The German soccer record champions Bayern Munich celebrated a late work victory against feared opponents Borussia Mönchengladbach when sports director Christoph Freund made his debut. Coach Thomas Tuchel’s team came from a 1-0 deficit at the break in Gladbach on Saturday and deservedly won 2-1. ÖFB team player Konrad Laimer came back into play as a right-back immediately after the half-time break and showed a strong performance.
On the other side, Laimer’s ÖFB teammate Maximilian Wöber provided the assist for the opening goal. The Gladbachers scored after half an hour with a header from Ko Itakura, before Wöber had ideally extended a corner kick with a header. Bayern put Gladbach under intense pressure in the second half and celebrated their third win in three games after goals from Leroy Sané (58′) and Mathys Tel (87′).
Bayer Leverkusen is also flawless and took the lead with a 5-1 (1-1) home win over newly promoted Darmstadt. New signing Victor Boniface (21′, 61′), Exequiel Palacios (49′), Jonas Hofmann (68′) and Adam Hlozek (84′) scored for the Werkself.
Darmstadt, whose 1-1 equalizer prepared for Oscar Vilhelmsson with a relegated header from a free kick by Christoph Klarer (24 ‘), is still pointless at the bottom. Leverkusen, on the other hand, goes into the international break with confidence and thus into the duel with Bayern immediately afterwards. Munich are currently in second place behind Leverkusen due to the slightly worse goal difference. Union Berlin could draw level with the top duo on Sunday (5:30 p.m.) with a home win against RB Leipzig.
In the mood to score, VfB Stuttgart presented themselves 5-0 (3-0) over SC Freiburg. Chris Führich (8th, 62nd), Serhou Guirassy (17th, 19th) and Enzo Millot (75th) inflicted the first defeat on the guests, VfB now has six points like the losers. Philipp Lienhart played through for Freiburg, Michael Gregoritsch was substituted at half-time, Junior Adamu was still missing. The striker also made his season debut for Freiburg’s second team in the third division on Saturday after suffering injury problems.
VfL Wolfsburg, on the other hand, dropped points for the first time in the 1: 3 (1: 1) at TSG Hoffenheim. Ex-Wolfsburg player John Anthony Brooks (45+2) was able to equalize the VfL lead through Tiago Tomas (36) before the break. Goals from Maximilian Beier (60′) and Robert Skov (75′) finally turned the game around. Florian Grillitsch played through for TSG, while VfL attacker Patrick Wimmer was temporarily out due to illness.
Werder Bremen celebrated their first points of the season with a 4-0 (1-0) win over Mainz. Marvin Ducksch, who was fouled, got the home side off to a flying start with a penalty in the third minute, and Jens Stage (53′) and Justin Njinmah (84′) made it even better shortly after the break. Romano Schmid, who, like Marco Friedl, played through for Bremen, gave the assist at the end of the game. On the side of Mainz, who still have only one point on their account, Karim Onisiwo was there until the end and Philipp Mwene until the 67th minute.
In Augsburg, the hosts and VfL Bochum drew 2-2 (1-1). Kevin Stöger provided the assist to the final score by Bochum’s Takuma Asano (64th). Both teams hold on two points each.
