Bayern Munich 5-2 Hoffenheim
Bayern Munich showed that they are ready to run away with the title as they came back from two goals down to beat a spirited Hoffenheim outfit.
The Bavarians have had a hard time against the Sinsheimers in their recent football games, and it was evident once again when the visitors went up by two after just 12 minutes. However, the reigning champions proved they are now a different team as they hit five to turn around the betting odds.
Goals from Robert Lewandowski, Jerome Boateng, Kingsley Coman, Arturo Vidal and Sandro Wagner completed Bayern’s revival and extended their unbeaten run at home to 32 games—just one short of their club record.
Mark Uth opened the scoring for Hoffenheim on three minutes after Sven Ulreich failed to control the rebound from Serge Gnabry’s penalty. Gnabry then made amends for his missed chance from the spot moments later, firing past the Bayern keeper from 20 yards.
Bayern, nonetheless, got back into the game in the 21st minute, with Lewandowski deflecting Joshua Kimmich’s shot into the net. Boateng then pulled the hosts level four minutes later with a header off an Arjen Robben corner.
It was all Bayern from there on as the Bavarians dominated the second half. Coman and Vidal made a quick-fire double at the hour before Wagner rounded off the scoring as time expires.
This result made it seven wins in a row for Jupp Heynckes men. They are also now 16 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Meanwhile, the chase for a top-four spot got chaotic as the Bulls and BVB failed to get all the points. Leipzig drew with Hamburg 1-1, while Dortmund needed added time to pull off a 2-2 stalemate with Freiburg.
With that, Frankfurt managed to crack into the top four after taking down struggling Gladbach with a pair of unanswered goals. Schalke also went ahead of the two contenders following a comfortable 2-0 victory over Stuttgart.
Elsewhere, Hertha Berlin and Werder Bremen played out a goalless draw at Weserstadion. Bottom club Koln, on the other hand, remain unbeaten in the league this 2018 after sharing the spoils with Augsburg.
