BERLIN: German giants Bayern Munich defended their top spot after carving out a hard-earned 1-0 win over resilient Arminia Bielefeld on the sole goal form Leroy Sane at the 13th round in Bundesliga on Saturday. Bayern created several chances in the opening stages as Muller headed narrowly wide in the 6th minute before Alphonso Davies unleashed a dangerous shot from close range with 15 minutes gone.
Lewandowski should have broken the deadlock at the hour mark, but the Pole missed the far post with all time and space from inside the box.
Bayern's pressure eventually paid off after a combination via Muller allowed Sane to open the scoring with a well-placed curl from the edge of the box into the top right corner with 71 minutes gone.
With the 10th victory of the campaign Bayern Munich defended the top spot in the Bundesliga table while Arminia Bielefeld stay on the 17th position, which is a direct relegation spot.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund came from behind with goals from Emre Can, Donyell Malen and Erling Haaland to overpowered hosts Wolfsburg 3-1 in another late Saturday match. Agencies
