Borowski's 74th minute equaliser away to Borussia Dortmund gave ten-man Bayern a valuable point, and prevented a sluggish start from turning into a crisis.

“It’s always special when you score your first goal for a new club,” the ex Werder Bremen star told fcbayern.de. “It wasn’t just any old goal, it was the equaliser.

“it was an important goal. It was obvious what would have gone off if we’d lost in Dortmund, so I was really delighted.“

He added: “We went for it after half-time and put into practice the things we’ve worked on in training. We covered a lot of ground and created chances. It was a fantastic team performance, given we had a man less.“

Borowski went on to highlight the fact that he is still not 100 percent recovered from an injury that caused him to miss much of pre-season.

“I had to work my way back from that, so I lack match practice. The half-hour against Hamburg and the half against Dortmund have done me a lot of good. It’s something to build on.“

“Step-by-step, we’re approaching where we want to be.

“We can be satisfied with a point in Dortmund, but we need a first win when we play Hertha Berlin at the weekend.”
