Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund both won on Saturday as both tried to cover ground against Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern beat Koln 2-0 to stop Leverkusen from winning the league title on Sunday. After knocking on the door continuously, Bayern finally cracked it open through Raphaël Guerreiro, who lashed home from outside the box to open the scoring in style.

A late Thomas Müller strike eased the tension inside the Allianz Arena, putting an end to the clash.

It was one-way traffic for Dortmund in the early going of their 2-1 win over Gladbach. It took them just over 20 minutes to reap rewards for their efforts. The opener was secured by Marcel Sabitzer from the left side of the box, but the midfielder would not stop there.

After Gladbach conceded a penalty less than 10 minutes later, Sabitzer stepped up to convert and bag his first-half brace.

A thrashing was not on the cards however, as Maximilian Wöber cut the Dortmund lead in half less than 10 minutes before the break to bring Gladbach back into the affair.

The clash was flipped on its head after the break however, as Karim Adeyemi was sent off for his second yellow-card of the afternoon, opening a door for the home side to pull level, or even snatch the win.

Luckily for the visitors, the numerical inferiority would not come back to haunt them, as they held on to collect all three points and go level on points with fourth place RB Leipzig.
