FC Bayern: Four goals and still trembling
League leader FC Bayern Munich fulfilled its duty on the 20th matchday of the German Bundesliga, but had to tremble briefly at the end.

The record champions won 4-0 at home against Holstein Kiel after leading 4-3 and extended their lead over defending champions Bayer Leverkusen to nine points. The double winners from the previous season will only play at home against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Sunday.
Jamal Musiala took advantage of Bayern's first good chance to take the lead in the 17th minute. Harry Kane (45th+3/46th) increased the lead directly before and after half-time after Kiel had missed good opportunities. Serge Gnabry (54th) scored the 4-0 for Bayern. But Finn Porath (62nd) and Steven Skrzybski (90th+1/90th+3) brought promoted Kiel closer.
3-point farewell at BVB
Borussia Dortmund won the last game under the direction of interim coach Mike Tullberg 2:1 against 1. FC Heidenheim, with the new head coach Niko Kovac now taking over for the Dane Tullberg. BVB could once again rely on striker Serhou Guirassy (33') in Heidenheim, and Mathias Honsak (2') reduced the deficit after substitute Maximilian Beier had made it 0:63 (64'). Dortmund didn't allow any more.Gladbach celebrated in Stuttgart. © APA/afp / THOMAS KIENZLE
Vice-champion VfB Stuttgart suffered a setback in the race for the European Cup places, losing 1-2 at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach. In the relegation battle, apart from Kiel and Heidenheim, VfL Bochum also lost 0-1 to SC Freiburg. FC St. Pauli missed out on an important victory with a 1-1 draw against FC Augsburg.
No winner in the Eastern duel, but a perceived loser: After the embarrassing performance in the farewell from the Champions League, RB Leipzig could not get beyond a 1:0 draw in the evening match against the relegation-threatened 0. FC Union Berlin.
No announcements from the referees yet
Neither in Hamburg nor in Munich, nor previously in the second division match in Düsseldorf, did the referees have to explain decisions to spectators over a microphone. This weekend, the test begins, in which the referees in the stadium will announce their verdict after viewing video images.SP | G | U | V | TV | P | |
