Bundesliga Matchday 29: Bayern's undefeated streak stopped by FC Augsburg

FC Augsburg stopped Bayern's undefeated streak and Augsburg is the first team to defeat "Super Bayern this season. How appropriate to have a neighbouring club do it. Pep Guardiola grossly miscalculated Augsburg's ability and as a consequence put three brand new guys on the pitch and left them on. Although he brought on Alaba, Goetze and Mueller shortly into the second frame, he miscalculated Augsburg's fighting spirit.

This is exactly what happened last weekend with Hoffenheim and mid week with ManU. I hope he realizes that ManU can win this with a 1-1 draw or any kind of draw, other than scoreless. Guardiola is no Heynckes. Respect to FCAugsburg for for this performance


Dortmund came from behind to defeat VFL Wolfsburg 2-1, on goals from Robert Lewandowski and Marco Reus.  Dortmund enjoys a three point lead over third place Schalke, while remains one point short of fourth spot behind Leverkusen, which continued its slump  with a 2-1 loss against Hamburg. The HSV moved  up into the relegation play off spot one point ahead of Nuernberg. 

Stuttgart moved up into 15th spot, after defeating Freiburg 2-0.  Both teams are threatend by relegation with Stuttgart even in points with Hamburg, while Freiburg is only two points removed. Eintracht Frankfurt picked up three important points against Mainz 05 and with 35 points has placed a large gap from the relegation zone.   Mainz occupies seventh spot and still has a chance of qualifying for Euro League competition next season. 

Third placed Schalke played to a 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen and has a comfortable seven point lead ahead of Leverkusen.  Bremen has accumulated 33 points and may be able to avoid relegation. 

On Sunday Braunschweig hosts Hannover, while Hoffenheim travels to Berlin.
