BERLIN -- Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski equaled the Bundesliga record of 40 goals in a season and Augsburg, Mainz and Hertha Berlin all clinched survival in the penultimate round on Saturday.
That was enough for Hertha to move to four points clear of the relegation zone, ensuring its survival after a season that didn't go to plan. Hertha had been targeting European qualification. Bayer Leverkusen qualified for the Europa League after drawing with Union Berlin 1-1. Union capitalized on Borussia M?nchengladbach losing at home to Stuttgart 2-1 to move to seventh, which would secure qualification for the Conference League, UEFA's new third-tier European competition.Bayern's players, substitutes and team staff formed a guard of honor for Lewandowski to run through after he tied Muller's 49-year-old record with a penalty in the 26th minute in Freiburg.
