Hoffenheim have lost once in the Bundesliga since October.<\/p>\n<h2>Fisher&#8217;s Run ends<\/h2>\n<p>Cologne&#8217;s Ragnar Ace scored twice in a 2-1 come-from-behind victory, ending Urs Fischer&#8217;s unbeaten start as Mainz manager in his seventh game and leaving Mainz in 17th place.<\/p>\n<p>Wolfsburg were looking for a win to escape the relegation zone, but Moritz Jentz&#8217; header in the 80th minute saved Wolfsburg from a 1-1 draw. <\/p>\n<p>Hamburger SV drew 0-0 with Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach, missing a series of chances. The match was the last home game to be called off after a week of rushed repairs to repair damage caused by melting snow at Hamburg&#8217;s stadium. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">postponed<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Soccer: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/bundesliga-scores-bayern-leipzig-dortmund-8d0b7cf6a4b2dcd7ca10139cb7e09cde\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite giving Borussia Dortmund an early two-goal lead in the Bundesliga on Saturday, Emre Can converted a penalty just before stoppage time to give them a 3-2 victory over St. Pauli.
