In the Bundesliga, before the winter break, the gap between the first and second place in the standings is growing. "Bayern" defeated "Mainz" 2:1 at home, while Dortmund's "Borussia" failed to beat "Bochum" away - 1:1. "Bayern" conceded their first goal in the match, already in the 22nd minute. However, precise strikes from Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman in the second half expanded the victory for the "Bavarians" in the 15th round. "Borussia" managed to equalize away against "Bochum". BVB also conceded first, but at least managed to secure a point in the 85th minute after Juliano Brandt's goal. In the neighbor duel of the table, "Hoffenheim" defeated "Freiburg" 2:1 away and climbed to 4th place, while Monchengladbach's "Borussia" continues to show poor form - losing 1:4 away to the "RB Leipzig" team led by new coach Domenico Tedesco.
