VIDEO: Aubameyang forces extra time with tight-angled equaliser vs. Bayern Munich
Looking to give manager Jurgen Klopp one last win in Der Klassiker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came to Borussia Dortmund's rescue in the 75th minute of their DFB-Pokal semifinal versus Bayern Munich.
The buildup to the goal was beautiful. After Marco Reus played a spinning aerial ball into the box that took out Bayern's backline, Shinji Kagawa one-timed a pass across the face of goal where Aubameyang slid in to tap the ball just over the goal line.
This screenshot should settle any doubts over whether or not the ball crossed the line:

While Aubameyang's form in the DFB-Pokal has been impressive - the goal marks his fourth in three appearances - the Gabonese forward truly is shining in all competitions of late.
