EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 1-0 BORUSSIA DORTMUND
BORUSSIA MÖNCHENGLADBACH 2-1 BAYER 04 LEVERKUSEN
HERTHA BERLIN 1-2 SV DARMSTADT 98
FC SCHALKE 04 1-1 FC AUGSBURG

1. FC KÖLN 0-0 SV WERDER BREMEN
VFB STUTTGART 1-3 1. FSV MAINZ 05
HANNOVER 96 1-0 TSG 1899 HOFFENHEIM
FULL TIME IN INGOLSTADT! BAYERN ARE CHAMPIONS!
RED CARD! 87' SANDRO WAGNER (DARMSTADT)
Look away now, Jogi. Wagner picks up his second yellow of the game for a late tackle on Mitchell Weiser. The visitors are down to ten.
GOAL! 83' HERTHA BERLIN 1-2 SV DARMSTADT 98 (WAGNER)
The Old Lady appears to be running out of puff. That man Sandro Wagner gives Darmstadt the lead with seven minutes remaining. It's the former Hertha striker's 14th league strike of the campaign. Are you watching, Joachim Löw?
GOAL! 81' FC SCHALKE 04 1-0 FC AUGSBURG (HUNTELAAR)
A goal in Gelsenkirchen! Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has made it 1-0 to the hosts. Could be an important goal for the Royal Blues' European ambitions...
GOAL! 73’ HAMBURGER SV 0-1 VFL WOLFSBURG (GUSTAVO)
A Wolfsburg corner from the left is headed across goal by Naldo, and fellow Brazilian Luiz Gustavo is on hand to prod the ball into the roof of the net from a yard out.
LATEST: 70' FCB ALMOST OVER THE LINE
Twenty minutes remaining around the grounds. As things stand, Ingolstadt need to find an equaliser from somewhere and BVB need to score twice to stop Bayern from becoming champions.
GOAL! 54' VFB STUTTGART 1-2 1. FSV MAINZ 05 (CORDOBA)
Just as there was at the start of the first half, there's been an early goal at the beginning of the second at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Jhon Cordoba's the man who's got it, rising unmarked at the far post to head the visitors into the lead! Not the start to the half Jürgen Kramny's side would have wanted...
PENALTY AND GOAL! 42' FC INGOLSTADT 04 1-2 FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN (HARTMANN)
Moritz Hartmann doesn't miss from twelve yards, does he? The forward scores his 11th goal of the campaign and Ingolstadt are back in it. Is there life in the title race yet?
LATEST: 40' VISITORS IN NOW IN CONTROL AT GLADBACH
Daniel Thacker, bundesliga.com reporter at the BORUSSIA-PARK: Leverkusen have been impressive since taking the lead, allowing Gladbach little to nothing in terms of chances. Roger Schmidt stands impassively on the touchline with his hands in his pockets, but he must be delighted with his side’s professional display thus far.
GOAL! 37' VFB STUTTGART 1-1 1. FSV MAINZ 05 (MALLI)
Mainz are level! Great work by Karim Onisiwo on the left. The young Austrian crosses for Yunus Malli - is he offside? It's a close call, but the linesman's flag stays down and it's all square in Baden-Württemberg.
GOAL! 32' FC INGOLSTADT 04 0-2 FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN (LEWANDOWSKI)
Or should that be Ingolstadt 0-2 Robert Lewandowski? The Polish international is played through and manages to find the far bottom corner from a tight angle. Surely that's the league title wrapped up? Surely?!
GOAL! 28’ HANNOVER 96 1-0 TSG 1899 HOFFENHEIM (KIYOTAKE)
Something to cheer about for Hannover fans, even if there's an element of fortune about the goal. Hiroshi Kiyotake's shot evades Oliver Baumann, but the ball is somehow bundled over the line by Hoffenheim defender Niklas Süle. It'll go down as Kiyotake's goal, however.
GOAL! 20' BORUSSIA MÖNCHENGLADBACH 0-1 BAYER 04 LEVERKUSEN (ARANGUIZ)
Daniel Thacker, bundesliga.com reporter at the BORUSSIA-PARK: What a wonderful team goal that is from Leverkusen. The visitors had been coming into their own after weathering Gladbach’s fast start, and when Chicharito picked up the ball on the edge of the box and dinked it into the area, Charles Aranguiz only had to finish. He did so with aplomb, and Roger Schmidt’s side are on course for an eighth straight Bundesliga win.
LATEST: 10' GLADBACH DOMINANT
Daniel Thacker, bundesliga.com reporter at the BORUSSIA-PARK: Gladbach coach Andre Schubert is a ball of energy on the touchline early on. He is living every one of his side’s attacks - and there have been plenty so far. The hosts have started confidently, with Oscar Wendt hitting the post in the second minute.
GOAL! 6’ VFB STUTTGART 1-0 1. FSV MAINZ 05 (GENTNER)
What an important goal that could be in the battle to avoid the drop! Filip Kostic lets fly from distance, and the Serbian winger’s shot is turned in by VfB skipper Christian Gentner. The hosts have an early lead at the Mercedes-Benz Arena!
15:27 - The weather's playing along
Daniel Thacker, bundesliga.com reporter at the BORUSSIA-PARK: The standing section here away to my left is bathed in sunshine, making for a stunning sight as the home fans wave their flags proudly. The volume has turned up a notch as kick-off approaches, with the Gladbach players greeted by a wall of noise as they emerge from the tunnel.
15:09 - Brandt and Kampl missing for Bayer
Daniel Thacker, bundesliga.com reporter at the BORUSSIA-PARK: Leverkusen only have four substitutes today - the word on the ground here is that gastroenteritis has laid low Kevin Kampl and Julian Brandt, two key performers in recent weeks. That said, with Stefan Kießling, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez and Hakan Calhanoglu, today’s visitors still boast plenty of firepower.
15:01 - Emotions building at the BORUSSIA-PARK
Daniel Thacker, bundesliga.com's roving reporter, has sent this in from Mönchengladbach: "There’s already a cracking noise here in a baking Mönchengladbach as the home fans prepare for a season-defining afternoon. It’s bound to be emotional before kick-off as Martin Stranzl, Roel Brouwers and Havard Nordtveit - among others - are set to bid farewell after years of fine service."
14:43 - Confirmed line-ups
14:08 - Form books favour Schalke
Huge game for top-four hopefuls Schalke at home to relegation-threatened Augsburg this afternoon. The Royal Blues lost 2-1 in Augsburg on Matchday 16, but have won their last four at the VELTINS Arena against the Bavarian club.
13:56 - Ominous pattern
Crop circles, artistic license on the part of the Ingolstadt groundsmen or a title omen? You decide.
13:47 - Star-spangled superstar
Christian Pulisic could feature for Dortmund against Frankfurt today. The USMNT international has been making waves in the Bundesliga in 2016.
13:30 - Christensen set on fourth
If Andreas Christensen has his way, it'll be Gladbach joining Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen in the Champions League next season.
13:15 - Four teams, one place
Will it be Gladbach, Hertha, Schalke or Mainz taking their place in the Champions League play-off round?
12:35 - Fourth meets third
Bayer Leverkusen may have already locked down a third-placed finish, but that does not mean they will be going easy on Borussia Mönchengladbach today. Get the lowdown on the clash between the Rhineland rivals right here.
11:58 - Kovac goes atomic
Head coach Niko Kovac of relegation-threatened Eintracht Frankfurt has called on his players to use "every atom of energy out on the pitch" at home to Borussia Dortmund as the Eagles attempt to pull clear of the relegation zone. "We can only match them if we play as a unit," the former Croatia boss continued.
