The German midfielder's shot was nearly denied by goalie Roman Burki, but the unexpected move was key to find the back of the net.

Der Klassiker was one of the most anticipated matches once the Bundesliga announced that it would go back to action after the coronavirus pause, and the game has not disappointed football fans with its high-octane display and action in front of both goals.

While most fans expected Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland to open up the scoring, the unsung hero ended up being Joshua Kimmich, who came up with a delightful finish to give Bayern the lead before the end of the first half.

Kimmich's chip was almost denied by Roman Bürki, but the Swiss goalkeeper might have been caught off-guard by this unexpected gesture courtesy of the German midfielder.

It was Kimmich's first goal in Der Klassiker, and surely fans will remember it fondly in years to come if it helps Die Roten win the Bundesliga title.
