Second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who beat Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-2 also on Saturday, keep their hopes alive, and would need results to go their way in the final day.

Niko Kovac’s Bayern, whose two goals were rightly disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) sit two points clear of Dortmund heading into the final day.

They host Eintracht Frankfurt next weekend, while Dortmund travel to Borussia Monchengladbach for the final day showdown in Germany.
