In the German football championship, the matches of the sixteenth round ended. On Sunday, the remaining two matches of the round took place, both league leaders "Bayern" and "Werder" clubs won their games, restoring their advantage over other clubs. Defending champions "Bayern" club, in front of their fans, in a packed "Allianz" arena, defeated the absolute league underdogs "Kaiserslautern" 2-1, restoring their lead over "Hamburger" to four points. So, with one round left until the winter break, it became clear that "Bayern" will welcome the new year as leaders of the German championship. It is worth mentioning that in the first half of the season, the Munich club won all home games. In the match on Sunday, the hosts took the lead first when one of the "Bayern" leaders M.Ballack sent the ball into the opponents' goal around the 26th minute. By the way, the German will have to miss the next game due to yellow card limit, so if M.Ballack is sold to another club during the winter transfer window, it could be his last game in "Bayern" colors. After the goal, "Bayern" relaxed a bit and B.Sanogo managed to equalize the score before the end of the first half with about five minutes left to play. After the break, "Bayern" increased the pace of the game and that had a positive result - in the 56th minute, receiving a pass from Ze Roberto, Dutch R.Makaay once again put his team in the lead. Later, "Kaiserslautern" had a chance to equalize from the eleven-meter mark, but "Bayern" goalkeeper O.Kahn once again demonstrated his mastery and saved E.Skelo's shot. In the other match, "Werder" crushed "Koln" 4-1 away and once again confirmed the title of the most productive team in the tournament. After I.Szabics' goal in the 24th minute, "Koln" took the lead, but soon "Werder" woke up and scored four goals without response for the rest of the game. The league's top scorer M.Klose returned after injury and continued to perform superbly, scoring two goals. After this victory, the Bremen team remains in third place in the league, trailing the leading "Bayern" by six points.
