From the source

Borussia Dortmund rescued a point in their Der Klassiker match against Bayern Munich on Saturday as the rivals played out a pulsating 2-2 draw in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac has often been chastized for playing an unappetizing brand of football but on Saturday, he pulled off a rabbit out of his hat as Dortmund shifted to a 4-4-1-1 structure off the ball which appeared to stifle the Bavarians in the first half while looking organized in defense.

The two banks of four narrowed the passing lanes between the lines, leaving Bayern's central players devoid of proper service as Harry Kane had a rather quite opening half.
