Leverkusen hosted a prepared Mainz side and lost another home game, albeit only by one goal. Borussia Dortmund handily defeated Nuernberg 3-0. Although scoreless after one half, Dortmund came back in the second half with goals by Matt Hummels (51st), Robert Lewandowski (64th) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (83rd minute). After a successful Champions League match against St. Petersburg (4-2), Dortmund repeated that triumph and has now moved ahead of Leverkusen into second spot.
Berlin and Freiburg battled to a scoreless draw on Friday evening and Berlin lost valuable two points in the quest for a European spot. Freiburg has accumulated five away games without a goal, a new club record. Despite a better performance by Freiburg compared to last weekend, Freiburg remains in the second last spot of the league. While Berlin pressed the issue early, the old dame was unable to complete the attacks to gain any advantage. Freiburg did not stand back and had its own opportunities, but like their opponent was unable to get the necessary result.
Borussia Moenchengladbach had to settle for a 1-1 draw in Braunschweig and has dropped five points behind a coveted Champions League spot. Bremen defeated Hamburg in the northern derby, moving Bremen into 11th spot, Hamburg occupies the relegation qualifying spot. Augsburg and Hannover shared one goal a piece, leaving Augsburg in a position to challenge for a Euro League spot. For Hannover that goal is all but lost.
In Sunday's action Hoffenheim demolished VFL Wolfsburg 6-2, with goals by Niklas Suele (37th), Anthony Modeste (39th and 43rd) for a 3-0 half time lead. Ivan Perisic pulled one back for Wolfsburg, but Hoffenheim go two more and Shipplock converted a penalty kick to finish the scoring spree. Hoffenheim has had five consecutive wins, while Wolfsburg's winning streak of four was ended. Hoffenheim finishes the weekend in tenth place, while Wolfsburg is in fifth, two points behind Schalke. The late Sunday match saw Eintracht Frankfurt come back from a 1-0 deficit to win the game 2-1 over VFB Stuttgart. Martin Harnik put Stuttgart on the scoreboard in the 37th minute, Frankfurt scored two in the second half Frankfurt's Jahn Rosental tied in the 80th minute and Meier's low shot in the 89th secured the win for the Eagles. Frankfurt moved into 13th spot, with some breathing space from the relegation zone, while Stuttgart struggles in 15th spot with just 19 points for its efforts.
