They started celebrating in Munich too early. After the defeat of Dortmund in Leipzig, the third of the season, and on the eve of the last national team break, Karl Heinz Rummenigge said that the Bundesliga trophy is surely staying at Allianz Arena. However, Bayern were unexpectedly defeated in their neighborhood last night, Borussia collected all three points against Stuttgart today (2-1), so they found themselves in a situation where – in case of a triumph in the big derby at the beginning of next month (assuming they don’t fail in Wolfsburg) – Dortmund can takeover a leadership position.Few could have hoped it will develop this way ahead of the season, especially after Erling Halland was seriously injured and deprived the team of his presence and his goals until the end of the year.Borussia are not showing their best face, Marco Rose is far from the magic formula, but the unexpected mistakes of the champions made the fight for the crown still exciting.Stuttgart did not fight dominate like they did last season in Westphalia when they scored five goals, but they bothered the host well. Borussia had the advantage from the first minutes of the second half as Donyell Malen scored after a pass from Rafael Guerreiro, only for Roberto Massimo to complicate the situation after he tricked Mats Hummels and then defeated Kobel.Dortmund did not attack as well as they usually do, they had to watch out for Stuttgart’s speed and counter, so the decisive goal happened at the very finish.Thorgan Hazard and Marco Reus created the second goal – the Belgian took a shot and missed but the captain was in the right place and hit the empty net from a few meters for three big points.Leipzig stumbles with Jesse Marsh and the impression is that his team hasn’t played so badly since the start of the season. The Bulls fell against Hoffenheim with no bullets fired (2-0).At the first goal of Hoffenheim, the goalkeeper Gulacsi made a mistake, flew into the empty net, and passed the ball into the goal with his head to Diadie Samassekou. The victory of the hosts was confirmed by the Israeli striker Munas Dabbur.Where he left off before the break, Jonas Hoffmann continued the weak GreuterFurth. Monchengladbach joined the race for the Champions League with seven points from the last three matches. The experienced midfielder scored two goals and was the best in the 4-0 triumph, while Alassane Plea and Florian Neuhaus also scored. After a long time, a great game was provided by captain Lars Stindl who recored three assists…BUNDESLIGA – Round 12FridayAugsburg – Bayern 2-1 (2-1)/Pedersen 23, Hahn 35 – Lewandowski 38/SaturdayBielefeld – Wolfsburg 2-2 (1-0)/Okugawa 11, Klos 54 – Weghorst 62, Nmecha 63/Leverkusen – Bochum 1-0 (1-0)/Adli 3/M’ gladbach – Greuther Furth 4-0 (3-0)/Hofmann 9, 57, Neuhaus 28, Plea 43/Dortmund – Stuttgart 2-1 (0-0)/Malen 56, Reus 85 – Massimo 63/Hoffenheim – RB Leipzig 2-0 (1-0)/Samassekou 12, Dabbur 64/Union Berlin – Hertha 2-0 IN PROGRESSSunday17.30: (2.10) Freiburg (3.50) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.80)19.30: (2.30) Mainz (3.50) Koln (3.25)***odds are subject to change
