Union Berlin close to qualifying for the Champions League after beating SC Freiburg
“Spiderman” Sheraldo Becker brought 1. FC Union Berlin a good deal closer to the Champions League. The outstanding striker contributed two goals and two assists to the spectacular 4:2 (3:0) of the Berlin Bundesliga team against pursuers SC Freiburg. In addition to Becker, who scored in the 36th and 38th minute and pulled a Spiderman mask over his head after his first goal, Kevin Behrens (5th minute) and Aissa Laidouni (80th) were also successful for Union. Manuel Gulde (56th) and Vincenzo Grifo (70th / penalty kick) scored for Freiburg, who only became lively after the break.
In the table, the Berliners jumped to third place at least until Sunday – Freiburg, who were disappointing in the first half, are now three points and with the clearly worse goal difference behind Union in fifth place. Only the top four teams in the table qualify for the Champions League.
League leaders FC Bayern send FC Schalke 04 home without a chance
With the highest victory under coach Thomas Tuchel, FC Bayern is on course to win the next title in its impressive championship series. Led by Thomas Müller, who returned from the starting XI, and the strong bracer Serge Gnabry, the Munich team celebrated a relaxed 6-0 (2-0) gala against FC Schalke 04, who were in serious danger of relegation and slipped from 15th to 17th place. The Munich team is vehemently striving for the eleventh German championship in a row with two more game days left.
Füllkrug’s lead is melting: the top scorers in the Bundesliga
Müller initiated the convincing victory with his first goal since the 4-2 in Munich’s premiere game by Tuchel six weeks ago against pursuers BVB (21st minute). Joshua Kimmich with his first penalty and the 25th goal in total in the Bundesliga (29th) and Gnabry with a brace favored by opponent Maya Yoshida (50th/65th) used the weaknesses of the Schalke defense for more goals. Substitute Mathys Tel (80′) and then Noussair Mazraoui scored his debut goal in Bayern’s shirt.
VfL Bochum takes an important step in the relegation battle against FC Augsburg
A lightning goal, an own goal, a lucky goal: VfL Bochum made an impressive comeback in the relegation battle. After six previous games without a win, the Westphalians deservedly defeated FC Augsburg 3-2 (1-1), improved at least until Sunday to rank 15, which saved them at the end of the season, and even dragged the Swabians back into the relegation loop.
Christopher Antwi-Adjei put VfL in the lead after just 91 seconds. After Arne Maier equalized (29′), an own goal by captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw (60′) and a fortunately deflected shot by Bochum captain Anthony Losilla (62′) ensured VfL’s home win. Substitute Kelvin Yeboah, nephew of former Bundesliga top scorer Anthony Yeboah, reduced the deficit with his first Bundesliga goal (85th). With 34 points, the Augsburgers have two games before the end of the season, four points ahead of the relegation rank, on Sunday it could shrink to three.
Eintracht Frankfurt defeats FSV Mainz 05: Results crisis over for the time being
Ironically, without Oliver Glasner on the sidelines, Eintracht Frankfurt ended its month-long earnings crisis in the Bundesliga for the time being. The Hessians clearly defeated FSV Mainz 05 3-0 (2-0) in the Rhein-Main duel and thus passed their local rivals on the 32nd matchday. Glasner, who was suspended after a red card, watched from a box as his team confidently scored their first league win since mid-February. Daichi Kamada (19th minute / penalty), Aurelio Buta (40th) and Randal Kolo Muani (59th) scored in front of 50,000 fans for the cup finalists.
While Mainz had to accept their third defeat in a row, Eintracht kept their hopes of a place in Europe via the league. Seventh place would bring Frankfurt into the Conference League if the DFB Cup final is lost to RB Leipzig. If you were successful in the cup, you would certainly play in the Europa League.
VfL Wolfsburg narrowly wins home game against TSG Hoffenheim
For TSG 1899 Hoffenheim it will be tight again in the relegation battle. The table-14. lost 1:2 (0:1) at VfL Wolfsburg and missed the great opportunity to move away from the last three places against a harmless opponent. The previous penultimate VfL Bochum came within a point of Hoffenheim on this third-to-last matchday. VfB Stuttgart can do the same on Sunday.
In front of 22,617 fans, Jakub Kaminski headed the 1-0 for VfL in the 15th minute. Luca Waldschmidt scored a second goal fifteen minutes before the end (75′). The 2:1 through an own goal by Josuha Guilavogui only came in added time (90+3).
