On Sunday evening, Leverkusen's Bayer team won an important victory, narrowly defeating the absolute league underdogs Gladbach. After the victory, Bayer rose to fifth place for the first time this season, guaranteeing the right to play in the UEFA Cup matches.
The end result of the match was determined by a somewhat bizarre goal at the very end of the game - after a penalty kick, Gladbach failed to clear the ball further away from the goal, Simon Rolfes passed it to A. Voronin, and his shot rebounded into the visitors' goal. With eight rounds left in the championship, Gladbach is five points away from a safe position.
Mainz team dropped down, failing to resist Werder in an away match on Sunday, who reduced the gap from Schalke to three points after a 2-0 victory. After about an hour of play, J. Vranjes brought Bremen club to the lead, and Diego secured the victory at the end of the match.
