Berlin, April 9 (Ians) Youssoufa Moukoko’s decider helped Borussia Dortmund overpower Union Berlin 2-1 while Bayern Munich moved 1-0 past Freiburg thanks to the hammer from Matthijs de Ligt in the 27th round of the Bundesliga.
The Bvb controlled possession from the starting whistle, whereas Union implemented a wait-and-see strategy on Saturday night.

Union showed no interest to take over and were lucky in the closing stages of the first half as goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow defused Sebastien Haller’s dangerous header.

Berlin (Germany), Feb 26 (Ians) Julian Brandt’s sole goal was enough to lift Borussia Dortmund atop the Bundesliga standings after taking all three points following a 1-0 win at Hoffenheim in the 22nd round.
The Bvb caught a bright start on the road on Saturday night and came close with four minutes gone when Jamie Bynoe-Gittens forced Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann into action, reports news agency Xinhua.
Hoffenheim needed some time to grow into the game as Ozan Kabak headed narrowly wide from a promising position with 16 minutes played.
Dortmund posed more danger in front of the target and produced presentable chances, but Baumann was on guard to deny Sebastien Haller twice in quick succession at the half-hour mark.
Baumann was hapless as the visitors’ efforts got rewarded just before the break when Brandt tapped home Marco Reus’ pinpoint free kick.
Dortmund should have doubled its advantage but neither Reus...

Whether the iconic 37-year-old player will make a return to the starting eleven in the quarterfinals against Morocco on Saturday or will he be benched again remains to be seen but one individual who would like him to be confined to the bench is Morocco coach Walid Regragui.
Ronaldo was dropped by Fernando Santos after angering the Portugal coach with an exchange in their final World Cup group game against South Korea.
The absence of the former Manchester United striker was not felt against Switzerland with Goncalo Ramos replacing him and scoring a stunning hat-trick while Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro and Rafael Leao also found the net.
"I don’t know if Ronaldo will start. I hope he won’t. As a coach, I know he’s one of the best players in history. I’d be delighted if he didn’t play," Regragui, who coached a local Qatari side Al Duhail for a brief period,...
