Borussia Mönchengladbach also won 5-0 thanks to a goal from Hannes Wolf at Elversberg. Surprisingly, however, the end of 1899 Hoffenheim and Union Berlin came.

Leipzig’s success was never in jeopardy, ÖFB team player Marcel Sabitzer played through offense. On the other hand, forward Michael Gregoritsch was never able to act himself. Mönchengladbach had even less trouble with fourth-division Elversberg, Wolf started the scoring in the fifth minute after a quick counterattack from the guests. For Styrian, 21, it was the third goal in a competitive game this season. His compatriot Stefan Lainer was replaced during the break, Valentino Lazaro did not have time to play.

Borussia Dortmund also had no problems with their 2-0 win at Eintracht Braunschweig. A rare sense of accomplishment – in the league there are 29 games without a win – there was for Schalke 04. In the last game with interim coach Huub Stevens, SSV Ulm of the fourth division was beaten 3-1. At the end of a completely messy year, Suat Serdar (27th) and twice Benito Raman (51st, 63rd) achieved only the fourth competitive victory in 2020. Alessandro Schöpf played the full 90 minutes. 1. FC Köln also fixed the raise in a duel with second division VfL Osnabrück, where Lukas Gugganig played, with a 1-0 home win.

The Hoffenheim team had no reason to be happy after the duel with Greuther Fürth. The Bundesliga team lost with Christoph Baumgartner, who was saved from minute 57, but without Florian Grillitsch, who was absent due to an injury to the abdominal muscles area, and Stefan Posch, who was sitting on the bench, a thriller against the second division winger by 6: 7 on penalties. After 90 and 120 minutes it was 2-2. Fürth had victory in mind, received a penalty in injury time, but was later rewarded with a success.

Union Berlin also failed at home 2: 3 to a second division team. Captain Christopher Trimmel was on the field for the losers until the 77th minute.
