Summary: Schalke - Borussia Dortmund 2:2 (Sport1)
The 25th round in the Bundesliga continued tonight (Saturday) with five more games with the focus: Borussia Dortmund will try to return to victory against Cologne.
Davor was sent off 2 minutes after coming off the bench with a straight red in Hoffenheim's win, Leipzig lost to Bochum and may lose their place in the top four.
A bitter victory.

Hoffenheim - Hertha Berlin 1:3
In a heated bottom battle, Mons Davor and his team hosted Hertha in an attempt to finally get their first win after 14 rounds, the last of which was against Schalke in the league in October, and immediately after that in the cup.
With this dismal balance, the host saw Andrej Krameric score a pair from the penalty spot (24 and 37) and Ikhlas Bebo score the third (51) in an impressive solo performance.
In the 69th minute, the Israeli striker came off the bench, and two minutes later was sent off after a sharp tackle.
It was the first straight red in Davor's career and the second in total after a second yellow was drawn against him in Gershofer's uniform in May 2017. With the numerical disadvantage in the last minutes, Stevan Jovtich (90+3) had time to shrink, but the host eventually won and rose above the red line.

Bochum - RB Leipzig 0:1
Leipzig are still licking their wounds after the seven they took from Manchester City and Holland's five and already on Saturday they have a critical game in which a loss may take them out of the top 4. Precisely against the bottom team that in the last round recorded their first win after four consecutive rounds with 0:2 against F. C.
Cologne, the bulls struggled against Bochum.
In the 49th minute, Arhan Masovic surprised Leipzig with a shot into the net by Yannis Blasovic.
The visitor made attacking substitutions and tried to find the equalizer in the remaining minutes, but Bochum was left with three precious points, while Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund could escape to Leipzig, who may lose their place in the top 4 later in the cycle.
A lot of responsibility on him in the absence of the injured.

Borussia Dortmund - FC Cologne (Saturday, 19:30)
Dortmund's perfect streak since the World Cup break was interrupted with a 2:0 loss to Chelsea and elimination from the Champions League and it continued with the 2:2 derby against Schalke in the previous round.
That stumble took the Black and Yellows two points clear of leaders Bayern, but a win would at least temporarily put them back at the top.
This time Dortmund get a more comfortable opponent at home, but again have to overcome the lack of key players in attack such as the injured Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi and Yussupe Mukoku, with Sebastian Haller still missing since his return.
