Even after Matchday 23 of the German Bundesliga, FC Bayern are two points ahead of their first rival, RB Leipzig. While the defending champions achieved a smooth 5-1 home win over 1. FC Köln on Saturday, the Saxons celebrated a 3-2 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach after losing 2-0 a few hours later in their own stadium. Wolfsburg consolidated third place with a 2-0 home win over Hertha BSC.
Fifth-placed Dortmund came 3-0 against Bielefeld to three points in the fourth Eintracht Frankfurt. Saša Kalajdžić scored 5-1 in Stuttgart over Schalke and continued his series of goals.
His ÖFB teammate Marcel Sabitzer initially looked like the sure underdog with Leipzig: at halftime they were 0-2 down against team Gladbach after goals from Jonas Hofmann (6th / penalty) and Marcus Thuram (19th) ). Yellow warned that Sabitzer stayed in the booth for half-time, his substitute Alexander Sørloth making it 3-2 for Leipzig in the 93rd minute with a header. Gladbach’s protests that the forward had made a hole in front of Valentino Lázaro with an ineligible hit would have no consequences.
Before that, Christopher Nkunku (57th) and Yussuf Poulsen (66th) met in Leipzig. In Gladbach, in addition to Lazarus, who prepared the goal for Thuram, Hannes Wolf also played. Stefan Lainer was absent due to muscle problems.
Robert Lewandowski was one of the winners of the Bayern match. The world footballer scored two goals for the defending champion (33rd, 65th), and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (18th) and Serge Gnabry (82nd, 86th) scored for the hosts. Ellyes Skhiri’s goal of honor for Colonia (49th) was the result of an error by the two Munich centrals, David Alaba and Jérôme Boateng.
Wolfsburg’s first goal led by Oliver Glasner came from an own goal by Lukas Klünter (37th), the decision brought a goal by Maxence Lacroix (89th). VfL, where Xaver Schlager played until the 92nd minute and Pavao Pervan sat on the bench, consolidated the third place in the table and now has eight clean competitive matches.
Dortmund beat Bielefeld without problems. After a goalless first half, Mahmoud Dahoud (48th), Jadon Sancho (58th / penalty) and Reinier (81st) scored BVB goals against unlikely guests, where Manuel Prietl played the pass and Christian Gebauer was exchanged on 62 .
Kalajdžić fills the dozen
In Stuttgart, Kalajdžić hit in the 34th minute with a remarkable header to make it 3-0 against Schalke, scoring twelve goals in competition this season, eleven of them in the league. The ÖFB team forward, who was substituted in the 86th minute, has always scored in the last five matchdays.
Michael Langer was in goal when Schalke’s rear drivers were beaten, Alessandro Schöpf arrived in the 57th minute. A few hours before kick-off, there were media reports that a player revolt was underway against the coach Schalke’s Christian Gross. The Swiss have, among other things, deficits in terms of tactics and cannot remember the names of the players. According to “Sport1”, he is said to have referred to Schöpf as “Massimo Schüpp”.
