Bundesliga champions ended their losing streak © EuroFootball.com

On Sunday, two matches were played in the Bundesliga, which concluded the 21st round. Defending champions "Bayern" returned to the path of victories, securing their first win of the year.

It was also the first victory for the club under the guidance of new coach Ottmar Hitzfeld. The victory with a minimal result against "Arminia" was guaranteed by the only goal of the match at the beginning - after a long pass from Lucio, R.Makaay scored by beating the goalkeeper, marking his eleventh goal of the season. Even after securing the victory, "Bayern's" chances to defend the title remain slim - they are eleven points behind the leaders "Schalke".

In the evening's other match, the rejuvenated "Nurnberg" club snatched a fantastic victory after the winter break, defeating the league's bottom team "Bochum" away in the very end of the match. The outcome of the match was determined by two goals from I.Saenko in the last five minutes of the game.
