Bundesliga Matchday 19 in Pictures
Schalke get a point in Munich, Hoffenheim get back to their winning ways, Hertha get their first win of 2017 and Dortmund get revenge against Leipzig. Here are the best images from Matchday 19 in the Bundesliga
Naldo's Hammer
When Schalke conceded a goal within the first ten minutes, it looked like their struggles were due to continue in Munich. But Naldo (center) came to the rescue, bouncing in a free kick that put Schalke level with the defending Bundesliga champions in the first half. Schalke's defense took it from there, holding off Bayern to earn a valuable point away from home.
A brace against his former team
Adam Szalai (left) has not done spectacularly well since leaving Mainz in 2013, but he did have a spectacular game off the bench for Hoffenheim. The Hungarian forward scored two goals against his former club to top off a fantastic rebound performance for Hoffenheim, who lost their first game of the season last week against RB Leipzig.
A quick strike for Hertha
It only took 59 seconds until Berlin took the lead against Ingolstadt on Saturday. Genki Haraguchi smashed a pass from Salamon Kalou into the back of the net, which left Martin Hansen (middle left) in a state of dismay. It was the only goal Hertha needed to secure their first win of 2017.
Owl-eyed Modeste strikes again
Cologne have lost just once this season when Anthony Modeste has scored. His goal, the only goal in Cologne's 1-0 win over Wolfsburg, came from the penalty spot after the French forward drew a penalty from a misguided dive from Diego Benaglio. It was his 15th goal of the season as he continues to move up the goalscoring chart.
Belly full of goals
It took 73 minutes for Borussia Mönchengladbach to get their motor running, but it roared pretty loud when it kicked into gear. Gladbach scored their three goals in 15 minutes at the end of their contest with Freiburg, Raffael getting the first. Their 3-0 result was the second time this season in which Gladbach have scored three goals in the second half.
Pretty relentless Papadopoulos
Kyriakos Papadopoulos (second from left) may be a defender wearing a striker's number (No. 9). But he earned his kit number after a game-winning goal against his former club Bayer Leverkusen - from which he is on loan. The goal gave Hamburg their fourth win in seven Bundesliga games.
An eye for revenge
RB Leipzig shocked Borussia Dortmund in their first ever Bundesliga home game last September with a 1-0 victory. Dortmund did the shocking this time, upsetting the second-placed Red Bulls with a 1-0 victory. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headed in the game's only goal, his 17th of the season - in as many Bundesliga starts.
Last-gasp drama
Augsburg came from behind twice to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory over Werder Bremen. An entertaining and open game looked to be heading for a draw when Koo equalized with ten minutes to go. But Raul Bobadilla (pictured left) crowned a highly-impressive individual performance with the winning goal deep into stoppage time.
Derby honors
Eintracht Frankfurt were made to work very hard for a 2-0 win over bottom-club Darmstadt in the Hesse derby. A second-half penalty by Makoto Hasebe (pictured) finally broke the deadlock before Rebic killed the game off late on. The win takes Frankfurt up to third and firmly in the race for the Champions League.
