The ball just ran through the rows before it was Thomas Müller’s turn at the end of the chain. The FC Bayern Munich player, who had been the subject of so much discussion in the past few weeks and days, shot the ball loosely and easily with the inside to make it 1-0. The home game of Munich against FC Schalke 04 had the appearance of a training game. The match ended 6-0 (2-0), bringing Munich closer to the eleventh German championship in a row and FC Schalke 04 a little closer to the second division. The other goals for FC Bayern were scored by Joshua Kimmich, twice by Serge Gnabry, Mathys Tel and Noussair Mazraoui.
In East Berlin, at 1. FC Union, the game had no training character. But it was clear at first. The Unioner already led at half-time with 3:0 goals in the top game against SC Freiburg. Above all, attacker Sheraldo Becker could not be slowed down by the Freiburg team. He scored twice, his strike partner Kevin Behrens scored the first goal of the game.
In the end it got exciting again. Freiburg came through through Manuel Gulde and Vincenzo Grifo. Aissa Laidouni then made everything clear for Union. With the win, the Köpenickers have been unbeaten for 22 home games across the seasons. In the table, the home strength is initially reflected in third place. Leipzig can overtake 1. FC Union on Sunday.
VfL Bochum was able to achieve an important victory at the bottom of the table. With the 3:2 (1:1) against FC Augsburg, the club is on a non-relegation zone. In addition, only one point separates Bochum from TSG Hoffenheim, who lost 1: 2 (0: 1) in Wolfsburg. The Hessians won the Rhein-Main derby between Frankfurt and Mainz 3-0. (tsp)
