Two draws in a row? You notice that at FC Bayern. In the 1-1 draw in Hoffenheim, the Munich side had a good chance of winning. Freiburg proved his class and VfB that he lives. The game day.
FC Bayern Munich has again lost two points in the Bundesliga. A week after the 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, the league leaders did not get more than 1-1 (1-1) at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday at the start of the 26th matchday. As a result, pursuer Borussia Dortmund can reduce the gap to seven points with a win this Sunday.
With a 3-2 (2-0) win against VfL Wolfsburg, SC Freiburg improved, at least temporarily, to fourth place with 44 points ahead of Hoffenheim, who are tied on points. In the fight against relegation, VfB Stuttgart scored an important point with a 1-1 (0-1) win at Union Berlin. FC Augsburg’s game against 1. FSV Mainz 05 was postponed due to too many corona cases in Mainz.
TSG Hoffenheim – Bayern Munich 1: 1 (1: 1)
In a gripping Bundesliga top game and in glorious sunshine, FC Bayern Munich showed themselves to be in the best of moods – but forgot about scoring goals. The league leaders only drew 1-1 (1-1) at Champions League aspirants TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday. Four days after the 7-1 win against RB Salzburg in the premier class, coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team failed at his previous job when they had numerous chances. In front of 25,600 spectators in the sold-out Sinsheim stadium, Christoph Baumgartner even gave the Kraichgau team the lead (32nd minute). Robert Lewandowski equalized with his 29th goal of the season (45+3). In the table, the German champions are now ten points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who play Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday and still have the catch-up game in Mainz. For TSG, the series of four wins ended with a respectable draw against the defending champion.
SC Freiburg – VfL Wolfsburg 3: 2 (2: 0)
Thanks to a strong Vincenzo Grifo and winning goal scorer Nico Schlotterbeck, SC Freiburg can hope more and more for the Champions League qualification. National defender Schlotterbeck scored the late goal to make it 3-2 (2-0) against VfL Wolfsburg and ensured success in the turbulent final phase (87th minute). After Max Kruse connected against his ex-club (52nd), Maximilian Arnold had only recently equalized for Lower Saxony, who had only improved in the second half (84th). At the beginning Grifo put the Breisgauer in the lead in the first game after coach Christian Streich renewed his contract with his first brace in the Bundesliga. In front of 25,000 spectators, the offensive player scored with a direct free kick (7th minute) and followed up with a direct acceptance (44th). Freiburg, weakened by the corona-related failures of regular players Philipp Lienhart and Maximilian Eggestein, initially moved up to fourth place.
Union Berlin – VfB Stuttgart 1: 1 (1: 0)
Sasa Kalajdzic gave VfB Stuttgart further hope in the relegation battle with a last-minute goal. The Austrian helped the Swabians to an important and flattering point win with his goal in the 90th minute to make it 1-1 (0-1) at 1. FC Union Berlin. Taiwo Awoniyi (41st minute) put the superior Irons in the lead with a hand penalty. But it wasn’t enough to win the 150th game under coach Urs Fischer in front of 16,509 spectators. With the draw, VfB was able to put further pressure on their rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hertha BSC in the relegation battle and left 17th place, at least for the time being. Union thus also missed the symbolic mark of 40 points as the minimum target set by Fischer. The Berliners have 38 points to their credit.
