Bayern qualify to Champions League, Leipzig's hopes boosted

Bayern Munich have qualified to next season's Champions League with a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, while RB Leipzig's hopes to secure a spot in the tournament were boosted after a 4-1 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund.

Leipzig were hosting Dortmund and fell behind in the 20th minute after Jadon Sancho broke the deadlock for the guests. But the hosts got the equalizer just three minutes later, after a video assistant review confirmed Lois Openda's goal.

They had penalty call overturned in the 31st, but took the lead thanks to Benjamin Sesko shortly before the break. Mohamed Simakan in the 46th and Christoph Baumgartner in the 80th secured Leipzig the important three points.

Leipzig are fourth, the last spot for the Champions League, and now five points ahead of fifth-placed Dortmund.

Dortmund are in the semi-finals of this season's tournament against Paris Saint-Germain and could also qualify if they win the title.

In Munich, Harry Kane slotted the ball into the net to give Bayern the lead against Frankfurt in the ninth minute. But the visitors hit back in the 23rd with Hugo Ekitiké.

Kane and Bayern, however, had the final word and the England forward scored the winner from the spot int he 61st.

With the result and Dortmund's defeat, Bayern qualified for the Champions League. The Bavarians are also in the semi-finals this year and will face Real Madrid.

Elsewhere, Wolfsburg claimed a late 2-1 against 10-man Freiburg, who missed a penalty in the 87th, giving Maxence Lacroix the chance to score Wolfsburg's winner.

Werder Bremen, meanwhile, cruised to a 3-0 win at Augsburg.

Champions Bayer Leverkusen host third-placed VfB Stuttgart later.
