Leverkusen achieved their tenth success in the eleventh league game of the season in front of 29,387 spectators in the BayArena thanks to goals from Alejandro Grimaldo (23rd), Odilon Kossounou (56th), Jonathan Tah (73rd) and Nathan Tella (83rd). . The Berlin guests, with captain Christopher Trimmel involved in the second half, have already suffered their ninth Bundesliga defeat in a row and are second to last, in a direct relegation zone for the first time this season.
On Saturday, two “jokers” saved us from a setback in the title fight. After a brace from Harry Kane, coach Thomas Tuchel’s team looked like the sure winners against 1. FC Heidenheim, but after the break the promoted team fought back and equalized. Thanks to goals from Raphael Guerreiro and Eric Choupo-Moting, Bayern were still able to celebrate a victory.
German Bundesliga
Schedule and table
Third-placed VfB Stuttgart celebrated a 2-1 (1-1) win against Borussia Dortmund with Serhou Guirassy’s goal comeback. In fourth place, BVB is already ten points behind Leverkusen or eight less than Bayern. TSG Hoffenheim remains within reach of the top group thanks to the 1-1 (1-0) draw at FC Augsburg. In the fight against relegation, FSV Mainz 05 couldn’t get past a 0-0 draw with Darmstadt, but still occupied relegation place 16 behind the “Lilien” at least until Sunday evening.
Kane scores a brace before the break
In Munich, striker Kane (14th) gave Bayern the lead in front of 70,000 spectators with a shot from the turn and scored his 17th goal of the season (44th) before half-time. The Englishman has now scored more goals than last season’s top scorers, Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku.
ÖFB team player Konrad Laimer and Co. actually had little trouble against the promoted team, but in the second half Tim Kleindienst (67th) and Jan-Niklas Beste (70th) scored after a mistake by Min-jae Kim Compensation. Guerreiro (72nd) put Bayern back in the lead a little later. Choupo-Moting, who was also a substitute (85th), decided the game.
Dortmund takes the lead in Stuttgart
In Stuttgart, BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel caught Deniz Undav off his feet in the penalty area early in the game. Kobel saved Chris Führich’s due and weakly shot penalty without much trouble (11th). VfB was still significantly better in the game. Dortmund also had to do without the visibly injured Mats Hummels from the 28th minute onwards; Ramy Bensebaini came on in his place.
BVB still scored the first goal: Füllkrug (36th) put the guests in the lead. Undav (42nd) scored the deserved equalizer shortly before the break. After Kobel’s second serious foul, this time on Silas Katompa Mvumpa, Guirassy (83′) took advantage of the penalty to take the lead.
Augsburg saves home draw
Hoffenheim took the lead through Wout Weghorst, who scored with a header in the 23rd minute. Ermedin Demirovic (53rd) made the home fans celebrate the equalizer. After a good individual performance, the 25-year-old scored with a slightly deflected shot from the edge of the penalty area. The game had to be briefly interrupted in the 58th minute because of a firecracker set off in the fan block and one fan was treated.
In Darmstadt, both teams found it difficult to build up pressure in front of the opposing goal. The fans practically didn’t see any chances to score in the first half – but they did see them in the briefly entertaining final phase.
Cologne remains at the bottom
1. FC Köln is still bottom of the table after a 1-1 (0-1) draw at VfL Bochum. In the game with the two Austrian captains Florian Kainz (Cologne) and Kevin Stöger (Bochum), Lukas Daschner put the host VfL in the lead (25th), Davie Selke (54th) equalized.
