Burly striker Raul Bobadilla broke Werder Bremen's hearts on Sunday with a 94th-minute winner to seal Augsburg's 3-2 comeback win and lift the Bavarians up the German league table.

The powerfully-built Paraguay international chested down a long ball from midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol and slammed his shot into the Bremen goal as Augsburg fought back with two goals in the final fifteen minutes.

Relegation-threatened Bremen had been heading for a valuable 2-1 win after Germany striker Max Kruse had converted a second-half penalty for Werder.

But South Korea's Koo put Augsburg level for the second time when the attacking midfielder fired home Paul Verhaegh's pass from close range to make it 2-2 with 11 minutes to go before Bobadilla struck.

The first-half had finished 1-1 after Augsburg midfielder Jonathan Schmid scored to cancel out Theodor Gebre Selassie's early goal for Bremen.

The result in Bavaria leaves Bremen 15th, only out of the bottom three on goal difference, while Augsburg climb three places to 10th.

It was another tough result for battling Bremen, who went down fighting in last Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to leaders Bayern Munich having lost by the same scoreline to Borussia Dortmund the week before.

Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern finish the weekend four points clear at the top of the league despite a disappointing display in Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to mid-table Schalke.

Robert Lewandowski's early goal for Bayern at Munich's Allianz Arena was cancelled out by a free-kick from Schalke's Brazil defender Naldo.

Bayern's cause was later helped when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted his 17th Bundesliga goal of the season in Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 win over second-placed RB Leipzig, who had been hit by flu.

Aubameyang remains two goals ahead of Bayern hot-shot Robert Lewandowski in the race to be the German league's top scorer thanks to his superb first-half winner.

The Gabon striker headed home after teenage French winger Ousmane Dembele ghosted past two RB defenders down the right wing and crossed for Aubameyang to head home unmarked on 35 minutes.

Leipzig struggled without top-scorer Timo Werner, midfielder Diego Demme and striker Marcel Sabitzer, who all have flu, while playmaker Emil Forsberg was suspended.

The result lifted Dortmund from seventh to third, eight points behind Leipzig.
