Franck Ribery's volley goal lifted Bayern 1-0 past Eintracht Frankfurt while Dortmund reaped a late 3-2 victory thanks to Adrian Ramos at the 28th round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

Front-runners Bayern Munich secured their five-point advantage, as Ribery's winner against Frankfurt was enough to clinch the 23rd win of the season.

The Bavarians controlled the proceedings from the starting whistle whereas Frankfurt kept all their men behind the ball. It was thus just a matter of time before the German giants would turn their dominance into goals.

With 20 minutes into the game, Bayern broke the deadlock as Ribery capitalized on rebound from Mario Goezte to beat Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky with a sideways scissor-kick from the edge of the box.

Bayern should have extended the lead but neither Xabi Alonso, who rattled the woodwork following a free kick, nor Thomas Mueller were able to get their names on the scoreboards.

With the result, Bayern maintain their five-point advantage to runners-up Dortmund with six games to spare. Meanwhile, Frankfurt stay on the penultimate position of the standings.

Second-placed Borussia Dortmund remain in hot pursuit of Bayern as the BVB carved out a 3-2 victory against resilient Werder Bremen.

Thomas Tuchel's men took over from the kick-off but Bremen's well-positioned defence neutralized nearly every effort in the first half. However, things changed after the restart as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lobbed the ball over onrushing Bremen custodian Felix Wiedwald to mark the opener in the 53rd minute.

It was a short-lived joy for the hosts as Bremen bounced back with the goals from Alejandro Galvez and Zlatko Junuzovic in a six-minute span. Dortmund remained unimpressed and restored parity through substitute Shinji Kagawa moments later.

The hosts had the last laugh after joker Adrian Ramos ensured the 3-2 lead to seal the deal in the 82nd minute.

Dortmund remain on the second place with a 19-point advantage to third-placed Berlin. Bremen continue on the 14th position and in touching distance to the drop zone.

Elsewhere, bottom team Hannover suffered their 21st loss of the season as Hamburg provided three second-half goals on the road.

Mainz overcame Augsburg 4-2 by courtesy of the braces from Pablo De Blasis and Christian Clemens.

Newly promoted Ingolstadt flabbergasted Schalke 3-0 and Darmstadt shared the spoil with Stuttgart following a two-all draw.

The following fixtures complete the 28th round in Bundesliga on Sunday: Monchengladbach host third-placed Berlin and relegation-threatened Hoffeheim see Cologne.
