RB Leipzig reaches for the top: Bayern under pressure before the home game!

In the current round of the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig has temporarily taken the lead in the table. With a confident 2-0 win over FSV Mainz 05, coach Marco Rose's team was able to overtake FC Bayern Munich. Already in the first half, Xavi in ​​the 20th minute and Willi Orban in the 37th minute scored the goals that secured the deserved final score. But FC Bayern has the chance to strike back: with a win in the evening game against VfB Stuttgart, Munich could overtake Leipzig again.

Things got hot in an exciting encounter between Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt. Leverkusen won 2-1, but the game was marked by two controversial penalties that were awarded based on video evidence. While Bayer striker Victor Boniface was denied by Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp in the 9th minute, Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush skillfully converted a penalty in the 16th minute. Nevertheless, Leverkusen turned the game around in the second half: Robert Andrich equalized in the 25th minute and Boniface scored the winning goal in the 72nd minute. This success secures Bayer a stable place in the top half of the table for the time being.

Hoffenheim remains on the rise

1. FC Mönchengladbach celebrated an important 3-2 win against 1. FC Heidenheim and thus gained important points in the relegation battle.

With this victory, coach Gerardo Seoane, who has recently been heavily criticized, can breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, VfL Bochum remains winless and finds itself at the bottom of the table. There was a 1:3 defeat at TSG Hoffenheim. The missed opportunity in the 89th minute was particularly painful when Lukas Daschner was unable to convert a penalty and was denied by keeper Oliver Baumann.
