The 10th round, which opened with a goal by Moens Davor and will end with the matches of Bayern and Dortmund on Sunday, continues today (Saturday) in the Bundesliga. In the spotlight, Frankfurt defeated Xavi Alonso’s Leverkusen 5:1 and recovered very quickly from the loss to Tottenham in the Champions League.
Frankfurt – Leverkusen 1:5
Xavi Alonso experienced his first league loss as coach of Bayer Leverkusen. On the verge of the break, a penalty was whistled to Frankfurt’s credit. Lukas Radecki saved a penalty from Randall Kolo Muani but since he left the goal line before the kick with both feet, a rebound was whistled, which Daichi Kamada routed into the net this time. Piero Hincapi (56) managed to equalize to 1:1 in the second half, but the rest was all Eintracht’s.
Kolo Muani (58), John Lindstrom (65), another penalty by Kamada (72) and the substitute Lucas Alario (86, against the former) determined the result of the game. Hincapie was sent off on a second yellow. Following the victory, Frankfurt rose at least temporarily to fourth place. Leverkusen is sunk at the bottom and is ranked 16th, the leader at the end of the season for the tests.
Wolfsburg – Mönchengladbach 2:2
The foals missed an opportunity to join the top group. Marcus Thuram, the hottest striker in the league, scored twice (13 and 48) and raised his tally to seven Bundesliga goals this season. But Yannick Gerhadt (43) and Omar Marmosh (68) balanced Wolfsburg, which rose to 10 points, six less than Gladbach.
In other games: Stuttgart still without a permanent coach defeated the weak Bochum 1:4 while Mainz beat Werder Bremen 0:2.
