Bayern keeps title race open

It was a result in Grindig-Stadion which did not satisfy either Nuremberg or Bayern. Kovac's men took control of the pitch in the first minutes. Meanwhile, Nürnberg defended tidily, without suffering too much. Coman was the one who carried more danger in the attacks of the Bavarians, although they could not transform any chances into goals.

It was not until the 22nd minute that the first chance of the match came. Alaba crashed the ball into the crossbar through a free kick. Müller also failed to open the score moments later.

Matheus Pereira, who was going to be the protagonist later, gave the first scare in Bayern's goal. The first 45 minutes were over.

Matheus Pereira did not miss his second chance after a bad rejection by Ulreich and put the home team ahead with a cross shot. The goal approached them to salvation and the team wanted to secure it with the second one. 

However, Süle was very active in defense and showed his prominence. The changes reactivated Bayern and the goal came from one of Bayern's substitutes. 

Serge Gnabry overcame Mathiena after a thigh strike. James, who also entered the second half, didn't do much besides a few interesting actions. 

The last few minutes were very intense. In the 89th minute Davies committed a penalty, but Leibold wanted to adjust it so much that he found Ulreich's left post. In one of the last actions, Coman did not manage to deliver in an action that could have delivered a second goal. 

With the draw, Nürnberg are within five points of the relegation position, while Bayern took an extra point in the lead over Borussia Dortmund and now have a two-point advantage.
