Bayern Munich moved seven points clear of rivals Borussia Dortmund atop the Bundesliga table with a 1-0 win inside of a mostly empty Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday.

Roughly three minutes before the break, Bayern's Joshua Kimmich chipped Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki with an attempt Burki likely feels he could've stopped upon examinations:

Controversy struck in the 58th minute when Jerome Boateng appeared to deliberately deny an Erling Haaland strike with an outstretched arm inside the Dortmund box. No penalty was awarded.

Barring an unforeseen collapse, Tuesday's result all but guarantees Bayern the Bundesliga crown. The league-leaders climbed to 64 points, while Dortmund remain on 57. Both have six matches left on their domestic schedules.

RB Leipzig, on 54 points, have a game in hand over both contenders. They host Hertha Berlin on Wednesday.
