Bayern Munich v Ajax (Champions League 2018-19)

Bayern Munich v Ajax was a match which took place at Allianz Arena on Tuesday, 2 October 2018. It was a group stage match of the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League.

Ajax came from behind in the Champions League to earn a 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich and leave the German champions three games without a win. Mats Hummels headed Bayern into an early lead, only for Noussair Mazraoui to equalise on 22 minutes.

After a draw at home to Augsburg and defeat by Hertha Berlin, Bayern looked to be back on track when Hummels headed home from Arjen Robben's fourth-minute cross. But Ajax found a positive response as Mazraoui fired past Manuel Neuer from the edge of the box after exchanging passes with former Southampton midfielder Dušan Tadić. Neuer then saved from Hakim Ziyech and Nicolás Tagliafico either side of half-time, and Donny van de Beek poked wide from close range. Bayern had chances to go back in front as Thiago Alcântara fired wide and James Rodríguez was denied by André Onana, but Lasse Schöne's free-kick hit the Bayern crossbar deep into stoppage time.

Ajax remain above Bayern on goal difference, with Benfica a point behind after their victory at AEK Athens.
