Two meetings on Sunday to be played in the German Bundesliga - the country's champion "Bayern" played a draw at home with "Werder" and missed the opportunity to reduce the gap from the leader "Schalke" who stumbled on Saturday, while the "Hamburger" and "Bayer" match ended peacefully.
"Bayern", inspired by the victory this week against Madrid's "Real" in the Champions League, started the match aggressively and already in the seventh minute, after a precise pass from Marko van Bommel, Lukas Podolski beat the 'Werder' goalkeeper.
The hosts of the "Allianz Arena" dominated the match, but did not take advantage of numerous opportunities, and in the middle of the second half they were punished when Portuguese Hugo Almeida passed the ball over Oliver Kahn and 'Werder' newcomer Markus Rosenberg secured the equalizer with an additional head touch, allowing the guests from Munich to take a point.
In another match at the edge of relegation, "Hamburger" at home met Leverkusen's "Bayer". The Dutch legionnaire Rafael van der Vaart had a 100% chance to secure the victory for the hosts in the 70th minute, but he missed the penalty kick from 11 meters and the "Hamburger" four-game winning streak was broken.
Sunday's 25th round match results:
"Hamburger" 0 - 0 "Bayer"
"Bayern" 1 - 1 "Werder" 7' [1 - 0] Lukas Podolski 66' [1 - 1] Markus Rosenberg"
