but Robben failed to show his supposed finishing class (much like in the final of the 2010 World Cup).
Not only that, but he also sent over the top of the bar a huge chance that had "1-1" written all over it.
Borussia also missed an enormous opportunity of making it 2-0 very late. The upright saved Neuer, though.
Borussia Dortmund now sits six points ahead of Bayern, with just four matches to go.
But Dortmund needs to go to the stadium of their fiercest rivals in just three days' time. I'm talking, of course, about the upcoming Schalke 04 Gelsenkirchen - Borussia Dortmund match, on Saturday.

But Borussia Dortmund should win the title, this year too, unless they really mess it up now.
And maybe next year they'll finally show some good form in the Champions League!
