FT: Borussia Dortmund 1-3 FC Bayern 

90'   A comfortable win for Bayern. The Bavarian outfit superior over the 90' with just brief glimmers of class from BVB. Pulisic outstanding for the men in yellow.    

90'   3 minutes pf time to be added as BVB almost make it 2-3, Castro missing the ball by inches. 

Excellent perserverance from Pulisic to win the ball back, the American feeds the Spaniard who fires a delightful right footed curler into the corner. A fine consolation goal....

Gol. A beauty from Bartra. BVB 1-3 FCB 

87'   Bayern fans enjoying the 0-3 score line at Signal Iduna Park

85'   Into the final 5'.. Could all have been so different had Yarmolenko taken his first half chances.

48'   Where was the BVB defence? Lewandowski totally unmarked in the 6 yard area and heads straightat the BVB keeper...almost 0-3....

47'   Good play from BVB down the right flank as they earn a corner....Toljan fires the rebound high & wide

46' Second half about to start with the home side starting the action.... An early goal from BVB is ideally what the game needs ...

43'   Very poor evening from Aubameyang so far this evening...Pulisic and Kagawa looking like the danger men  for the yellow clad side. Yarmolenko free again and yet again fires his shot at the Bayern keeper....poor from the Ukraine international...

12'   The game yet to burst into life with all the action taking place around the center of the pitch.... 

10'   Very comfortable for the visitors now with slick and controlled passing play from the men in red. 

Here's the pic of the Yellow Wall again simply as it's so spectacular. Still on my bucket list of football weekend trips !   

5'   Bayern now establishing a degree of control on the game as whistles ring out from the home fans.

3'   Dortmund badly need the win with RB Leipzig winning earlier against Hannover 96, leapfrogging into second spot as the Bayern revival under Jupp Heynckes continues and the Bavarian outfit top the Bundesliga pile with 23 points.

2'   Bright and intense start here from the home side 

Off we go .... it's Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich ... the biggest domestic gamne in the Bundesliga ... 

Die Klassiker ... BVB in their traditional yellow and black...Bayern in all red.... as both sides take to the pitch .. a packed Yellow Wall awaits ...

Currently a cloudy evening in Dortmund with a 14% possibility of rain during the game... 

Can Dortmind's luck change this evening. The men in yellow and black managed 27 shots during Wednesday's Champions League tie against APOEL against the three of the visitors in a game which ended up 1-1.  

Heynckes' last Der Klassiker came in the 2013 Champions League final as Bayern won 2-1 with goals from Mandžukić and Robben. Gündoğan scored for Dortmund on that occasion. 

This evening's game will be the battle of the strikers, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski both sitting atop the Bundesliga top scorers chart with 10 goals apiece. Both came to the Bundesliga at the same time (2013) and since then they have scored a combined total of 202 goals (Lewandowski 107 and Aubameyang 95). The Dortmund striker will be keen to break his four-game scoring drought, while Bayern's Polish marksman will be chomping at the bit after being rested in mid-week.

Fret not! Here's how to catch this evening's game at Signal Iduna Park.

Hello and welcome to our Bundesliga belter as Borussia Dortmund host Bayern Munich. It's the current top two and the perennial big boys of recent years in German football.
