Bayern Munich moved one victory away from winning back the Bundesliga title as they beat Mainz at home. Leroy Sane slotted into the bottom corner from close range to put Vincent Kompany's side in front. Michael Olise jinked inside and fired a low finish past Robin Zenter in the Mainz goal as Bayern increased their lead before the break.

Bayern Munich may have been knocked out of the Champions League last week, but the Bavarians' Bundesliga hopes received a major boost. A comfortable 4-0 win away at Heidenheim proved invaluable as Bayer Leverkusen could only manage a 1-1 draw away at FC St.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich eased past Mainz 05 3-0 on Saturday but had to put title celebrations on ice after Bayer Leverkusen matched their win to stay eight points behind with three matches left to play.
