FC Bayern Munich only drew this weekend in Nuremberg thanks to a mistake of keeper Manuel Neuer who let Markus Feulner´s distance shot slip through for the 1-1 equalizer. FCB however managed to even increase their lead by one point as second placed Schalke 04 lost the match in Leverkusen with 0-2.

Third and fourth placed Eintracht Frankfurt and Dortmund both won their match getting closer to Bayern but still being way behind. Frankfurt defeated FC Augsburg 4-2 in an intense match with Alexander Meier scoring twice while Dortmund only needed the first half and a very strong playing Mario Goetze (1 goal, 1 assist) to finish Augsburg off with 3-1. BVB are nine points shy of Bayern now, Frankfurt and Schalke eight points, fifth placed Leverkusen ten.

Allofs´ old and new club winning

Klaus Allofs changed his employer under the week after 13 years in duty of Werder Bremen. The new manager of the sport department in Wolfsburg was able to celebrate the first victory with his new club as the old one won, too. VFL defeated TSG 1899 Hoffenheim with 3-1 and Bremen turned the match around against Fortuna Duesseldorf after being 0-1 behind, winning 2-1. Both matches were on Sunday.

Hamburger SV more or less luckily won a pretty ugly and uneventful match against Mainz 05 on Saturday with 1-0 thanks to a goal from Son in minute 63. Borussia Moenchengladbach on Hanover 96 both lost their home games against VFB Stuttgart and respectively SC Freiburg with 1-2.
