1. FC Köln also have to worry after the 0-1 (0-0) against VfB Stuttgart.
In addition, SC Freiburg lost 1-0 (0-0) against 1. FC Union Berlin, who scored three points for the first time after five games without a win.
In Frankfurt, Bayern were, as on Monday, 3: 3 against Bielefeld at the break with 0: 2 behind.

The many failures made themselves felt at Bayern.
Thomas Müller and Benjamin Pavard were absent due to a corona infection, Serge Gnabry and Corentin Tolisso are injured and Leon Goretzka and Javi Martinez, who have just returned from a corona infection, were not yet an issue for the starting XI.
It was also turbulent in Gladbach.
As in the last few weeks, Mainz turned out to be an unpleasant opponent for the supposedly large teams.
Karim Onisiwo put the guests in the lead in the tenth minute.
Lars Stindl managed to equalize shortly afterwards (26th), after a penalty had been revoked after video evidence.
Kevin Stöger took care of the final Gladbach knockout four minutes before the end.
In Cologne, Sasa Kalajdzic (49th) made the VfB victory perfect.
For FC it was the seventh home defeat of the season.
At Union, Grischa Prömel (64th) was the match winner.
