Bastian Schweinsteiger's late goal inched Bayern Munich closer to their third straight Bundesliga title Saturday.

Bayern struggled for large parts of the afternoon as they attempted to break down a stubborn Hertha Berlin outfit. They finally broke the deadlock with 10 minutes remaining thanks to a clever dummy that set Schweinsteiger up for the goal.

Mitchell Weiser orchestrated the buildup after his elusive run allowed enough space to send a low cross into the box with three targets at his disposal.

Robert Lewandowski initially appeared to be the recipient of the cross, but the Polish international smoothly pulled off a dummy, allowing the ball to roll to an open Schweinsteiger for the powerful finish.

Bayern will have to wait until Sunday to find out their fate, as a Wolfsburg loss will guarantee a 25th Bundesliga title for the storied franchise.
