Bayern Munich's Luis Díaz was controversially sent off in a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen, with referee Christian Dingert later admitting the second yellow card for diving was incorrect. The decision came after Díaz had already equalized following Aleix García's sixth-minute opener for Leverkusen.

Nicolas Jackson received a straight red card before halftime for a poor tackle on Martin Terrier, leaving Bayern with nine men. The hosts took the lead when Montrell Culbreath stole the ball from Díaz and set up García, whose deflected shot beat third-choice goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.

Harry Kane returned from a calf injury but had a goal disallowed for blocking the goalkeeper's clearance. Kane praised the team's mental strength despite the adversity, while Kompany criticized the referee's decision as 'never a yellow card.' Bayern remains winless at Leverkusen since October 2021 and will face them again in the German Cup semifinal next month.
