All eyes were on Der Klassiker, but Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich settled for a 1-1 draw, giving the chasing pack an opportunity to close the gap on the Bavarians. The showdown at Signal Iduna Park saw goals from Gittens and Musiala, with the result particularly frustrating for Dortmund. The hosts took the lead in the 27th minute through Gittens but were denied all three points when Musiala equalized in the 85th minute. For Sahin’s Dortmund, the late equalizer was a bitter pill to swallow, leaving them 10 points adrift of Kompany’s league-leading Bayern, who remain firmly at the top of the Bundesliga.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen took full advantage of the draw. Frankfurt continued their impressive form, securing a fourth consecutive league win with a commanding 4-0 victory away to Heidenheim. They now sit just four points behind Bayern. Meanwhile, defending champions Bayer Leverkusen claimed a 2-1 away win over Union Berlin, with goals from Frimpong and Schick. Leverkusen cut Bayern’s lead to six points.
Leipzig’s struggles continued, suffering a humiliating 5-1 home defeat to Wolfsburg, marking their third loss in four matches under Marco Rose.
