RB Leipzig on Sunday somehow managed not to hit the net as they were held to a 0-0 home draw by Eintracht Frankfurt, which complicates their bid for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga, reported dpa.

New France call-up Christopher Nkunku went close on several occasions while Leipzig also hit the woodwork twice as they moved up to third, but only on goal difference from Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg.

Leverkusen can reclaim third spot with a point at Wolfsburg later.

Also on Sunday, Borussia Dortmund visit Cologne trying to cut Bayern Munich's seven-point lead after the champions beat Union Berlin 4-0 on Saturday.
