This Saturday at 3:30 p.m., the traditional afternoon multiplex took place in the Bundesliga. Strong runner-up to Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund hosted Bayer Leverkusen, who needed points to stay in the race for the Champions League. Obliged to achieve success, the Werkself held back in the first period and Loïc Badé stood out with a valuable save on his line (17th). Finally, on one of their only opportunities in the first act, the B04 took the lead thanks to a long shot from Robert Andrich (0-1, 42nd). In the second half, Dortmund tried to equalize but, like Guirassy who was sometimes imprecise (58th) sometimes unlucky with the post (83rd), did not manage to grab a point in front of his audience. With this success, Bayer Leverkusen passes Hoffenheim and remains in contact with Stuttgart and Leipzig.
At the same time, Leipzig won against Hoffenheim. Dominant throughout the match, Ole Werner’s men managed to pocket the victory at the end of the match thanks to prodigy Yan Diomandé (1-0, 81st). A success which allows them to secure their third place in the ranking. In the race to remain, this afternoon was full of lessons. In great difficulty this season, Wolfsburg did not reassure with a defeat recorded in 11 minutes with two goals conceded in the first period against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-2). With this setback, the 18th of their season, Mohamed Amoura’s teammates remain 17th and leave Sankt Pauli four units ahead in the standings. Worse still, Heidenheim, bottom of the table, came within two points with its afternoon feast against Union Berlin. Quickly in front thanks to a double from Honsak, Heidenheim did not panic with the reduction of the gap from the capital club and added another goal to offer themselves a resounding success (4-1).
