Borussia Dortmund ended Bayern Munich’s dreams of a treble by beating Pep Guardiola’s men in the semi-final of the DFB-Pokal in a dramatic penalty shoot-out.

– Arjen Robben set for Bayern return

Robert Lewandowski put Bayern in front and they appeared to be cruising until Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang levelled in the 75th minute.

Arjen Robben came and went with an injury ending his brief involvement in the game, while Dortmund ended the game with 10 men after Kevin Kampl was sent off in extra-time.

The real drama was to unfold in the penalty shoot-out, though, with Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso both slipping and Mario Gotze’s penalty saved before Manuel Neuer sent his spot-kick against the crossbar with Dortmund netting only two of their three penalties to go through.

The result means Dortmund have the chance to claim one more piece of silverware under Jurgen Klopp, who is set to depart in the summer. 

Dortmund wasted the first big chance of the game when Shinji Kagawa’s attempted pass to put Marco Reus through on goal was intercepted, and within seconds the ball was being played through to Lewandowski.

His first shot came back off the post, but the danger did not end there as the Polish forward stroked the ball into an unguarded goal from a tight angle to put Bayern in front.

Lewandowski nearly had a second early in the second half when he was put through by Juan Bernat’s neat reverse pass, but the Pole struck the crossbar.

Bayern were still in complete control, until Dortmund levelled out of nowhere.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan took the place of Kagawa, and it was from his cross that Aubameyang turned the ball in with Neuer’s clearance coming after the ball had already crossed his line.

Dortmund were suddenly not only back in the game, but on top of it too with Neuer forced into making fine saves, first from Mkhitaryan and then from the lively Marco Reus.

Tiredness was evident on both sides in the extra 30 minutes and, apart from two Bastian Schweinsteiger headers, Dortmund were largely comfortable as they held on before finishing the upset in the shootout.
