📹 Leaders cruise, Leverkusen shine and more Bundesliga action | OneFootball

After Dortmund versus Mainz, which opened the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Saturday (14th) began with the traditional five simultaneous matches.

There were several comfortable victories, including a special milestone for a top scorer and the end of a long drought.

But there was also a comeback from a team fighting against relegation.

Check out below the highlights and best moments from the matches.

Frankfurt 3 x 0 Mönchengladbach

This was only the sixth time this season – across all competitions – that Eintracht Frankfurt kept a clean sheet.

The victory over Gladbach came with goals from Brown (24'), Amaimouni (34'), and Knauff (75').

Ending a nine-game winless streak. Or two months without celebrating. 

Eintracht reached 31 points and is now in seventh place. They left their rival with 22 points, in 12th place. 

Hamburg 3 x 2 Union Berlin

Playing in front of their fans at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg achieved a great result.

Union took the lead with Querfeld converting a penalty (28').

But Konigsdorffer (35') and Capaldo (47') secured the comeback still in the first half.

Konigsdorffer (82') extended the lead in the second half. 

The capital team didn't give up and scored with Ilic (89'), but the victory belonged to the Dinosaurs.

Hamburg reached 25 points, opening a six-point gap to the current 16th place.

They surpassed, for example, Union itself due to a superior goal difference.

Leverkusen 4 x 0 St. Pauli

Quansah (13'), Schick (14'), Tapsoba (52'), and Poku (78') secured Leverkusen's comfortable victory.

St. Pauli was aggressive when they had the ball. But they didn't manage a single shot on target against Blaswich. 

The German champion in 2023/2024 reached 39 points, surpassing Leipzig and Stuttgart – who are yet to play. They are currently in fourth place.

St. Pauli remains with 17 points and in second-to-last place.

Hoffenheim 3 x 0 Freiburg

Hoffenheim bounced back from defeat in the last round with an authoritative win.

The dominance was clear from the start. But the goals only came in the second half thanks to Asllani (46'), Kabak (51'), and Gendrey (95').

Hoffe reached 45 points and remains solid in third. Freiburg was left with 30 points and in eighth place. 

Werder Bremen 0 x 3 Bayern

Dortmund was three points behind after beating Mainz on Friday.

But Bayern regained a comfortable lead at the top by winning away from home, with Kane reaching 500 career goals. 

Kane opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after Lynen's penalty on Karl.

Which was only confirmed via VAR after he celebrated in the middle of the rival defense. 

And the Englishman's 500th goal came three minutes later. With freedom and precision. 

Bayern returned for the second half without Neuer in goal – there was no confirmation of a possible injury. 

Bremen even tried to react. And Urbig had to work.

But it was Kompany's team who extended the lead.

Soon after coming off the bench, Musiala and Davies combined for Goretzka's goal (70').

Leaders Bayern reached 57 points. Werder remained with 19 and in the position to play the playoff against the third-placed team from the 2.Bundesliga.
