BERLIN (AP) — Jamal Musiala has scored in the 89th minute to fire Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga title with a 2-1 victory at Cologne after Borussia Dortmund could only draw on the final day of the season. Dortmund was held 2-2 at home by Mainz. That allowed Bayern to finish in first place with its better goal difference. Dortmund needed to win to be sure of ending Bayern’s 10-year reign as champion. Bayern announced shortly after winning the title it had fired chief executive Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić. Both were under scrutiny for their decision to fire Julian Nagelsmann as coach in March and replace him with Thomas Tuchel right before the team’s Champions League and German Cup exits.
