Winning football matches has been far from childs play for dortmund this time but there was a spring in their step against hoffenheim as pages stood as team went in search of their first home win since september and began brightly for what im sure you are malenko going close. To hoffenheim goal wasnt just sage and christian policy it was unlucky here. But after twenty minutes the visitors mounted their first real attack and open the scoring and well well move was finished off by mach. Dont miss defenses just deep understood but hoffenheim were far too quick. Despite the setback the home side were undeterred and continued to fret in the sixty third minute stephane possed found since he could cower in the box actually a penalty. Emerick obame on dispatch the spot kick his thirteenth goal of the season. The equaliser initially spurred him hoffenheim rather than dont win but you did now those inside could not take advantage it was left to dortmund to gower to its but he sets policy for the winner in the eighty nine minutes dortmund have stormed back to form with a two one success against them rivals for a european spots thats two wins in two games thirty lated. Now shellcode are in fantastic form this season with the royal blues facing frankfurt on the back of a ten much unbeaten streak its their longest such spell in over a decade and a win would maintain them in the second spot in the table and hot on the heels of leaders byron munich but their opponents frankfurt have in previous years caused plenty of problems for shall come the eagles have had a mixed season to say the least their form away from home is the best in the bundesliga but its a very different story on home turf a high intensity game was in store. I. Shall because team spirit has played a large part in s. Excess so far this season but it was the spirit of giving evidence at the start of them match against eintracht they were less than two minutes on the clock when you could yo bitch trotted home christmas come early for the benfica loney. But im tracked have struggled at home this season and the visit has gradually got back into the match kashrut the hero here his fingertips save in short im tracked went into the break a goal to the goods. And there were more goodies in store after half time me at catching of its best into the box and sebastian app pulled this out of his christmas stocking.

Disconnect turned out to be the last of the match. We are at him that like to play football to play possession and with this pitch today was very hauled very sleepy so we try our best and at the end i think this roys like a victory for us. Thats now eleven games without defeat for south no wonder they were singing jingle bells to desk all the way. Now cologne started the season could be described as a nightmare dire or even embarrassing after sixteen matches and a new coach they were still without a win could they finish the year with a victory against well the answer is.

With the team thats ever been here and the bundesliga show says congratulations to the guys there in cologne now lets hear what goalkeeper t. Mo horne had to say about cologne finally picking up a win. Its ridiculous that taken to the last game before the winter break to manage this but nevertheless its hugely satisfying for us and its good for the team spirit and its also very important for the fans you know if youre still for defense. Hugely satisfying indeed there were more games to speak of on saturday including braman against mines the two sides were just two points apart and desperate to drag themselves away from the dreaded drop zone both teams lost their matches last time out venters home advantage and better overall form of late could prove difficult for months. Braman coach phil van kol felt had good reason to smile as his side went to nil up in the opening seventy minutes seaman box leader got the first when he was given time to pick his spots by a lazy months defense but in the second half the business has showed fighting spirit a hopeful long ball found a club in close on who managed to somehow bundle his way through to cut the lead to two walls. And just fifteen seconds from time fabienne fi pounced on a cross to seal a vital away point in the relegation battle. Freiburg coach just stice was in for a rude awakening in. It took alfredsson bogus and just fifty full seconds to get the hosts off the mock i. Shall i say and she failed to stop the cross and then the iceland strike and got two bites at the cherry. But frye pulled him back to stand going to his gold put the sides level at hof time. His teammates meals paid to send then schooled twice to seemingly set up a crucial away win but frye books three one lead was cancelled out as finn bugs in school two in injury time i spoke to unbeaten in full home games with patrick arraf in bogus and closing in on goal but live in dusky in the scoring shots. The leagues top scorer was not able to find the net on this match day as by and took that time wearing down the still got defense thomas mullah broke the deadlock off to seventy nine minutes with only his second goal of the season. Shock then failed to convert a penalty deep into added time leading stood got just two points off the relegation play off spot. I am now much they seventeen has proved. To be incredibly dramatic so far and its time to take a look at those results starting their of course with that second win back to back for dortmund against hoffenheim this time frankfurt again shout at the two will draw their cologne be devolved braman and mind drew freiburg got really lucky against byron munich glad they beat hamburg and of course on sunday we have two big games had over against leverkusen and leipsic against berlin now moving over to what those results mean for the table and theres a little bit of movement of the top dortmund leapfrog leipzig gladbach move up of course moved them but of course they are playing on sunday like weve just seen leverkusen hoffenheim and frankfurt all moved down and then then the other end of the table not a whole lot of movement there but it is interesting to know that were seeing cologne at least get some more points are still bottom of the table hamburg do move and of course braman move up the table just a little bit.
