Matchday 26 of the Bundesliga delivered exciting results on Saturday. In Leverkusen, Bayer took an early lead through Aleix García (6th minute), but Luis Díaz equalized for Bayern (69th) after a mistake by Robert Andrich. Despite red cards to Nicolas Jackson (42nd, rough foul) and Díaz (84th, dive), Bayern held the 1:1 draw. Referee Christian Dingert later admitted: 'Yellow-red very harsh.' Two Bayern goals by Jonathan Tah (26th) and Harry Kane (61st), plus Leverkusen's late strike by Jonas Hofmann, were disallowed by video review.
