As a preamble to the confrontation between RB Leipzig and Borussia M’Gladbach, five matches were to be followed this Saturday on the 22nd day of the Bundesliga. Executioner of Bayern Munich last weekend, Bayer Leverkusen had the opportunity to further widen the gap at the top of the standings in the event of a favorable result in Heidenheim. Long held by the promoted, the B04 made the difference thanks to the achievements of Frimpong and the Frenchman Adli. The reduction in Pieringer’s score at the end of the game will not change the final score (2-1). Traveling to the bottom of the field, Stuttgart held on to win (2-0), after being reduced to ten against eleven before the break.
