Master Bayer Leverkusen has just preserved the hope of a successful title defense. The team of coach Xabi Alonso won 1-0 (0-0) at the last minute at 1st FC Heidenheim and thus remains six points behind FC Bayern before the last six games in the Bundesliga. The Munich team had presented a 3-1 at FC Augsburg on Friday, but also lost young star Jamal Musiala with a muscle bundle tear until the end of the season.
There is great excitement in the race for the Champions League ranks. The fourth -placed FSV Mainz 05 surprisingly failed at 1-1 (0: 1) against the bottom of the table Holstein Kiel, whereby RB Leipzig, thanks to a 3: 1 (2: 1) against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, was able to get up to one counter with 45 points. It was the first victory for the new coach Zsolt Löw after there was the trophy ko at VfB Stuttgart during the week.
BVB and VfB on the advance
Borussia Dortmund (41) and VfB Stuttgart (40) also approached the royal class places. BVB won 4: 1 (1-0) at SC Freiburg, is now eighth and, with the second win in a series, joined the Champions League cracker against FC Barcelona on Wednesday. VfB rounded off a perfect week through a 4: 0 (2: 0) at VfL Bochum and took ninth place.
The embarrassing cup out of the third division club Arminia Bielefeld was still effective in the Leverkuseners. Not much went together in Heidenheim either. It was only in added time that Emiliano Buendia hit the Worseself for lucky victory (90.+1). Bayer is no longer at risk from behind. Especially since Mainz also failed – despite the equalizer of Nelson Weiper (75th). Alexander Bernhardsson (34th) gave the Kielers a surprising point win and new hope in the relegation battle.

Gulacsi and Baumann Patzen
In Leipzig, two of the best league goalkeepers made inexplicable dropouts. First, RB keeper Peter Gulacsi initiated the early goal of Tom Bishop (11th) with a false pass, then Germany’s current number one made Oliver Baumann on the opposite side of Benjamin Sesko’s header (24th). Baumann had already clapped three weeks ago in the defeat against St. Pauli. After the red card for Hoffenheim’s Leo Östigard (28th), RB came to victory through goals from Ridle Baku (43.) and Yussuf Poulsen (84th).
Freiburg was again a pleasant opponent for BVB. Karim Adeyemi (34th), Carney Chukwuemeka (52nd), Serhou Guirassy (68th) and Jamie Gitten (78th) ensured the seventh win in a row against the Breisgauer, who are still placed with 42 points as a seventh before BVB. For Freiburg, Maximilian Eggestein’s goal was far too little (88th).
VfB had no problems. Three days after moving into the cup final, Jeff Chabot (8th) and three times Ermedin Demirovic (11th, 48th and 85th) came out. Bochum is still on a relegation zone after the defeat.
