A clinical Monchengladbach opened the round with a 4-0 win over Wolfsburg, allowing them to leapfrog Wolfsburg in the league standings with the same points.

Dortmund followed their Der Klassiker defeat with another league loss. Serhou Guirassy scored the game-winning penalty in the 83rd minute, giving Stuttgart their first league win in two games.
Bochum and FC Koln remain with one win each after sharing the points in a 1-1 draw.

Three second-half goals, in addition to Alex Grimaldo’s first-half game-winning goal, helped Leverkusen secure a comfortable 4-0 win over Union Berlin, maintaining their position at the top. This result marked Union Berlin’s ninth consecutive league defeat out of their 11 league games.
Werder Bremen squandered a two-goal lead, settling for a point at home against
Frankfurt. On the balance of play, it was a fair outcome.
