Despite going in front, the German favourites failed to overcome gutsy boys from Frankfurt and could only draw 1-1 on Saturday night. The Bavarians took the lead in the first half when Leroy Sane expertly tucked away a low cross from captain Thomas Muller, but rather than continuing to grind their opponents down, the reigining German champions gave Eintracht a kiss of life and let them build up steam before eventually allowing Randal Kolo Muani to make them look like schoolboys while making it 1-1.Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann has criticised his side’s complacent approach in recent weeks and despite a controlled first-half showing, the Bavarian’s flimsy approach again proved costly. The Bavarians’ woes continue. While they may have extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 16 matches, they’re now without a win in three league games. Hopes of an 11th consecutive Meisterschale still remain for Bayern, but the most competitive title race in recent Bundesliga memory appears to be shaping up, with Frankfurt certainly in the mix as things stand.With second-placed Union Berlin winnin earlier on Saturday, the champions can’t afford to relax and must start stringing victories if they don’t want to see the crown roll off their head.BUNDESLIGA – ROUND 18FridayRB Leipzig – Stuttgart 2-1 (1-0)/Szoboszlai 25, 49 – Fuhrich 68 pen/SaturdayFreiburg – Augsburg 3-1 (2-1)/Gregoritsch 13, Holer 30, Lienhart 85 – Berisha 29 pen/Hertha Berlin – Union Berlin 0-2 (0-1)/Doekhi 44, Seguin 67/Hoffenheim – Borussia Monchengladbach 1-4 (0-2)/Bebou 80 – Hofmann 12, 37, Stindl 83, Wolf 90+1/Mainz – Bochum 5-2 (3-0)/Lee 1, Widmer 17, Onisiwo 28, 57, 87 – Kunde 70, Masovic 72/Werder Bremen – Wolfsburg 2-1 (1-0)/Fullkrug 24 pen, 77 – Paredes 90/Bayern – Eintracht 1-1 (1-0)/Sane 34 – Kolo Muani 69/Sunday17:30: (3.90) Schalke (3.45) Koln (1.98)19:30: (2.55) Leverkusen (3.40) Dortmund (2.70)***odds are subject to change***
