 Borussia Dortmund with another nervy game, this time against Hertha Berlin. Marco Reus scored a last minute winner as Dortmund took all 3 points with a 3-2 win.

Borussia Dortmund scraped a tight win against Hertha Berlin in Berlin. Dortmund have not been at their best since the second half of the season started but at this point, it’s just important they keep collecting wins to keep pace with Bayern Munich. Marco Reus, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Thomas Delaney were the goal scorers for Dortmund, while Jadon Sancho picked up 2 more assists. Sancho is leading the Bundesliga with 12 assists.

Borussia Monchengladbach and Freiburg kicked off match day 26 with the Friday game, playing to a 1-1 draw. Vincenzo Grifo put Freiburg up 1-0 in the 10th minute, former Dortmund player Pascal Stenzel provided the assist. It wasn’t long before Alassane Plea equalized for Gladbach in the 16th minute. Thorgan Hazard, someone linked heavily with Dortmund in recent months, got the assist on Plea’s goal.

Bayern Munich steamrolled Mainz 6-0, making it back to back 6-0 wins in the Bundesliga. Bayern aren’t showing any signs of slipping up and it seems more and more likely that the title will be decided in the dead to head battle on Match day 28. Hoffenheim and Stuttgart finished in a 1-1 draw, Hoffenheim were unlucky to come away with only one point after dominating the possession and chances. Andrej Kramaric found the back of the net once again for Hoffenheim making it 3 goals in his last two games.

Hannover fell to Augsburg, 3-1 after jumping out to an early 1-0 lead. Augsburg rallied in the second half, scoring 3 unanswered goals in 20 minutes. Schalke lost once again as their terrible season continues. Leipzig beat Schalke 1-0 through an early goal from Timo Werner. To round out the Saturday games, Wolfsburg thumped Düsseldorf with a star performance from Wout Weghorst who scored 3 and assisted 2, having a hand in all five goals in the 5-2 win.

Bayer Leverkusen lost 3-1 to Werder Bremen even though they dominated possession with 71%. Max Kruse put Bremen ahead in the 13th minute and Leverkusen were chasing the game from there on out. Kruse would add a second goal in the 90th minute and got the assist for Bremen’s second goal, having a hand in all three of their tallies. Eintracht Frankfurt took home all 3 points in a 1-0 win over Nürnberg with a goal from center-back Martin Hinteregger.
