Sometimes they mock it, calling it ‘Farmer’s league’ or ‘Bayernliga’, but the fact is that Bundesliga provides some exceptional, almost sensational games.It was the same today, as both table-toppers Bayern Munich and their perennial runners-up Borussia Dortmund lost to minnows Mainz and Bochum, respectively.It must be agonizing for Erling Haaland to see his team losing 4-3 despite him nailing a hat-trick. We have witnessed a proper rollercoaster at the Signal Iduna Park, as the visitors rushed from the start to put themselves in front after just three minutes. Five minutes later and they doubled the lead, but that was the moment Haaland stepped up to turn the tables thoroughly.Erling Haaland with a hattrick today only to be told his agent is gone 😥.

Midway through the second half, one of the most gifted forwards in the world found the back of the net again, this time from an open play, to seal a perfect comeback.However, Bochum were not at least impressed by his stunning individual performance, as underdogs fought back in a five-minute-long perfect storm near the end of the game to celebrate a 4-3 victory.Sure, BVB are predestined to finish another Bundesliga campaign in the second place, and an eventual win wouldn’t make much difference. Still, they could have benefited from the unexpected loss of their sought-after rivals, Bayern Munich.Comfortable at the summit, the Bavarians are obviously not taking this season finale too seriously. They suffered their only fifth defeat of the season against the mid-table Mainz, 3-1. Who other than Lewandowski netted for the guests, but it was deficient. Superb from Mainz for the second year in a row as they overpower Bayern in front of a bouncing Mewa Arena! 🏋️♂️🙃📺 Highlights: @Mainz05en 3-1 @FCBayernEN#M05FCB #Bundesliga pic.twitter.com/kv9GEcyz7j— Bundesliga English (@Bundesliga_EN) April 30, 2022 Like Bochum, Mainz were quick from the starting greed to stun the giants. Lewa’s goal reduced the gap, but the reigning champions – who are on the verge of clinching their eleventh title in a row – were nowhere near the point, let alone all three today at the Opel Arena.BUNDESLIGAFridayUnion Berlin – Greuter Furth 1-1 (0-1)/Michel 72 – Hrgota 33/SaturdayAugsburg – Koln 1-4 (0-2)/Niederlechner 73 – Thielmann 12, Uth 15, Modeste 63 pen, 77/Mainz – Bayern 3-1 (2-1)/Burkardt 18, Niakhate 27, Barreiro 57 – Lewandowski 33/Bielefeld – Hertha 1-1 (0-0)/Nilsson 90+1 – Tousart 55/Dortmund – Bochum 3-4 (2-2)/Haaland 18 pen, 30 pen, 62 – Polter 3, Holtmann 8, Locadia 81, Pantovic 85/Stuttgart – Wolfsburg 1-1 (0-1)/Fuhrich 89 – Brooks 13/19.30: (2.55) Hoffenheim (3.50) Freiburg (2.95)Monday21.30: (1.45) Leverkusen (4.50) Eintr.Frankfurt (7.00)21.30: (4.80) M’ gladbach (3.70) RB Leipzig (1.87)***odds are subject to change
