Bayern Munich<\/a> came from behind and finished the match with nine players in a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> on Saturday, allowing Borussia Dortmund<\/a> to close to within nine points of the Bundesliga<\/a> leader.<\/p>\n

Luis D\u00edaz<\/a>, who scored the equalizer following Aleix Garc\u00eda<\/a>‘s opener, was sent off in the 84th minute for a second yellow card. Nicolas Jackson<\/a> had received a red card in the 42nd minute.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen took the lead in the sixth minute after Montrell Culbreath<\/a> stole the ball off D\u00edaz and fed it to Patrik Schick<\/a>, who set up Garc\u00eda on the edge of the box. The midfielder slotted home with a deflected shot.<\/p>\n

\"\"Bayern Munich had two players sent off in a draw with Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n

The hosts defended well to contain Bayern’s attempts to come back, and frustration showed when Jackson was sent off before halftime for a late challenge on Martin Terrier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bayern played with third-choice goalkeeper Sven Ulreich<\/a> because Manuel Neuer<\/a> has a calf issue and backup Jonas Urbig<\/a> was concussed in the 6-1 win over Atalanta<\/a> midweek in the Champions League. Ulreich denied an effort from Schick in a one-on-one situation at the hour mark just before Harry Kane<\/a> came on.<\/p>\n

Back from a calf injury, Kane played for the first time since Feb. 28 after scoring eight goals in his past four Bundesliga games. He fired the ball into an empty net in the 62nd minute but it was disallowed for blocking the goalkeeper’s clearance with a hand in the buildup.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz leveled in the 69th with a low shot from Michael Olise<\/a>‘s precise setup. The Colombia<\/a> winger later received a second yellow card for diving and Bayern was down to nine men with six minutes left to play. The hosts could not snatch the win despite pushing hard until the end as Jonas Hofmann<\/a> had a goal ruled out deep in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
