Union Berlin v Bayer Leverkusen LIVE! Bundesliga latest as Xabi Alonso's side close in on title

Not a game they will recall when celebrating the title, but this afternoon's events may lead to them being able to party sooner than expected.

Juranovic swings in a corner, but once more Leverkusen defend stoutly.

He was put through on goal and really should have squared to Boniface who was free, but the keeper saved a shot with his legs.

The substitute has maybe been one of the only threats this half. He raced down the right flank but then looked for a foul under a challenge from Grimaldo but the referee waved away his appeal. Hollerbach (as his name maybe suggests) is booked for dissent.

Remember at this stage last week Leverkusen were behind against Hoffenheim.

But he cannot direct it on target.

For a moment it looked like the ball would fall to the midfielder at the back post but the left-wing back made a good interception.

Leverkusen will hope the injury that sees him limping off is not serious.

Union Berlin's last replacement.

The live table has Leverkusen 16 points clear - meaning they could clinch the title next week.

He is likely to get the man of the match award. Tella cut in from the right flank and beat a man before aiming an effort inside the far post which Ronnow stopped. A save you would expect him to make, but a save nevertheless.

Their fans are Ole-ing. It is dangerous to say but they couldn't have had an easier second half here.

But Bayern have been pegged back at Heidenheim so they will potentially be 15 points ahead at the end of today, with just six games remaining.

The number nine returns to action for the visitors.

He is cautioned for a foul on Doekhli.

Making it a triple substitution.

Trimmel is replaced by Juranovic.

But he is denied by Ronnow at the near post.
