Hamburg Stuns Bayern with Late Equalizer in Bundesliga Thriller
31 January 2026
Match Snapshot
Hamburg forced a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in an exciting Saturday match at Volkspark, as the Bundesliga's 20th round unfolded.
Bayern Munich moved to 51 points, still leading the table, while Hamburg rose to 19 points in 13th.
Fabio Ferreira opened the scoring for the hosts from a 34th-minute penalty, but English star Harry Kane equalized for the Bavarians soon after, in the 42nd minute.
Second-half Twist and Implications
At the start of the second half, Colombian winger Luis Diaz gave the visitors the lead in the 46th minute, before Luka Vuskovic equalized for Hamburg in the 53rd.
This was Bayern's second straight league game without a win, following last weekend's 2-1 home defeat to Augsburg in the Bavarian derby.
Hamburg, meanwhile, handed Borussia Dortmund a precious gift as the visitors sit second on 42 points, with a potential six-point gap if Dortmund beat Heidenheim on Sunday.
Looking ahead, Dortmund's clash against Heidenheim could tighten the title race depending on that result.
PUNCHLINE: If Bayern's defense were a sniper, its aim would be “miss by a mile”—and the crowd would still cheer the shot at the scoreboard.
PUNCHLINE 2: Maybe Bayern needs a mental coach for their backline; apparently, the ball keeps finding the back of the net no matter what they try.
