With a pleasantly diverting draw, Wolfsburg and Bayern bring the curtain down on their seasons.
Bayern was well on top in the first half, going 2-0 up. However, Jonas Wind knocked the wind out of the champions just before half-time.
And Kruse equalised for Wolfsburg around the hour mark. Both teams went for the win late on, but we’re happy to share the spoils in the end.
