Surprising Results

Borussia Dortmund 1:0 Werder

Just as I thought Bremen were finally getting consistent, they decided to prove me wrong again!

Bremen lost to Dortmund and a sole Alex Frei penalty was enough to see them off. Dortmund didn’t draw the game which was even more surprising!

This was Dortmund’s first win this year.

 

Borussia Moenchengladbach 0:1 VfL Bochum

Borussia had impressed me this year with their wins over Koeln and Hamburg, but they couldn’t hold it together against Bochum.

I had thought another victory was in the cards for Gladbach—but this is the Bundesliga, and I was proved wrong as usual. A Denis Grote goal was enough for Bochum to take three points, leaving Gladbach in the relegation zone.

 

Hoffenheim 2:2 Hanover

Forget the Champions League—it’s all about trying to qualify for Europe at the moment for the Hoff. They are in freefall after the winter break and can be deemed as Dortmund’s twin brother. They, just like Dortmund, are not losing and are not winning but are drawing. Hoff took the lead via a Selim Teber penalty but the lead lasted just two minutes thanks to an equalizer from seven metres from Hanno Balitsch.

In the second half, an Arnold Bruggink freekick found Mario Eggiman in the box who duly headed it in. However towards the dying minutes, Wellington found the back of the net to give Hoffenheim a point.

 

Bayer Leverkusen 1:1 Eintracht

Bayer’s hopes for European competition are seemingly coming to an end. Eintracht took the lead through Alex Meier but Bayer rescued a point via Michael Kadlec following a Barnetta corner.

 

Table-Topping Results

Arminia Bielefeld 0:3 Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg had Diego Benaglio to thank after the keeper made some wonderful saves from the Arminen. The game was definitely not as one-sided as the scoreline suggests.
