Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich), who was substituted immediately after a defensive error, received criticism.

On the 13th (Korean time), Munich drew 2-2 against Borussia Dortmund in the 29th round of the 2024-2025 German Bundesliga home match held at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

Adding 1 point, Munich recorded 21 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses (69 points). They missed an opportunity to distance themselves from second-placed Bayer Leverkusen (63 points). The gap remained 6 points. Bayer Leverkusen also drew 0-0 with Union Berlin.

Kim Min-jae was selected as a central defender alongside Eric Dier.

In the early stages of the first half, Kim Min-jae, who spared no effort in defense, managed to block Dortmund's attack, but in the 39th minute, he failed to handle the ball properly and made a mistake by losing it to Julian Ryerson. Fortunately, he quickly tackled to resolve the crisis, although he inadvertently gifted his team a counter-attack opportunity.

In the second half, Kim Min-jae's defense wavered. In the 3rd minute, Munich conceded the opening goal to Bayer, as Kim Min-jae, who was in a better position than Bayer, was unable to keep up with his movement and provided the opportunity for the goal. Bayer scored with a header from a cross coming in from the right.

Ultimately, Kim Min-jae was substituted for Raphael Guerreiro in the 9th minute of the second half and left the field.

Kim Min-jae, who retreated to the bench immediately after conceding a goal, could not hide his disappointment.

Munich leveled the match in the 20th minute of the second half. Guerreiro received a pass from Thomas Müller and scored the equalizer with a right-foot shot from the left side of the penalty area.

Riding the momentum, Munich extended their lead in the 24th minute when Serge Gnabry broke through on the left side and added another goal with a right-foot shot, putting them ahead 2-1.

However, they could not secure the victory. In the 30th minute of the second half, Munich allowed an equalizer to Waldemar Anton in a chaotic situation, finishing the match in a 2-2 draw.

Kim Min-jae received evaluations from local German media for his poor performance in the match.

'TZ' gave Kim Min-jae a rating of 5, noting, "He played while battling a cold and Achilles tendon pain. However, he did not show an impressive performance in the match against Dortmund and made several positional errors."

It specifically pointed out, "He also lost track of Bayer during the goal conceded."

In German media ratings, 1 point is the highest and 5 points is the lowest, meaning a higher number indicates poorer performance.
