After Bayern’s defeat, several clubs could get closer to the Bavarians. Between Leipzig, Frankfurt, Dortmund and Leverkusen, who carried out the best operation of the 14th day?
Surprised on the Mainz pitch (2-1), Bayern experienced the first defeat of their season in the Bundesliga. The opportunity for his pursuers to return to the ranking. The shock of this 14th day took place this Sunday on the pitch in Leipzig with a duel between the RBL and Eintracht Frankfurt. An air of déjà vu since the two teams faced each other in the round of 16 of the German Cup a few days ago. Leipzig won this match easily (3-0) and wanted to confirm for act number 2.
Frankfurt losing momentum
There will have been no miracle for Eintracht. Held in check in Augsburg (2-2) on the last day, Ekitike’s teammates lost on the Leipzig pitch (2-1) and fell to third place. Sesko and Openda took advantage of Baumgartner’s two services to offer the three points to the RBL and put their team on equal points with their opponent of the day (27). Leipzig is recovering well to forget its setbacks in the Champions League. After a defeat at Lyon in the middle of the week in the Europa League, Frankfurt continues a fourth match without a victory in all competitions.
Dortmund hanging on in stoppage time
After two draws in a row, Dortmund was keen to win against Hoffenheim at home. Facing the 14th in the championship, BVB, which recorded the return of Adeyemi, started well by opening the score thanks to Reyna. But the visitors did not give up to equalize in stoppage time. On a long touch in the area, Bruun Larsen was more lively to get ahead of his direct opponent and shoot Kobel. This draw does not do the business of Borussia who leaves the European places with an 8th position and a delay of 11 points on the Bavarian leader.
Leverkusen in ambush
The big winner of the 14th day is perhaps called Bayer Leverkusen. With a fourth victory in a row in the Bundesliga, Xabi Alonso’s team comes back to four points behind Bayern. A success on the Augsburg pitch (0-2) which confirms the great victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League. Just like Bayer, Friborg (5th) and Stuttgart (6th) won and completed the Top 6 of the championship.
