Today, five matches of the 27th round of the "Bundesliga" were played.
The defending champion and current leader in the league standings, Munich's "Bayern", won away against "Koln". Pep Guardiola's players, as usual, dominated in terms of ball control, but the victory was guaranteed by the lone goal from Roberto Lewandowski.
A superb strike from the Polish player from outside the penalty area gave the Bavarians a lead against Dortmund's "Borussia", at least until tomorrow, increasing their advantage to eight points.
Yesterday, the victory of Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" was not allowed to be approached by Berlin's "Hertha" players, as they defeated "Ingolstadt" after a fierce battle in the capital of Germany.
The hosts were brought forward in the 54th minute by Genki Haraguchi, and another 15 minutes later Salomon Kalou scored. However, the Berlin team still had to withstand the visitors' attempts to get back into the game, as after Lukas Hinterseer's accurate strike, they still had hope.
Having secured three points, "Hertha" is now four points clear of fourth place.
Meanwhile, the recently qualified for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, "Wolfsburg", continues to struggle in the national championship - Dieter Hecking's players could only draw at home against "Darmstadt".
Indeed, the hosts can be happy with the earned points, as they were only saved by Andre Schurrle at the end of the match. Sandro Wagner, who scored in the 83rd minute, had brought them ahead.
Results:
"Koln" 0 - 1 "Bayern"
"Hamburg" 1 - 3 "Hoffenheim"
"Hertha" 2 - 1 "Ingolstadt"
