2023-09-04 12:24:28

Who shined, who fell off? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.

???????? Bundesliga

Dortmund leads 2-0 against Heidenheim after 15 minutes, but still leaves points against the promoted team. Shortly after the break, Kobel prevented the goal with a strong save, which then came in the 61st minute. In the 82nd minute Kobel had to fish the ball out of the net a second time after a penalty. The fact that BVB only has 5 points after three rounds is certainly not due to the Swiss national goalie.

The captain misses the game against Bayern Munich (1: 2) due to recurring shoulder problems – the number 1 may even be out for months.

Transfer rumors about Elvedi have been circulating for weeks and so the long-time regular player was not even in the squad in the first few games. But nothing came of the change: “It wasn’t an easy time for me. It wasn’t meant to be,” he said after his short spell against Bayern Munich. But he is now looking ahead: “Now I’m here and I’m very happy. I want to give 100 percent.”

Bayer Leverkusen greets from the top after three games with the maximum number of points. The Werkself celebrate a 5-1 win against promoted Darmstadt 98. Xhaka is the thinker and leader in central midfield, he is still waiting for his first scorer point in the Leverkusen dress. In the 31st minute he was cautioned for the first time this season.

Augsburg plays against VfL Bochum 2:2. Vargas plays until the 78th minute but can’t play his way into the spotlight.

The ink on the contract is dry, but it’s not enough for a first assignment. Mbabu follows the game against Bochum from the stands.

Silvan Widmer is also absent from the third league game (0:4 against Werder Bremen) due to a foot injury.

In the clap against Bremen, Fernandes played through in central defense. He cannot advertise himself, but that also applies to all teammates.

Wolfsburg lost 3-1 against Hoffenheim after leading 1-0. Zesiger doesn’t make a buck, but the positional play is not beyond all doubt. There is still room for improvement.

Stojilkovic came on as a substitute against Leverkusen in the 58th minute when the score was 1-2. The hoped-for effect doesn’t materialize, because he doesn’t score any goals, but it hits the back three times.

As in the previous week against Dortmund (1-1), Loosli will not play against Augsburg (2-2).

???????? 2. Bundesliga

Tabakovic is running hot and marks the second brace in a row, he also added an assist in both games. The emotional world of the Hertha striker is completely different than after the 5-0 win last week. Because after the supposed liberation, the relegated loses against Magdeburg 4: 6 despite the strong playing Tabakovic. Particularly bitter: Hertha took the lead four times.

???????????????????????????? Premier League

Manchester City beat Fulham 5-1, Akanji plays the full distance. The really big figure is Erling Haaland, who prepares the 1-0 and then scores a hat trick. Here are the highlights.

Newcastle lost 3-1 to Brighton. At the third goal, Schär is shot down and deflects the shot so untenably.

In the 5-2 draw against Tottenham, Amdouni was substituted after an hour when the score was 3-1. This means that the ex-FCB clipper remains without a goal in his third league appearance. But he hasn’t completely forgotten how to score goals: During the week he shot Burnley as a joker in the League Cup for a 1-0 win over Nottingham.

The 24-year-old does not get a chance at Brighton, does not even make it into the squad.

???????????????????????????? Championship

In the disappointing 2-1 defeat by Rotherham, Fassnacht scored the goal five minutes after the break. He is substituted in the 77th minute.

???????? Serie A

Inter beat Fiorentina 4-0, leaving Sommer without a goal in their third league game. In addition to Inter, only city rivals AC Milan are still without a loss point after three rounds.

Okafor made his third brief appearance as a substitute in the 2-1 win against AS Roma and is still awaiting his first goal. In the 7th minute of stoppage time he sees yellow.

AS Roma – AC Milan 1:2

01.09.2023

Remo Freuler is leaving Nottingham and moving back to Serie A, signing for Bologna. He is not yet in the 2-1 win against Cagliari.

Aebischer is now an undisputed regular at Bologna. In the 2-1 win against Cagliari he provided stability in defensive midfield.

The 22-year-old was substituted in the 67th minute when the score was 1-1, but he didn’t tear the ropes.

Torino beat Genoa 1-0 thanks to a goal in the 4th minute of added time. In the 89th minute, Rodriguez, acting as a central defender, prepares a top chance with a tailored cross.

Hefti came on in the 87th minute when the score was 0-0 and is not entirely innocent of the bankruptcy. The 25-year-old is demoted from the scorer to a slalom pole. It was already dangerous on his side.

Hellas Verona lost 3-1 away at Sassuolo. Kevin Rüegg is still on the injured list.

???????? LaLiga

A severe storm was announced for the Spanish capital Madrid, which also has consequences for LaLiga: The game Atlético Madrid against FC Sevilla was canceled.

???????? Ligue 1

After four rounds, Monaco leads the Ligue 1 table with 10 points. Köhn is already celebrating his third clean sheet against Lens. Despite strong performances, he is not called up for the national team, which shows how strong Switzerland is in the goalie position.

Zakaria came on in the 74th minute and nothing changed in the result.

Breel Embolo tore his cruciate ligament in August and will be out for a long time.

Lorient loses against Le Havre 0:3. Mvogo is powerless when it comes to conceding goals.

Sierro plays in central midfield in the 2-2 win against Clermont Foot. A goal in the 6th minute of added time cost Toulouse the victory.

In the 2-0 win against Strasbourg, Lotomba came on in the 69th minute when the score was 1-0. Lotomba is not decisive for the game.

Omeragic is in the starting XI for the first time, and Lille scores the only goal of the game from a free kick in the second minute. Deep in stoppage time, Omeragic sees the yellow card.

After moving from Valencia to Nantes, Cömert is in the starting XI at the first opportunity. It was 1-1 against Marseille.

Nantes – Marseille 1:1

???????? Major League Soccer

Shaqiri only came on at half-time against DC United, when it was already 0-3. In the end it was a painful 0: 4 bankruptcy, Shaqiri himself caused danger one time or another as a foreman. As of now, Chicago would miss the playoffs like they did last season.

Maren Haile-Selassie comes on in the first half, then makes way for Shaqiri.

St. Louis lost 2-1 to Kansas City but continued to lead the Western Conference. Bürki shows a top parade in the first half, he is not to blame for the goals conceded.

???????? Bundesliga

Sturm Graz celebrates their 5th victory in the 6th round and is still undefeated. As in the previous games, Wüthrich plays the full distance in central defence.

???????? Super League 1

AEK Athens celebrates a 3-2 away win against Volos NPS. Zuber scored the interim 2:1. The 32-year-old was substituted in the 68th minute.

???????? SuperSport HNL

Drmic came on in the 72nd minute when the score was 1:2, and in the end he left the field as the winner. He was not directly involved in the two goals on the way to the 3-2 victory over Osijek.

Pusic comes on a few minutes after Drmic but has no reason to celebrate. He comes in when the score is 2-1, but leaves the field as a loser.

???????? UAE Pro League

In the cup, Al-Wasl celebrates a 7-0 win against Hatta Club. Seferovic, who is allowed to play as a center forward up to the 69th minute, manages to contribute to 0 goals. Could go better, but the main thing is that the team wins.
