On Sunday, the chances of staying in the strongest division in Germany were almost completely "buried" by the league's outsiders "Gladbach", this time losing 0-1 away to "Hannover" eleven. It is worth noting that more than half (10 out of 17) of "Gladbach's" lost matches ended with a minimal advantage for the opponents.
The hero of the Sunday match was A. Bruggink, who scored the only goal of the match after playing for about half an hour. The victory for "Hannover" allowed them to slightly pull away from the dangerous zone, while "Gladbach's" position became undesirable - falling behind by eight points from a safe position, and furthermore, matches against "Bayern" and "Stuttgart" are still ahead for the league's outsiders.
In the next match, things went a little better for the second-to-last placed "Mainz" club, which played 2-2 away against "Hamburg." The visitors could have taken all three points, but they failed to maintain their lead - in the 82nd minute, J.P. Guerrero, who came on as a substitute, saved "Hamburg" from defeat by scoring the equalizing goal from a close distance after a corner kick.
