Borussia Dortmund surprisingly loses in Freiburg, promoted Bochum celebrates its first victory. This is how the Bundesliga went on Saturday afternoon.
Cup winners Borussia Dortmund also disappointed in the Bundesliga four days after going bankrupt in the Supercup against FC Bayern. BVB lost 1: 2 (0: 1) at SC Freiburg on Saturday. On the other hand, promoted VfL Bochum celebrated a 2: 0 (1: 0) against FSV Mainz 05 on their home comeback : 2 (0: 0) against VfL Wolfsburg. Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Augsburg split goalless.
Vincenzo Grifo (6th minute) gave the sports club the lead with a wonderful free kick from a central position. BVB pushed for the equalizer, but Roland Sallai (53rd) closed a counterattack to make it 2-0 for Freiburg. An own goal by Yannik Keitel (59th) brought Dortmund, but was not enough.
Promoted Bochum celebrates first victory
In Bochum, Gerrit Holtmann (21st) was successful after a strong solo against Mainz who were still decimated after corona cases. The 26-year-old scored the first Bochum Bundesliga goal since May 2010 against his former club. Newcomer Sebastian Polter (56th) scored the second goal.
Hertha had a very difficult time against Wolfsburg, accompanied by rumors of change about Matheus Cunha, who was not in the squad. The penalty whistle from referee Robert Schröder after a foul initially helped the hosts: Dodi Lukébakio (60th) did not miss the chance. But Ridle Baku (74th) and Lukas Nmecha (88th) turned the game.
For SpVgg, Dickson Abiama had a great chance to take the lead for the newcomer, but the 22-year-old missed the goal (43.). A little later Fabian Klos (45th) was successful for the guests with the head. Branimir Hrgota (50.) made the equalizer with a penalty. Bielefeld’s Alessandro Schöpf saw yellow-red after a tactical foul (68th).
