LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) -Leon Goretzka's first-half goal was enough to give Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich a crucial 1-0 victory at second-placed RB Leipzig on Saturday, as they opened up a seven-point lead at the top and edged closer to a ninth straight league crown.

Their fifth straight league win lifted Bayern, who face Paris St Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, to 64 points.
