Berlin, Nov. 28 -- German giants Bayern Munich defended their top spot after carving out a hard-earned 1-0 win over resilient Arminia Bielefeld on the sole goal from Leroy Sane at the 13th round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

The "Bavarians" took the reins from the starting whistle and pressed Bielefeld into the defence.

Bayern created several chances in the opening stages as Muller headed narrowly wide in the 6th minute before Alphonso Davies unleashed a dangerous shot from close range with 15 minutes gone.

The hosts overran Arminia's defence, but Bayern remained wasteful as neither Sane nor Robert Lewandowski could beat visitor's goalkeeper Bielefeld Stefan Ortega despite promising chances.
