More on that Pauli side
For Alexander Blessin, there are two changes to his starting line-up from the 3-2 defeat in Munich on Matchday 27. Wahl and Ritzka start in place of Van der Heyden, who misses out with a thigh issue, and Dźwigała, who drops to the bench.

Schmid scorcher!
Great team goal. Stage turns his man in midfield, charges towards goal and slips in Weiser down the right-hand side. The midfielder squares across the box to Grüll, who misses the ball entirely. It runs right through to Schmid, who collects on the left-hand side of the box and rifles it into the far corner to surely put the game to bed.

Pieper swings in a corner from the left and it sails over the crowded area before dropping at the back post, where an onrushing Burke simply nods his side in front. Too easy.

LATERKUSEN STRIKE AGAIN!
Well, well, well. The clock had just hit 90 and that means Leverkusen time. Buendía picking up the ball on the edge of the D, taking aim with his right foot and wheeling away in celebration as the ball clips the inside of the post and goes in. A huge goal for the defending champions.

Eggestein scores! Lifeline for Freiburg?
Dōan is sent sprinting down the right flank, where he controls the ball near the byline and plays it across goal to Eggestein. The midfielder takes a touch, unmarked inside the area, and rifles an effort inside the left post. Too little, too late?

Poulsen puts the seal on it?
Leipizig's record appearance maker strikes his first Bundesliga goal of the season, at a vital time! The Dane's shot within minutes of coming onto the pitch is parried away by Baumann, and Tidiam Gomis heads down to Poulsen, who turns and tucks just inside the corner of the net. VAR checks if Poulsen handled it when controlling the ball, but the goal stands.

Guirassy makes it three!
Brandt prevents a Freiburg attack near the centre circle and launches one for Dortmund. He exchanges passes with Chukwuemeka, whose return sends the German clear through on goal. Brandt races into the box and has time to pick his spot, though unselfishly opts to square it to Guirassy, who has joined him in attack. The Guinean can simply roll his shot into a now-unguarded net.

So close to the hat-trick!
Woltemade is played through to the byline. It looks as though Ordets will shepherd it out for Bochum, but the big forward manages to get round him to poke a hopeful ball into the box. Demirović reacts quickest, opting for the first-time shot, but his powerful effort is straight at Horn, who manages to parry with a good reflex save to deny the Bosnian.

Chukwuemeka gets lucky!
Dortmund work the ball down the left, where Adeyemi feeds inside, 30 metres from goal. Beier takes a touch and pokes it into the path of a rampant Chukwuemeka, who has space to run at goal. He takes an age to shoot but, when he eventually does from the edge of the area, it takes a deflection that sees his effort loop over Müller and into the net.

Demirović at the double!
That goal has really deflated the Bochum fans here. Stuttgart work it out to Führich on the left, who draws pressure before playing it down the line to Hendriks. The full-back whips a dangerous cross into the six-yard box, finding Demirović, who had lost his man to poke it home unmarked. Bochum have a mountain to climb here...

Baku fires Leipzig in front!
The hosts have raced back in front before the break, with the ball chested down by Touré after a cross from the right. Ridle Baku latches onto the loose ball to rifle it into the net from just inside the area - his first goal for Leipzig!
35'


Adeyemi makes the breakthrough!
Ryerson charges down the right and whips a good ball across the face of goal. It's headed away to the edge. Groß takes a swing at it but it's blocked into the path of Adeyemi, just to the left of goal, inside the box. The Germany forward brings it under control, takes a touch round a defender and fires home from a tight angle.
34'


What a goal!
This is something special from Alexander Bernhardsson, who collects a pass at the edge of the area, to the right. The Swede sends a superb, high strike towards the far post and the ball crashes in off the woodwork. A goal of the weekend contender all the way.

How did that stay out?!
Rieder finds himself with time and space for a shot from the edge of the Bochum box and strikes a powerful, low, left-footed effort towards the bottom right corner. It strikes the post before bouncing off the back of the goalkeeper, but it spins away from the goal-line and the angle proves too tight for Woltemade on the follow-up. That could not have been much closer to a third...
28'


Hoffenheim reduced to ten men
Minutes after levelling, Leipzig are now set to have a numerical advantage for the remaining 70-odd minutes as Leo Østigård is sent off for fouling Loïs Openda and denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.

What. A. Save. 😲
Incredible from Robin Zentner. Kiel look certain to take the lead, the Storks working the ball across the 18-yard box. Steven Skrzybski feeds Lasse Rosenboom, who looks to tap home. Out of nowhere, Zentner gets across to block the shot. Huge roars from the home fans.
12'


Demirović with a quickfire second!
What a start for Stuttgart here! A Hendriks throw is brought down by Woltemade, who tussles with a couple of Bochum defenders before shifting it across to Karazor. The captain just lifts the ball over the Bochum back line and into the path of Demirović, who chips it over the outrushing Horn to make it two to the visitors.

Brilliant Bischof blasts Hoffenheim ahead!
How about that? Hoffenheim take the lead in Leipzig, and it comes from Gulácsi gifting the ball away to Touré from a clearance. The Hoffenheim youngster turns it across to Bischof, who smashes a brilliant swirling drive past the goalkeeper and into the net from 30 yards out!
9'


Chabot with the opener!
The first corner of the game pays dividends for Stuttgart. An inswinger is played in from the left by Karazor, finding an unmarked Chabot at the far post, who just pokes it home with an outstretched boot.

Toure troubles Leipzig!
An early chance for Hoffenheim as 19-year-old Bazoumana Touré races clear of David Raum to meet a deep pass and force a double save from the alert Gulácsi.

Top start
Exciting start at the MEWA Arena with Alexander Bernhardsson racing away towards goal before being flagged for offside. At the other end, Paul Nebel's searching pass to the back stick is met by Jonathan Burkardt's header. Thomas Dähne pushes the ball to safety.

Already on a booking, Zesiger slides in on Kane in an attempt to prevent the Bayern striker running through on goal. He pokes the ball away first, but catches the Englishman on the follow through. Augsburg will play the final 30 minutes or so with 10 men...

Sané shows great feet to fashion a shooting chance in the Augsburg box, but he's under pressure and on his weaker right side as he blazes over.

Blushes spared
Dahmen concedes possession with a misdirected pass out from the back. Kimmich pings it back towards Musiala, who's dispossessed by Zesiger at the expense of a corner. Kimmich's resultant cross finds Sané on the edge of the D, but the Bayern No.10 completely miscues his attempted volley.
