For the second week in a row, Borussia Dortmund played ahead of Bayern Munich and hoped that her convincing victory over Wolfsburg would startle the champion and lose her points. It almost worked, but Hansie Flick's team also shrugged off stubborn Intrecht Frankfurt. After the two wins the gap at the top remains about four points with seven cycles remaining, so if Dortmund wants to put pressure on Bayern and make her lose points she will have no choice but to do so when she hosts her game this Tuesday at Ziggle Idona Park.  

What is certain is that Dortmund will come up with a huge range of bouts. Tonight, without injured Marco Royce, when Arling Holland couldn't find the net and on the day that Mario came across a message that his contract was not extended and had to look for a team this summer, it was the extremists who brought Lucien Fabre to their seventh straight win. In the first half it was Rafael Guerrero in the second half, Ashraf Hakimi in the second, with a 0: 2 finish.

At that point, as the gap temporarily dropped to a point, Dortmund fantasized that Frankfurt Frankfurt would restore what it did in the first round, then defeating Bayern 1: 5. Eddie Hutter's team did go back from 0: 3 to 2: 3 in the second half with Martin Hinterger's snap, but Hansie Flick's Bayern is not Nico Kovac's dismissed following that match. Thomas Muller again was wonderful with 17 season cooking for Leon Goretzke after which he scored his seventh. Robert Levandowski raised his balance to 27 goals, Alfonso Davies scored 2: 4 and Hinterger's self-scored the final score - 2: 5 and a sixth straight win for the champion.

Borussia Menschengladbach presented her wonderful solution to the empty lots - 13,000 cardboard figures of fans in the stadium stands - but that beauty was also of no avail against Bayern Leverkusen and the fiery Kai Haberz. The young talent scored twice in a 1: 3 victory that put Leverkusen in third place at the expense of Menschengladbach. Monas Dabour returned to play for the first time after three months as he entered the final half-hour encounter with Hoffenheim to Federborn. The Israeli was active and threatened on the goal, but did not prevent a 1: 1 draw and a consecutive eighth game without his team's victory.
