Eintracht victory: Glasner watched from the box
Without Oliver Glasner, Eintracht Frankfurt ended its months-long earnings crisis. The Hessians clearly defeated Mainz 3-0 (2-0). Glasner, who was suspended after a red card, watched from a box as his team scored their first league win since mid-February. Daichi Kamada (19’/penalty), Aurelio Buta (40′) and Randal Kolo Muani (59′) scored for the cup finalists, who kept hopes of a European place via the league. Glasner, whose departure at the end of the season became official during the week, was represented by his assistant Michael Angerschmid.
In the race for the Champions League places, Union Berlin pulled away from pursuers Freiburg with a 4:2 (3:0) home win. Christopher Trimmel was honored at Union before kick-off for his 300th competitive game in the ranks of Berlin. VfL Bochum scored three important points in the relegation battle by beating Augsburg 3-2 (1-1). After the 1: 2 (0: 1) in Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim has to worry about staying in the class again.
Gnabry scored twice
Müller gave Bayern a deserved lead in the 21st minute. After Schalke’s Cedric Brunner fouled Jamal Musiala in the penalty area, Joshua Kimmich (29′) increased from the penalty spot. After the break, Gnabry (50′, 65′) scored twice, and substitute Mathys Tel (80′) and Noussair Mazraoui (92′) also scored. The offensive almost non-existent Schalke slipped to the relegation rank.
Kevin Behrens (5th) put Union on course against Freiburg in the million-euro game for the Champions League, Sheraldo Becker (36th) increased and then celebrated his goal with a mask of the superhero Spiderman. He saw a yellow card for it. Just two minutes later, the offensive player scored again. Manuel Gulde (56th) and Vincenzo Grifo (70th / penalty kick) gave Freiburg, who started without the sick Philipp Lienhart, hope again before Aissa Laidouni (80th) scored for Union. Michael Gregoritsch came into play at Freiburg after the break.
