With just one point in a title race for the ages,
reigning and record title holders Bayern München were looking to press their advantage
as they welcomed Leipzig to the Allianz Arena on the penultimate matchday of the season.
Unbeaten on home soil in the current campaign,
Bayern set the tone in the opening exchanges
and rewarded themselves with the opening goal after a lovely move
that ended with Serge Gnabry scoring his fifth goal in his last four games.
Leipzig hadn't had a shot on goal before conceding
but bounced back as Jan Sommer was forced into three saves in quick succession.
This denial of Schaubeschleier, the stop boasting the greatest degree of difficulty.
The best chance of the half, though, fell to Kingsley Coman
just over five minutes before half-time.
Cancelo the provider, but the Frenchman failed to deliver
what would have been a precious second goal before the break for Bayern.
The record title holders this season have been uncharacteristically poor
at killing games off, though, and that trend continued
as Leipzig leveled the scores 20 minutes after the restart.
It was a blistering counterattack where they had numbers on their side.
The finish provided by Konrad Leimer.
The man set to join Bayern in the summer,
merciless in putting a dagger through the heart of his future employer's title hopes.
That dagger was then driven deeper
when Benjamin Pavard felled Christopher Nkunku in the box.
Having won the penalty, Nkunku then converted the penalty
and with quarter of an hour left to play, sent Bayern into desperation mode.
However, things only went from bad to worse for the Bundesliga title holders
as Nuzer Mazraoui's handball saw Leipzig awarded a second penalty,
this time converted by Schaubeschleier
as he put the icing on the cake of Leipzig's first ever win in Munich.
With it, Leipzig secured Champions League qualification for a fifth season running.
Meanwhile, Bayern's title hopes are on the ropes.
3-1 the final score.
