15:30 Kickoffs: Frankfurt send Union to 12th straight defeat, Bayer survive TSG comeback, Mainz stun Leipzig
Every last set of concurrent matches in the Bundesliga’s latest set of 15:30 kickoffs remained exciting until the very last minute on Saturday afternoon. When the dust finally settled, Bayer 04 Leverkusen were able to maintain their hold on first-place in the Bundesliga table with a 3-2 win over Hoffenheim. A home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt also ended up sending 1. FC Union Berlin into the relegation zone. A 12th consecutive defeat for Urs Fischer’s Eisern Union leaves the German Champions League representatives in 16th place in the table. Union find themselves tied on points with FSV Mainz 05 after the Rheinhessen upset visiting RB Leipzig at the MEWE Arena. All 18 top-tier clubs have now won at least one match thanks to the shock upset from interim trainer Jan Siewert’s side.
