Bayer Leverkusen kept pace with Bundesliga leader Borussia Dortmund on Saturday with a hard fought 1-0 win at St. Pauli to leapfrog Mainz badly in second place.
Renato Augusto scored the winning goal in the 81st minutes of the third-place Bayer Leverkusen, who moved to 24 points from 12 games to remain seven behind Dortmund.
"The victory was a bit lucky if you look only at the second half," midfielder Simon Rolfes Leverkusen said.
"But in the first half of the victory was well deserved. We missed a chance to take the lead and it was harder than it should have been." Mainz lost 1-0 at home against Hanover 10-man to stay within 24 points, but falling to third place behind Leverkusen on goal scored.
Fourth place Eintracht Frankfurt also lost ground after being held 0-0 by Werder Bremen. Frankfurt remained at 20 points in fourth place after extending their unbeaten run to seven games.
