A peat festival for the last title chance: FC Bayern Munich has shown a remarkable reaction to its royal class KO and took a big step towards the championship in the Bundesliga. Three days after the painful quarter-finals in the Champions League at Inter Milan, the team of coach Vincent Kompany won 4-0 (3-0) with the 1,0 (3: 0).
Goal scorer Harry Kane (13th minute) with his 60th goal in the 60th Bundesliga game, Konrad Laimer (19th) and Kingsley Coman (36th) met before the break for the superior Munich. In the second half, captain Joshua Kimmich (56th) followed up in front of 15,000 spectators for the guests. Thomas Müller, who experiences his last games as Bayern professional this spring, was substituted half an hour before the end.
In the table, the leader temporarily expanded his lead to pursuer Bayer Leverkusen to nine points. The defending champion plays on Sunday evening (7:30 p.m./DAZN) at FC St. Pauli. Heidenheim, the weakest home team in the league, has already received the eleventh defeat of the defeat in his own stadium and must hope to save the relegation rank in the final sprint. This time the Swabians were far from a sensation like the 3: 2 against Bayern a year ago.
RB Leipzig only draw against Holstein Kiel
Thanks to Benjamin Sesko, RB Leipzig prevented an embarrassing defeat against the bottom of the Holstein Kiel. The striker, which was courted across Europe, made his goal to 1-1 (0: 1) for damage limitation in the fight for the Champions League. However, the Saxons are worried about goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi, who had to be treated for minutes after a violent collision with David Zec in the 62nd minute and then injured.
In front of 45,940 fans, Shuto Machino (44th) shocked the Leipziger, who had been weakening until then, with his eighth goal of the season. The leadership of the newcomer was by no means undeserved. Sesko converted a penalty in the 74th minute and secured RB another point. Leipzig also narrowly defended the fourth place entitled to the premier class. In addition, RB prevented the first defeat with a promoted duel in the 36th duel.
SC Freiburg only trembles: 3-2 against TSG Hoffenheim
SC Freiburg has underpinned its European Cup ambitions with a victory in the Baden-Württemberg state duel against TSG Hoffenheim. After two home defeats one after the other, the Breisgauer also prevailed 3: 2 (2: 2) thanks to a double pack of Lucas Höler and thus prevented the hiring of a club negative record in the Bundesliga.
Höler (28th minute) and Ritsu Doan (36th) met in the first round in front of 34,100 spectators for the sports club before the Hoffenheimer Marius Bülter and Andrej Kramaric made the game open within three minutes (45.+2/45.+5). After the restart, Höler secured the 14th win of the season with his second goal (57th).
The Freiburgers therefore continue to belong to the upper third of the table and can have justified hopes of returning to the international stage. Most recently, the sports club played in the Europa League in the 2023/24 season. In the remaining four games, the Hoffenheimers fight for a conciliatory conclusion of a playing time mixed over long distances.
Wolfsburg brings 2-2 in Mainz to the last trigger
Denis Vavro has just prevented the fifth defeat in VfL Wolfsburg series. The Slovak saved a 2: 2 (1: 2) at 1. FSV Mainz 05 – in the 89th minute with its deflected header. The hosts around the returned national players Nadiem Amiri and Jonathan Burkardt are allowed to dream of participating in the European Cup, but went off the field with long faces.
The team of coach Ralph Hasenhüttl was only able to fend off the next setback with great effort. Captain Maximilian Arnold had already given VfL in front of 31,500 spectators with a 30-meter shot in the third minute. Jae-Sung Lee (37th) and Dominik Kohr (40th) turned the game before the break. The zero five have been waiting for a threesome for five games without a win.
Later victory against Bochum: Werder Bremen dreams of Europe
Werder Bremen may continue to dream of European Cup nights next season at the Weser. The SVW only won 1-0 (0-0) against relegation candidate VfL Bochum thanks to an increase in performance and a late goal and remains in the race for the coveted international ranks. Despite some weak phases, the team of coach Ole Werner celebrated the fourth league victory one after the other.
Bochum, on the other hand, collected the fifth bankruptcy in a row and has to continue to tremble for whereabouts in the league. The district club is in 17th place in the table with two points behind the relegation rank.
In front of 42,100 spectators in the sold -out Weser Stadium, Mitchell Weiser (80th) scored the goal of the day, which also withstanded a review by the video referee. Previously, the VAR had withdrawn from Marvin Ducksch (55th). In a heated final phase and pack formation, Bochum Ibrahima Sissoko still collected yellow-red (86.).
