Bayern dominated the major part of the first-half.
But Reus opened the scoring for Dortmund in the 45th minute to prove that his team came prepared.
Alaba, the Bayern defender equalized with just 1 minute left in the additional 5 minutes given by the referee.
Bayern came roaring back in the second half with Lewandowski firing them to lead in the 48th minute and Leroy Sane backing up Bayern’s lead in the 80th minute.
Erling Haland pulls back for Dortmund in the 83rd minute as Dortmund tried to equalize just before the final whistle.
