Bayern share spoils with Frankfurt in Bundesliga

BERLIN: Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich drop points for the third straight time in 2023 after Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani canceled out Leroy Sane's opener to ensure a 1-1 draw in the 18th round on Saturday.

Both sides started offensively minded into the clash and exchanged attacks from the opening whistle, as Kolo Muani pulled wide from a promising position in the 12th minute before Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich tested Frankfurt goalkeeper

Trapp in quick succession at the half-hour mark.

Muller remained in the thick of things as the German veteran set up for Sane, who made no mistake and slotted home with a low shot from inside the box in the 34th minute.

Elsewhere, Union Berlin move on second and reduced the gap behind Bayern to one point after beating uninspired Hertha Berlin 2-0 in the capital derby.

Freiburg returned to winning ways as first-half goals from Michael Gregoritsch and Lucas Holer paved the way for a 3-1 victory over Augsburg.

Werder Bremen ended Wolfsburg's winning run as Niclas Fullkrug donated a brace to edge the Wolves 2-1.

Jonas Hofmann's double strike helped Borussia Monchengladbach down Hoffenheim 4-1, while Mainz crushed Bochum 5-2.
