Night of many Bundesliga games, with new additions to the front trio. While Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern München remain in the same positions, as a result of two victories, Stuttgart took advantage of RB Leipzig’s slip-up, at Werder Bremen’s home, to assault third place in the table. On the other hand, note Union Berlin’s home triumph, which took the capital’s team out of the last places.

At the top, Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen defeated Bochum at home. An unequivocal and indisputable victory, with Patrik Schick, Czech international, being the main highlight. The striker scored a hat-trick – as many as he had scored so far – in the first half (30′, 32′ and 45+1′) and definitively dashed the aspirations of the opponent, who had Gonçalo Paciência in the eleven. In the second half, his substitute, Victor Boniface (69′), also scored a point and sealed the final 4-0. Bayer is ranked first, with 42 points, followed by Bayern München (one game less), which has 38.

The Bavarians went to Wolfsburg’s ground and won by the smallest margin. Thomas Müller was in evidence in the assist section, as he assisted Musiala (33′) and Harry Kane (43′) – what a great goal from the Englishman – to give an apparently calm and deserved advantage. However, before the break, Arnold (45+1′) reduced the score, but the visiting team were unable to equalize or reverse the result.

Stuttgart didn’t make it easy either. They received and beat Augsburg 3-0, with the Undav-Guirassy duo doing damage… once again. The German opened the scoring in the 18th minute and assisted the other scorer – this one much more impressive – Guirassy, ​​who scored the 19th goal in 16 matches. In the second 45 minutes, Furhrich made it 3-0 and closed a score that put the Bundesliga’s main surprise back on the winning track and in third place (34 points), overtaking RB Leipzig.

Also noteworthy is Union Berlin. Having had a difficult and painful season, Union got the better of FC Köln thanks to goals from Hollerbach (55′) and Fofana (78′). He thus rose to 15th place, reaching 13 points.

Finally, Freiburg’s surprising and crazy defeat at Heidenheim’s home (2-3) allowed Frankfurt, also with a spectacular turnaround in stoppage time, to climb to sixth place, with 24 points. The Portuguese Buta scored the first, at 90+1′, and Koch made it 2-1 at 90+7′, to the delight of the local fans. Wober, scorer of Gladbach’s goal at 27′, ended up being sent off (88′) due to accumulation of yellow cards.
