"Beier teed up Guirassy after 16 minutes, floating a ball over the Cologne defence for the Guinean to score his 12th Bundesliga goal this season. The hosts' hopes of fighting their way back dimmed just before half-time when Jahmai Simpson-Pusey planted his studs in Beier's heel and Daniel Siebert upgraded his yellow card to red after the video assistant referee recommended a review."
"Saturday's win took second-placed Dortmund eight clear of fifth-placed RB Leipzig. Beier was in the thick of things again when he swept home on the hour mark. Jakub Kaminski scored a late consolation for the hosts but Dortmund held on for their first league victory since mid-February."
"Bayer Leverkusen came from behind twice but gave up the lead late to draw 3-3 at Freiburg, days out from their Champions League clash with Arsenal. Leverkusen host the Champions League favourites on Wednesday in the first leg of their last-16 tie but Saturday's wild draw may hurt their chances of reaching next year's programme."
Borussia Dortmund secured a 2-1 victory against Cologne, with goals from Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier strengthening their Champions League qualification position. Guirassy scored in the 16th minute after Beier's assist, while Beier added a second goal in the 60th minute. Cologne's Jahmai Simpson-Pusey received a red card before halftime for a foul on Beier, reducing the hosts to ten men. Jakub Kaminski scored a late consolation goal for Cologne, but Dortmund held firm for their first league victory since mid-February. The win extended Dortmund's lead over fifth-placed RB Leipzig to eight points. Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen drew 3-3 with Freiburg in a wild match, while RB Leipzig won 2-1 against Augsburg with a stoppage-time own goal.
