Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga's top team, dropped additional points in a 1-1 draw at Hoffenheim. Bayern's second consecutive draw in the Bundesliga, and it's third in a row in which the team has dropped points. Robert Lewandowski scored an equalizer for the team. With eight matches remaining, Hertha Berlin took another unwelcome step toward relegation after losing 2-0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach, slipping into a direct relegation spot. With a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin, Sasa Kalajdzic struck in the penultimate minute to push Stuttgart past. Freiburg beat Wolfsburg 3-2 at home to climb into fourth place and the final Champions League qualifying spot.

Hertha has yet to win a competitive game this season, and the loss to Gladbach could lead to Tayfun Korkut's removal as a coach. It was Hertha's fifth loss in a row and their ninth game without a win.
