Bundesliga: This is how Bayern, BVB and Leverkusen played.

BVB away flight stops

Once again, Emre Can is talking at BVB. The Dortmund captain has been showing fluctuating performances for weeks. After the outstanding performance against Leipzig, he did his team a disservice against Mainz when he slipped off opponent Jae-Sung Lee with an open sole at ankle height and was correctly sent off the pitch. Lee is outstanding at Mainz. After a few minutes in the majority, the South Korean (36th) scored to make it 1-0, before later also helping to make it 2-1 by Jonathan Burkardt (45th + 3). Dortmund was able to equalize thanks to a Guirassy penalty (40′), but in the end that wasn’t enough. Paul Nebel (54th) scores the 3-1 for Mainz after the break and thus seals BVB’s fourth defeat in the fifth away game of this Bundesliga season.

Leverkusen leaves points in Bochum

Leverkusen stumbles in the championship race against a troubled Bochum and only plays 1-1. Shortly before the end, Miyoshi equalized for the relegation candidate. After Peter Zeidler was fired, Bundesliga veteran Dietmar Hecking took over on the sidelines. The new coach was able to give Bochum a new stability, but the workers from the Ruhr area were far from scoring a goal for a long time. In complete contrast to Bayer: a pass from Florian Wirtz put Patrick Schick in such a good position that he scored the winning goal via the goalie and the inside post. As usual, the Leverkusen team’s driving force was Granit Xhaka. The captain couldn’t prevent the late goal being conceded.

Bayern do their duty in St. Pauli

In 2002, FC St. Pauli beat Bayern and afterwards called themselves the “World Cup winners”. This Saturday the Hamburgers cannot achieve the sensation. Jamal Musiala (25th minute) proves his form and puts Munich in the lead with a dream goal. After the break, Bayern have a lot of possession but few compelling chances to score. So in the end it remains a 1-0 win for the German record champions.

Bremen header breaks Kiel’s neck

Bremen spoiled Holstein Kiel’s next point in the relegation battle. While Bochum only has one point to their name, the promoted team still has five points after the 1-2 win in Bremen. Werder takes the lead thanks to a powerful shot from Jens Stage from around 20 meters (36th). The guests also scored from the same distance through Phil Harres, who completed a lightning-fast counterattack by Kiel with a lot of self-confidence (48th). Bremen had previously made it 2-0, but goalscorer Romano Schmid had the ball on his arm. Correct intervention from VAR. Kiel goes into the final phase with the point they thought was safe. But Werder didn’t give up and surprisingly scored a 2-1 winning goal with a powerful header from Oliver Burke.
