Heindenheim blew a 2-goal lead at home to suffer a defeat to Hoffenheim in their last game, but this time around, they came from 2 goals down to take a point in an away game against Borussia Dortmund. We are just three games into the season, and Dortmund isn’t looking like the team that will give Bayern Munich a run for the title as they did last season.
Takuma Asano scored two equalizing goals to get Bochum a point in Augsburg. It ended 2-2 and both teams remain without a league win.
It’s three wins in three for Leverkusen after thrashing newly-promoted Darmstadt by five goals to one. Victor Boniface scored two goals to take his personal tally to 4.
Wolfsburg lost their first game of the new season, while Hoffenheim doubled their wins.
Stuttgart recovered from last round’s ‘5-1’ defeat in Leipzig, with a ‘5-0’ home win over Freiburg.
Werder Bremen won their first game of the season by thrashing Mainz ‘4-0’.
Mathys Tel came off the bench in the 81st minute and scored an 87th minute game winner for Bayern Munich to come from behind and get a ‘2-1’ win against Monchegladbach. This is the first time Bayern Munich has beaten Monchengladbach in over two years, with Monchengladbach having the upper hand in this period.
A goal in the 87th minute ensured Frankfurt remained unbeaten in the league. Niels Nkounkou’s goal in the 87th minute gave Frankfurt a ‘1-1’ draw at home against FC Koln. The result handed FC Koln their first point of the new season.
