BERLIN, March 19 (Xinhua) -- Thomas Mueller's lone goal helped front-runners Bayern Munich to beat Monchengladbach 1-0 and Schalke overcame Mainz 1-0 thanks to the decider from Sead Kolasinac at the closer of the 25th round on Sunday.
Bayern Munich increased their advantage to 13 points atop the standings after securing the 19th win of the season, and the fourth in a row.
The German giants controlled the proceedings from the kick-off against passive Borussia Monchengladbach, who focussed on their defence.
However, the "Bavarians" had to wait just before the break to work out their first promising opportunity as Arjen Robben unleashed a curl shot from the edge of the box, which rattled the right post.
Robert Lewandowski almost headed in the rebound but Monchengladbach goalie Yann Sommer defused the effort with a reflex save from close range.
After the restart, Bayern started where they left off whereas Monchengladbach's bulwark was able to stand firm against the furious attacks.
Nevertheless, the visitors eventually broke the deadlock with 63 minutes into the encounter as Thiago Alcantara's pass into path allowed Thomas Mueller to beat onrushing Sommer from inside the box.
The "Foals" tried to respond but they failed to seriously threat Bayern's defence in the closing period.
With the narrow win, Bayern make a big step towards their title defence as they sit 13 points adrift of runner up Leipzig. Monchengladbach lost their 11th game of the season to slip to the 10th place of the table.
