BERLIN — Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich has squandered a two-goal lead and slumped to a 3-2 loss at home to struggling Bochum on Saturday, but Bayer Leverkusen was unable to take advantage. Leverkusen has lost 2-0 at home to Werder Bremen, a team that had lost its previous five games across all competitions. Borussia Dortmund lost 1-0 at home to Augsburg, Stuttgart was held to a 2-2 draw by Holstein Kiel, and Wolfsburg drew with St. Pauli 1-1. Freiburg has drawn with Leipzig 0-0 in the late game, denting their hopes of Champions League qualification. Both needed a win to keep pace with Mainz, which won Friday to boost its qualification prospects.
