With this draw, the second of the season in the Bundesliga, Bayern however ceded the leadership chair to Bayer Leverkusen, who won in Mainz and who have 16 points, compared to 14 for the Munich residents, third in the standings.
Weakened by several absences (Willi Orban, Timo Werner, Dani Olmo), Leipzig got off to a better start by opening the scoring with Belgian summer recruit Loïs Openda (20th minute) and doubling the lead with young French central defender Castello Lukeba six minutes later.
Harmless in the first half, Thomas Tuchel’s men came back with better intentions in the second, with the entries of Raphaël Guerreiro and Mathys Tel.
On a free kick from Leroy Sané, the match referee awarded a penalty to Bayern, after viewing the video, for a handball from Benjamin Henrichs. Harry Kane was quick to reduce the score, his eighth goal in the Bundesliga in six matches.
And on a counter led by Jamal Musiala, the German international launched Sané perfectly from deep to equalize in the 70th minute.
The two teams then neutralized each other. For a third consecutive week, they will have a match every three to four days. In the Champions League, Bayern travels to Copenhagen on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.), while Leipzig hosts Manchester City on Wednesday (9:00 p.m.).
