After Bayern Munich’s 3-0 success yesterday against Hoffenheim, the 17th day of the Bundesliga continued this afternoon with the Bavarians’ title competitor, Bayer Leverkusen. Deprived of Victor Boniface for several weeks, Xavi Alonso’s men snatched a precious victory on the Augsburg pitch 1-0. They can thank Palacios, the only scorer of the match in the 90th + 4 and regain a 4 point lead over the outgoing champion.
