Borussia Dortmund kept their top four hopes alive with a 2-0 victory at St Pauli while surprise team Mainz climbed into fourth with an impressive 2-1 at RB Leipzig on Saturday in the Bundesliga. Serhou Guirassy in the 51st and Karim Adeyemi seven minutes later secured a second straight win for Dortmund which boosted morale for next week's Champions League last 16 match against French side Lille.

Šeško’s second-half spot-kick proved enough to clinch a 1-0 victory, sending die Roten Bullen into the semi-finals with Arminia Bielefeld, Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen.
