BERLIN, May 6 -- Bayern Munich sealed Darmstadt's relegation after Juan Bernat scored the only goal of the match and Dortmund defeated Hoffenheim 2-0 at the top clash of the 32nd round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

Newly crowned champions Bayern Munich showed no mercy as Juan Bernat's sole goal sealed Darmstadt's relegation into the second division with two rounds to spare.

Despite having wrapped up their fifth successive Bundesliga title last week Bayern took the reins from the kick off against bottom dwelling Darmstadt, who postponed their relegation with three straight wins in the last games.

The visitors defended well but were unable to prevent the German record champions from breaking the deadlock with 18 minutes into the clash. Franck Ribery dribbled his way through the right wing before passing into path of Bernat, who slotted home with the outside of his boot from inside the box.

Carlo Ancelotti's men controlled the proceedings on the pitch comfortably yet they were unable to extend their lead despite promising opportunities.

Darmstadt eventually had the chance to restore parity out of the blue but Hamit Altintop failed to convert an awarded foul-play penalty as substitute goalie Tom Starke denied with a diving safe in the 86th minute.

With the result, front-runners Bayern wrap up their 23rd win of the season whereas Darmstadt suffered their 22nd loss.

Borussia Dortmund set the course for a direct UEFA Champions League qualification after ousting Hoffenheim from the 3rd place in the standings following a 2-1 win.
