Bayern Munich loses, Hertha Berlin relegated from Bundesliga

Bayern Munich squandered its lead on Saturday as Leipzig came from behind to win 3-1 in the Bundesliga, giving Borussia Dortmund the chance to move top going into the final weekend.

Bayern just needed to win its last two games to be sure of claiming its record-extending 11th consecutive title, but Leipzig's shock win in Munich handed Dortmund the initiative.

Dortmund faces Augsburg away on Sunday. If it wins that game, and its final game at home to Mainz next weekend, Dortmund would end Bayern's 10year reign as German champion.

It had started so well for the Bavarian powerhouse, which dominated the opening half hour against the cautious visitors.

Thomas Müller – making his second consecutive start for Bayern – set up Serge Gnabry for the opener in the 25th minute.

But Leipzig responded with three good chances in a row in the 34th, 35th and 36th. Yann Sommer responded with three good saves.

Konrad Laimer, who is reportedly set to join Bayern next season, scored a deserved equalizer in the 64th, then Christopher Nkunku scored from the penalty spot in the 76th after he was fouled in the area by compatriot Benjamin Pavard.

Dominik Szoboszlai sealed it with another penalty in the 85th after Noussair Mazraoui was penalized for handball.

Leipzig consolidated third place and secured its Champions League qualification place for next season.

Bayern faces Cologne away for its final game and must now also hope for a Dortmund slip-up.

Hertha Berlin was relegated from the Bundesliga after conceding in the fourth minute of injury time to draw with Bochum 1-1.

Former Union Berlin defender Keven Schlotterbeck headed the goal that sent Hertha down to the second division.

It's Hertha's seventh relegation from the Bundesliga. Only Nuremberg (nine) and Arminia Bielefeld (eight) have been demoted more times.

Hertha needed a win to postpone the relegation decisions to the final day of the season and it was looking good for the home team after Lucas Tousart finally made the breakthrough with a header to Marco Richter's corner in the 64th minute.

"We weren't relegated today. Today we actually delivered a good game," Hertha coach Pál Dárdai said. "We should have killed the game, we had five or six good chances. We shouldn't be ashamed of our performance. The fans saw that."

Both teams hit the post in the final minutes before Schlotterbeck was left unopposed to head Kevin Stöger's corner past Oliver Christensen in the Hertha goal.

It ensured Hertha stayed last with no chance of finishing above the bottom two. Bochum was not safe yet.

Schlotterbeck and his Bochum teammates ran to celebrate in front of the visiting fans, while the rest of the stadium was left in stunned silence. Some Hertha fans set off loud bangers that reverberated around Olympiastadion,

while there were boos and whistles from some supporters when the team approached after the final whistle.

"I can't believe it, it's just sad," Hertha veteran Prince Boateng said with tears in his eyes. "I love the club and came here knowing it's not all rosy. Now we have the time to regroup and strengthen the club, even if it's in the second division."

Schalke was in the relegation playoff spot after drawing at home to Eintracht Frankfurt 22. There were clashes between rival fans during the game.

Union Berlin missed the chance to consolidate its Champions League qualification spot after losing at Hoffenheim 4-2.

Also, Cologne drew at Werder Bremen 1-1.

Nantes in relegation trouble after loss to Montpellier

Changing coach has made no difference yet for Nantes, which stayed in the French league relegation zone after losing at home to Montpellier 3-0 on Saturday.

Nantes fired Antoine Kombouaré with four games remaining and replaced him with the reserves coach. But the side has picked up only one point in two games since.

Nantes fell behind in the 38th minute when Téji Savanier set up fellow midfielder Jordan Ferri with a long pass.

Striker Arnaud Nordin made it 2-0 in the 47th with an angled drive into the bottom left corner.

Defender Falaye Sacko completed the scoring late on to leave eight-time French champion Nantes in 17th place with four teams going down this season and only two rounds remaining.

Later Saturday, Marseille was looking to win at Lille to overtake Lens and move into second place for the automatic Champions League position.

Victory for Lille would move it two points behind fourth-placed Monaco in the Europa League spot.

Manchester United in sight of Champions League return after 1-0 win at Bournemouth

Manchester United is in touching distance of a return to the Champions League after beating Bournemouth 1-0 on Saturday to strengthen its place in the top four of the Premier League.

The win — sealed by Casemiro's close-range overhead kick in the ninth minute — moved United three points clear of fifth-place Liverpool, which drew 1-1 with Aston Villa and only has one game left to play.

United only requires a point from its final two games, at home to Chelsea and Fulham, to get back into the Champions League after a one-season absence.

That would be yet another positive for United in a strong first season under Dutch coach

Erik ten Hag, who has already guided the team to the English League Cup trophy as well as a spot in the FA Cup final against Manchester City on June 3.

Being in the Champions League should see United attract bigger names in the offseason transfer window, while adding more value to a club that is up for sale and the subject of offers from Qatar and British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe.

It was maybe fitting that a goal by Casemiro moved United so close to that top-four place, with the Brazil midfielder playing an influential role since joining from Real Madrid last year and running the game at Vitality Stadium.

His goal came from a rare foray forward. Christian Eriksen clipped a pass over the defense and into the penalty area toward Casemiro, who reacted to the ball taking a slight deflection off a Bournemouth player by adjusting his body and acrobatically volleying in off the post with his back to goal.

United was without Marcus Rashford because of an illness and that impacted the visitors' attacking threat against a Bournemouth team already safe from relegation and with little to play for.

United needed a save with his legs by David De Gea from substitute Kieffer Moore to preserve the clean sheet and win.

Everton grabs last-minute equalizer in fight for EPL survival

Yerry Mina's dramatic leveler at Wolverhampton earned Everton a valuable point in its fight for English Premier League survival on Saturday.

The defender struck from close range in the ninth minute of second-half stoppage time to grab a 1-1 draw and give the Toffees hope after Hwang Hee-chan's first-half goal for Wolves.

Everton's 69-year stay in the top-flight remains in doubt and Sean Dyche's side could still find itself in the drop zone before next week's finale.

Leeds visits West Ham on Sunday before Leicester's trip to Newcastle on Monday and victory for both would lift them above Everton.

As it is, Everton sits two points above the bottom three ahead of the visit of Bournemouth next Sunday.

Everton struggled for long spells and again lost Dominic Calvert-Lewin to injury. CalvertLewin, who came off in last week's defeat to Manchester City with a groin problem, limped off in first-half stoppage time.

It will spawn a nervous Goodison Park, which saw its last relegation from the top-flight in 1951.
