With a happy 1-0 (1-0) win, Bayern defended their lead in the Bundesliga table at FC Augsburg.
After the Leipzig victory in the parallel game, the record champions are still four points ahead of the second in the table.
A penalty from Robert Lewandowski (13th minute) was enough in Augsburg;
Rani Khedira had previously fouled the advanced Lucas Hernández.
As a result, Bayern failed to expand their lead.
Serge Gnabry and Thomas Müller failed together (24th), but were not punished.
Augsburg remained largely harmless and was primarily concerned not to concede another goal.
In the closing stages, Augsburg suddenly became more dangerous and was awarded a penalty.
Alfred Finnbogason shot against the post (76th).
Arminia Bielefeld scored an important and surprisingly clear victory in the relegation battle.
In a 3-0 (1-0) win against VfB Stuttgart, Fabian Klos took the lead for the newly promoted team (27th).
Jacob Laursen had previously played the ball across the penalty area, Stuttgart goalkeeper Gregor Kobel had not come close.
Sasa Kalajdzic had previously given the best chance in Stuttgart (16th).
The second goal conceded by Stuttgart followed a curious defensive work.
First Borna Sosa did not hit the ball on his own penalty area, then Marc-Oliver Kempf steered the half-high cross from Ritsu Doan into his own goal (47th).
Doan himself achieved the final score (86th).
The victory is all the more important for Bielefeld because Cologne had previously won against Schalke and the gap of two points on the relegation place could be kept.
From the first direct relegation place, the Arminia now separate ten points.
Freiburg had won five games in a row by last weekend.
After losing to Bayern, Christian Streich's team had to be content with one point against Eintracht Frankfurt.
In the 2: 2 (1: 1) against Eintracht Frankfurt, Freiburg turned the game in the meantime.
Amin Younes brought Eintracht into the lead with a flick from the edge of the penalty area (6th).
Florian Müller, who had already shown strong saves against Bayern, initially prevented further hits.
It was up front for Roland Sallai from Freiburg who scored the 1-1.
With a remarkable lob, he brought the ball over Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp into the goal (32nd).
In the second round, Nils Petersen scored from the turn, also worth seeing for the Freiburg leadership.
Frankfurt's Luka Jovic, who came on as a substitute for the comeback at the weekend and scored twice, was again initially on the bench.
After coming on as a substitute, he didn't score this time, instead Freiburg's Keven Schlotterbeck unluckily steered a cross into his own goal (75th).
For a long time, Christopher Nkunku had the best chance in the 1-0 (0-0) victory of RB Leipzig in the east duel against Union Berlin.
The Frenchman was almost strangely vacant in the Berlin penalty area after a pass from Alexander Sörloth.
In front of goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, however, he shot the ball from around ten meters over the goal (38th).
The lawn had apparently played its part in the miss.
In the second half, both teams had a tough attack.
Until Leipzig's Dani Olmo felt in front of the Berlin penalty area to Emil Forsberg, who met from the turn to victory.
Union could have jumped to a Champions League spot with a win.
After the win against Leverkusen last Friday, the promoted team missed the next coup against a top team.
