Joker Moukoko meets: BVB shows heart and beats Union Berlin

Borussia Dortmund won the duel between Bayern’s pursuers against 1. FC Union Berlin and, after two hard defeats, created a spirit of optimism again. At the end of a bitter week of football with the defeat at the Bundesliga summit in Munich and the cup in Leipzig, coach Edin Terzic’s team deservedly defeated the “Iron” 2-1 (1-0). With a further two points behind, the Revierklub stays tuned to FC Bayern Munich. In addition, the significantly improved BVB distanced the third-placed Berliners to five points.

In front of 81,365 fans in Dortmund, Donyell Malen (28th minute) gave the hosts the lead on Saturday. In the meantime, Kevin Behrens equalized for the Berliners (61′), before Youssoufa Moukoko, who had just come on as a substitute, caused huge cheers in the stadium with his winning goal (79′). For the surprise team Union, the defeat four days after the 0-2 in the DFB Cup at Eintracht Frankfurt was the next disappointment.

Impressive comeback: Bayer Leverkusen pulls at Eintracht Frankfurt

Bayer Leverkusen continued their impressive comeback run under coach Xabi Alonso and outperformed Eintracht Frankfurt in a direct duel. The “Werkself” won 3-1 (2-0) against the Hessians and took their sixth place, which would entitle them to play in the Europa League at the end of the season. Bayer, who equaled the club record from 2002 with their seventh competitive win in a row, are the last Bundesliga side to meet Union Saint-Gilloise in the first leg of the quarter-finals. Eintracht as last year’s winner is the great role model here.

In a direct comparison, the French Amine Adli (10th minute) and Moussa Diaby (34th) shot out for the half-time lead after assisting the outstanding Florian Wirtz. Djibril Sow shortened (75′) before Sardar Azmoun made the decision (90’+5′). When Alonso took office after the eighth matchday, Bayer was eleven places behind Frankfurt in 17th place, six matchdays ago the gap was eleven points. But while the Hessians have only gotten three points without a win since then, Bayer have had 16 without a defeat. In the next game against Mönchengladbach, Frankfurt will also have to do without Mario Götze, who saw his fifth yellow card.

Thanks to de Ligt: Long-range shot brings FC Bayern victory at SC Freiburg

Central defender Matthijs de Ligt scored the winning goal (51st minute) in a game in which Bayern struggled for long stretches.

In the table, Munich maintained the lead in front of Borussia Dortmund. Despite the setback, Freiburg are still on course for the European Cup. Coach Christian Streich’s team suffered their first defeat after seven unbeaten league games in a row.

Cologne descent stopped: 3:1 liberation at FC Augsburg

Despite a draw against Werder Bremen: Mainz 05 can continue to dream of Europe

1. FSV Mainz 05 has extended its winning streak to eight games without defeat and can continue to dream of Europe.
