A Mario Mandzukic moved Bayern into the lead just before the halftime whistle. Bastian Schweinsteiger made it 2-0 in the second half before Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling narrowed the gap at the 90 minute Mark.
Dortmund gave away three points at home to Moenchengladbach with a 1-2 loss. Hoffenheim gave up a 2-0 lead when Mainz scored four unanswered goals to win the match 4-2. Goals from Eugen Polanski and Roberto Firmino didn't assure a victory for Hoffenheim when Maxim Choupo-Moting, Benjamin Saller and Shinji Okazaki secured the victory for Mainz. The win moved Mainz into fifth spot only three points behind Leverkusen.
On Friday Schalke 04 walked away with three important points that moved the Royal Blues into third spot in league. Failing a disaster in Munich when Bayern and Leverkusen meet Schalke should retain that spot. Despite a terrible performance by Schalke's defence in the first half and Augsburg's constant pressure, Schalke came out on top with a 2-1 victory. Although Augsburg took the lead early on, with its methodical approach and could have had a few more goals, the side seemed demoralized after Klass van Huntelaar got the equalizer in the 32nd minute. In the second half it was all Schalke and Huntelaar scored the go ahead goal four minutes into the second half. Despite Augsburg's pressure near the end the side could never get the equalizer. The loss could ruin Augsburg chances for a Euro League spot.
Stuttgart continued its 10 game winless streak with a 1-1 draw in Bremen. The Schwaben missed a penalty kick for the second time in as many games. Berlin dropped three points at home, losing 0-3 against Hannover. Hertha remains in ninth spot with a significant cushion of seven points over 10th placed Hoffenheim.
Eintracht Braunschweig edged a draw against sixth placed VFL Wolfsburg. The relegation battle may last until the last matchday again. In Sunday's matches, Hamburg defeated Nuernberg 2-1. Eintracht Frankfurt gave up three home pitch points against SC Freiburg. Freiburg's 4-1 victory moved the club to the relegation play off spot. The Bundesliga is never boring, nine goals produced 28 goals.
