It is only the third defeat suffered by Borussia this championship season, after the two failures in the duels with the Bavarians.
Exactly two months ago, Leverkusen also prevailed in Dortmund, with the same score, 1-0, in a German Cup match. The victory achieved now strengthens the position of the “aspirins” in the fight for qualification for the Champions League.

Bayern Munich is the clear leader, with 73 points after 28 games, 9 more than Borussia, and the distance can increase to 12, if Kompany's team prevails on the field of St. Pauli.
The podium is completed by Leipzig, which has 56 points. There are only 5 stages left until the end of the season.
In relegation, Heidenheim is close to Zweite, while Wolfsburg, St. Pauli, Koln, Bremen and Monchengladbach are trembling.
