  "account": "Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund maintained a tight lead at the top of the German Bundesliga after both secured victories on Saturday. The two sides, who finished in a 2-2 draw last week, are tied on 21 points with Bayern edging ahead on goal difference after nine matches. A stoppage-time goal from Phillip Tietz proved insufficient for Mainz to mount a comeback as Bayern claimed their third win in seven Bundesliga games. In Dortmund, Felix Nmecha scored twice as the visitors triumphed over Elversberg, but a late Noel Futkeu goal kept the hosts in a tense situation. Stuttgart claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Werder Bremen, with Maximilian Mittelstaedt netting the only goal in the first half. Meanwhile, Leipzig bounced back from a poor start to beat Augsburg 5-2, extending their winning streak at home to five matches.",
  "summary": "Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund both secured 2-1 wins over Mainz and Elversberg respectively, leaving them level on 21 points.",
