Borussia Dortmund found themselves a goal down on two occasions at the Allianz Arena on Saturday night, but came back both times to ultimately earn a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac praised his team, arguing they deserved the point despite being clearly second-best in terms of shots and chances created.
“If you have 50 percent possession here in Munich against Bayern, then you've done a lot of things right. We didn't allow them very much," Kovac said.
"Naturally, we came under a little more pressure in the second half, but the team continued to believe in themselves even after falling behind. We played with a back four, tried to press higher up the pitch and match Bayern's runs, particularly those of their full-backs, who repeatedly move inside. The lads did that brilliantly.
"Coming back from behind twice here in Munich is no easy task. That's why I'm convinced we earned a deserved point today.”
