In the 28th minute Martinez atoned for his error as he scored with a bullet header to bring Bayern back into the match.

Mats Hummels made it 2-1 for Bayern just before the break, as he turned home a cross from Franck Ribery.
The match went into the break with Bayern having come from behind twice to be on the driving seat at 2-1.
Arjen Robben came close to making it 3-1 for the home side after 58 minutes but his left-footed curler hit the far right post.
However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leveled matters for Dortmund after 70 minutes after finishing off a well-worked move.
The visitors then went ahead five minutes later thanks to a strike from French starlet, Ousmane Dembele.
Ancelotti's charges pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages of the second half, but Dortmund managed to hold on for the win.
