Schlar’s place at the tip of Leverkusen’s attack was taken over by Alario, who also represented the author of 20 Bundesliga goals. The Argentine forward got to the rebound after half an hour of play in the lime and finished close. After a break, he added two Diaby hits and Bayer partially rectified the hesitation from the last round against Mainz.
Bielefeld dropped to 14th place. Leverkusen consolidated third place, four points ahead of Freiburg, who had dealt with Hertha. Grifo opened the scoring in the 12th minute and Schade and Höler added another shot in the end. Hertha is 15th, having scored just two points in the last seven duels.
Bayern created pressure and a number of chances in the match with Frankfurt, but did not succeed until the 71st minute. Kimmich sent a vertical into the escape of Sane and the German representative decided with a cross shot. The defending champions thus matured into an unpopular opponent with whom he lost both matches last year.
Mönchengladbach suffered a six-goal debacle a week ago in Dortmund and lost this time again in a duel of neighbors at the table with Wolfsburg. At least a point was scored by Borussia in the 82nd minute substituting Embolo, whose team is thirteenth by one point behind the “Wolves”.
