Overview
- Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 3:2 away to move 11 points clear, with a Harry Kane brace and a late Joshua Kimmich winner after Nico Schlotterbeck’s opener for BVB.
- Dortmund’s strain widened beyond the pitch as the club warned of a €12–22 million loss for the business year and its sporting leadership outlined a more conservative, stability-first transfer approach.
- Werder Bremen collected a first victory under coach Daniel Thioune by defeating Heidenheim 2:0, with Jovan Milosevic scoring before a late own goal, lifting Werder in the relegation fight as Heidenheim’s outlook worsened.
- Borussia Mönchengladbach halted a seven-game winless run with a 1:0 home win over Union Berlin, secured by a Kevin Diks penalty awarded after VAR review deep in stoppage time.
- Germany’s Cologne Administrative Court ruled the BfV may not for now treat the AfD as definitively extremist pending the main case, and WEF president Børge Brende resigned following renewed scrutiny tied to Epstein-related U.S. documents.
