On Saturday, seven matches were played in the German national championship. After them, the team of Munich "Bayern" became the sole leaders of the league.
This round was particularly unsuccessful for the "Schalke" club. The Gelsenkirchen team lost 0-3 to the "Stuttgart" club. The hero of the match was K. Kuranyi, who scored three goals and achieved a "hat-trick".
Meanwhile, the "Bayern" players took advantage of the competitors' defeat, won the game, and became the sole leaders of the Bundesliga. The Munich team defeated "Gladbach" 2-1 at home. The winning goal was scored by M. Ballack in the 84th minute.
An extremely important victory in order to stay in the Bundesliga was achieved by the players of "Bochum". They won at home with a minimal result against the guests from Hanover. The only goal of the match was scored by S. Cherundolo. After the victory, the "Bochum" team reduced the gap to two points to the fifteenth place, which guarantees survival in the league.
The "Bayer" team suffered a second consecutive defeat. Due to their extremely poor performance in the most important matches of the season, the club receiving the nickname "Neverkuseno" had to recognize the superiority of "Borussia". The only and decisive goal of the match was scored by S. Kehl in the 88th minute.
The defending champions of the Bundesliga, the "Werder" club, won 1-2 against the "Hamburger" team on the road.
