Bayern edge past Hertha, Leverkusen held to draw

  • Intro:

    Bayern Munich inched closer to the 2014-15 German Bundesliga title on Saturday (25th April) after Bastian Schweinsteiger's 80th-minute goal earned a 1-0 victory over Hertha Berlin.

    Bard Finne's late equaliser saw Koln draw 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday (25th April) and dent their local rivals' hopes of securing direct entry for next season's Champions League from the Bundesliga.

    Script:

    Bayern Munich were looking to edge ever closer to the Bundesliga title as they welcomed Hertha Berlin to the Allianz Arena.

    However, it was the visitors who had the best chance of the first half, Nico Schulz going clean through on goal and despite having all the time in the world to finish, he was denied by Manuel Neuer.

    The big German producing an impressive save to keep the scores level.

    The game winner eventually came 10 minutes from time and was created by Mitchell Weiser on the right wing.

    He took advantage of some dreadful defending as he skipped past several challenges with ease before cutting the ball back across the box.

    Bastian Schweinsteiger was on hand with a trademark powerful top corner finish - enough to turn Hertha's mood upside down.

    The win means Bayern will secure the title should second-placed Wolfsburg fail to beat Borussia Moenchengladbach on Sunday.

    Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen made the short trip to FC Koln seeking to set a new club record of eight straight wins.

    Having missed a penalty earlier, Leverkusen did eventually take the lead 15 minutes into the second half.

    Karim Bellarabi setting up Julian Brandt who finished in style to make it 1-0.

    However, Leverkusen failed to hold on for the win as Koln equalised seven minutes from tme.

    Anthony Ujah headed Marcel Risse's hopeful cross to substitute Bard Finne who struck with a his first goal of the season.
