30 minutes gone, still 0-0. Dortmund have looked the better side, creating more chances whilst defensively keeping Bayern to practically zero going forward. Despite their dominance, Dortmund haven't tested Neuer really since that double save very early on.

HT. 0-0

Great open attacking game which Dortmund probably really should be leading at present. As mentioned earlier, Dortmund are creating a large number of chances while Bayern have continued to look rather dodgy going forward. Lewandowski has gone closest so far, in the 37th minute, latching onto a Kuba cross at the back post only for his header to be agonisingly denied by the post.

Would like to see Bayern impose themselves more in the second half despite the fact that I'd much prefer Dortmund to win or well, avoid defeat. Probably could bring on Bastian to give some creativity through the midfield, though it's a gamble given what's in store for Bayern in the coming weeks.

Approaching the last 20 minutes and it's now Bayern who are creating the half chances. Bastian's introduction into the game has provided a great deal of creativity that Bayern so dearly lacked in the first half. It's also allowed Ribery to start getting into the game.. though he's been looking for a penalty a couple of times. Hard to call where this one is headed given that it's still 0-0.

77' GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Lewandowski with the deftest of backheels from a Grobkreutz strike. It caught Neuer off guard and it may just be the goal that sees Dortmund successfully defend their Bundesliga crown.

PENALTY TO BAYERN! Robben brought down by Weidenfeller. Correct call

SAVED! Robben goes low and hard to his right and the Dortmund keeper just gobbles it up. Subotic just got in Robben's face while half the Dortmund side went and congratulated Weidenfeller. Great stuff.

91' Subotic almost with the OG! An attempted header goes straight into his own crossbar and Robben of all people, that man known for his brilliant goals manages to sky the rebound from about 3m out.

Dortmund go up the other end and Lewandowski's chip hits the crossbar.

Horrible game from Robben. He missed the penalty as well as an open goal from point blank range.

And that would be FT. Dortmund 1 - 0 Bayern

Superb game full of some late drama at both ends. Bayern struggled for much of the game but they had two glorious chances to equalise late, both falling to the hands of Robben. First a penalty, saved and then a chance that he really should've buried given his penchant to score some scintillating goals.

6 point lead to Dortmund now with 4 games left. Although they do face arch rivals Schalke this weekend, away, the league is their's to lose.

Brilliant last 15-20 minutes and absolutely delighted that BVB have won. Robben may have just effectively decided the title tonight on his own.

Missed the match because my belowed Arsenal played, but congrats to Borussia. Great team, great result, almost champions for 2nd season in row. Awesome football, excellent coach.
Dortmund will be even stronger next year, if they will keep leaders, Goetze already signed, Kagawa should sign the new deal, others leaders should stay. Plus Reus will join next season.

Excellent game in the Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke. Two excellent goals and the score is 1-1
