Bayern Munich were frustrated in their opening Bundesliga match of the campaign as Hertha Berlin held on to claim a 2-2 draw.
2019/2020 Bundesliga
2-2
Match Report
Robert Lewandowski scored a double but Bayern Munich failed to get their Bundesliga campaign off to a winning start as they drew 2-2 with Hertha Berlin at Allianz Arena.
Lewandowski's 24th-minute goal put Niko Kovac's side, who are set to sign Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho on loan, ahead on Friday but Hertha turned the game on its head in the space of two minutes.
Dodi Lukebakio's fortunate strike restored parity in the 36th minute before Marko Grujic capitalized on sloppy Bayern defending.
Grujic turned from Hertha's hero to villain just prior to the hour, however, when his needless foul on Lewandowski was spotted by VAR but, although Bayern's striker tucked in the resulting penalty, the hosts could not carve out a winner.
