Uwe Anspach/dpaBayern Munich will have a first chance to seal the Bundesliga title this weekend after Borussia Dortmund suffered a 2-1 defeat at Hoffenheim on Saturday.Serhou Guirassy cancelled out Andrej Kramaric's opener, but Hoffenheim took all the points as Kramaric completed a brace with a second spot-kick in stoppage time.Dortmund sit 12 points behind Bayern with four games left. The Bavarians welcome VfB Stuttgart on Sunday and a draw is enough to give Bayern a 33rd Bundesliga title in club history.Elsewhere, Marie-Louise Eta made history as she became the first woman to coach a men's team in one of Europe's top leagues.
But she made her debut as Union Berlin coach with a 2-1 home defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.In the other games, Fabian Rieder snatched a last-gasp 2-1 win for Augsburg against Bayer Leverkusen, Leipzig claimed a 3-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt, while Werder Bremen prevailed 3-1 in the Northern derby against SV Hamburg.Dortmund must also wait for Champions LeagueHoffenheim took the lead when Kramaric was on target from the spot in the 41st after Niklas Süle blocked the ball with his hand in the box.Dortmund levelled in the 87th as Guirassy picked up a through ball from Ramy Bensebaini and slotted it into the bottom right corner.That result, combined with Leverkusen's defeat, would have qualified Dortmund for the Champions League.But they will have to wait at least another week thanks to Kramaric's winner in the eighth minute of stoppage time. It was another penalty for Hoffenheim, this time after Julian Ryerson's handball.Hoffenheim, meanwhile, benefited from Leverkusen's defeat and moved up to fifth."It's a shame for us but I don't think it's undeserved," Dortmund coach Niko Kovac said.Eta makes historic debut, but with defeatEta was promoted to the job as Union coach after the club dismissed Steffen Baumgart.
But the change still didn't make an impact as the Berlin team extended their winless run to four games.Patrick Wimmer and Dzenan Pejcinovic gave Wolfsburg a 2-0 lead. Oliver Burke pulled one back in the 86th but his effort came too late and Union couldn't stage a turnaround."I'm naturally disappointed that we lost this match. The lads had set their sights high and implemented many things well.
We created plenty of chances today, but in the end, it was always the little things that were missing," Eta said after the match.When she emerged from the tunnel before kick-off, nearly every camera in the stadium was pointed at her."I was the centre of attention. It's not about me, it's about football," she stressed.While Union are 11th in the standings, Wolfsburg are in the relegation zone and six points from safety.Leipzig with crucial away winFrankfurt suffered a setback in their fight for a spot in Europe and are currently empty-handed in seventh, but Leipzig took crucial three points as they bid to qualify for the Champions League.Hugo Larsson levelled for Frankfurt in the 34th after Yan Diomande had broken the deadlock for Leipzig in the 27th.But Antonio Nusa put Leipzig ahead again in the 70th and substitute Conrad Harder needed only two minutes on the pitch to seal the win for the guests in the 81st.The top four qualify for the Champions League.
Leipzig are third but just five points ahead of fifth-placed Hoffenheim.Rieder's brace lead Augsburg to winPatrik Schick met a lovely cross from Edmond Tapsoba to give Leverkusen the lead in the 12th minute.But just three minutes later, Augsburg were level after Rieder's shot deflected off Jarell Quansah and into the net.Goalkeeper Finn Dahmen made a series of saves throughout the rest of the game to keep Augsburg alive and his efforts paid off. His side was awarded a penalty and Rieder completed his brace to secure the win in the seventh minute of stoppage time.Leipzig's Conrad Harder celebrates scoring his side's third goal during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig at Deutsche Bank Park.
