Apr 23, 2017 - 6:00 PM RB Leipzig missed the chance to close in on Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich by drawing 1-1 at Schalke 04 on Sunday and are eight points behind in second place with four matches left.Promoted Leipzig looked well on the way to cutting the lead of Bayern, who drew 2-2 at home to Mainz 05 on Saturday, back to six points when Timo Werner put them ahead after 14 minutes.
Werner beat defender Benedikt Hoewedes to the ball to head in and cap a strong start with his 17th goal of the campaign.
