Borussia Dortmund picked up three points against Augsburg as the Bundesliga wrapped up matchday 19 with lots of movement in the table.

Borussia Dortmund were deserved winners against Augsburg as they picked up all three points in their 3-1 win. Augsburg were the first on the scoresheet through, with Andre Hahn scoring early on. But this time Dortmund were able to claw their way back, scoring three unanswered goals to seal the win. Thomas Delaney and Jadon Sancho were the Dortmund goal scorers, while Erling Haaland forced an Augsburg own goal on a strong cross.

Stuttgart opened the weekend with a 2-0 win against Mainz on Friday, with Sasa Kalajdzic and Silas Wamangituka finding the back of the net. It was a pretty even game that saw Stuttgart collect 3 points and keeps Mainz in the relegation zone. Bayern Munich had little trouble with Hoffenheim dismantling them in a 4-1 win. Jerome Boateng, Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry found the back of the net for Bayern. Andre Kramaric pulled one back for Hoffenheim but it wasn’t enough.

Eintracht Frankfurt moved up to 4th place with their 3-1 win over Hertha Berlin and now find themselves in a Champions League position. Andre Silva scored a brace for Frankfurt and Martin Hinteregger added the other. Krzysztof Piatek scored the lone goal for Berlin in the loss. Union Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach played out a 1-1 draw in which Union actually jumped to a 1-0 lead through Robin Knoche. Alassane Plea levelled the score in the second half for the visitors.

Schalke and Werder Bremen also played out a 1-1 draw but Schalke were saved the embarrassment of another loss when Bremen’s 94th minute winner was pulled back for offside. Omar Mascarell scored the opener for Schalke while Kevin Mohwald equalized for the home side. RB Leipzig came out on top in the top game against Bayer Leverkusen, winning a tight 1-0 game. It was a back and forth affair and while Leipzig carried the lead in shots, the chances were there at both ends. Kristopher Nkunku’s goal was the difference in this one though as Leipzig consolidated their lead over their top four rivals.
