Bayer Leverkusen achieved something this Saturday (11) that no team other than Bayern Munich had managed in this Bundesliga season: beating Borussia Dortmund.
A first-half goal by Robert Andrich decided the match at Signal Iduna Park in the 29th round of the German Championship.
Until this game, Dortmund had lost only twice in the competition. Both times against Bayern.
The result moves Leverkusen up one spot in the table into 5th place, boosting its push for a Champions League spot next season.
Bayern are also thankful, as they can now extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to nine points.
Check out the details of the other matches from this Saturday morning in the Bundesliga below:
Borussia Dortmund x Bayer Leverkusen
A match with good scoring chances for both sides, but Leverkusen were more efficient.
Andrich opened the scoring with a long-range strike that goalkeeper Gregor Kobel could not reach.
Leipzig x Borussia Mönchengladbach
The standout figure in the match was Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Rocco Reitz.
A product of the club’s academy, he will move to Leipzig in the middle of the year — the very opponent from this Saturday.
The game-winner, however, was Yan Diomandé, who scored the match’s only goal late in the second half.
Wolfsburg x Eintracht Frankfurt
Second from bottom in the table, Wolfsburg made their relegation battle even more difficult.
Eintracht Frankfurt put the win on track in the first half, going into the break with a 2-0 lead.
Heidenheim x Union Berlin
After 29 matches played, the team at the bottom of the table finally claimed its fourth win.
Heidenheim went 2-0 up against Union Berlin in the first half and held on to the advantage after the break.
