Disturbed but lively evening during the multiplex of the 17th day of the Bundesliga. The clash between Hamburg and Bayern ultimately could not take place: due to heavy snowfall and security problems at the Volksparkstadion, the DFL decided to postpone the match, leaving fans waiting for a new date. On maintained grounds, Mainz did the job at home against Heidenheim (2-1). Urs Fischer’s men quickly took the lead thanks to Silvan Widmer (30th), before Nadiem Amiri made the break after returning from the locker room (48th).
Heidenheim reduced the gap through Simon Schimmer (60th), without managing to equalize despite a more enterprising end to the match. In Dortmund, Borussia delivered a solid performance to largely dominate Werder Bremen (3-0). Nico Schlotterbeck launched his team in the 11th minute, before Dortmund made the difference in the second half through Marcel Sabitzer (75th) then Serhou Guirassy (83rd). A clear success which allows BVB to confirm its rise in power and to remain well placed in the race for European places.
