Volkswacht Bodensee - Bayern held by Leverkusen, Angelino rescues Leipzig

Julian Nagelsmann's Bayern missed a chance to move 11 points clear at the top of the table, with second-placed Borussia Dortmund's match at Mainz postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak in the hosts' squad.

But the Bavarian giants are still in pole position for a 10th straight league title.

Third-placed Leverkusen remain four points clear of fifth-placed Freiburg in the race for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification.

It appeared as though it would be business as usual for Bayern when centre-back Niklas Suele gave them an 18th-minute lead with his first Bundesliga goal of the season.

Leverkusen were gifted an equaliser nine minutes before half-time, though, in strange circumstances.

Kerem Demirbay's free-kick from the right wing was sailing straight to Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich but Mueller, under no pressure, stretched full length to volley the ball into his own net.

The visitors twice almost grabbed a shock lead before the interval, as Amine Adli struck the post before Ulreich made an excellent save to deny Charles Aranguiz a goal.

Bayern dominated in the second half but struggled to create many clear-cut chances, with Robert Lewandowski passing up the best opportunity for a winner when he headed wide 10 minutes from time.

Nagelsmann's men will now turn their attentions to Tuesday and the Champions League last-16 second leg against Red Bull Salzburg, with the tie level at 1-1.

- Freiburg denied by Leipzig -

Elsewhere on Saturday, RB Leipzig clung on to fourth place thanks to Angelino's 90th-minute goal in a 1-1 draw against Freiburg at the Red Bull Arena.

The visitors led for the majority of the match after Ermedin Demirovic's first-half goal.

But former Manchester City left-back Angelino's intervention kept Leipzig in fourth, above their opponents on goal difference.

However, Hoffenheim can move above both sides and into the final Champions League slot if they can beat Cologne on Sunday in another meeting of top-four hopefuls.

Union Berlin slipped four points behind Leipzig and Freiburg as the capital club suffered a fourth defeat in five Bundesliga matches, losing 1-0 at Wolfsburg.

Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi's own goal in the 24th minute proved costly for Union.

Hertha Berlin remained in the relegation play-off spot after suffering a 4-1 home defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt, while bottom club Greuther Fuerth lost 2-1 at Bochum.
