FC Augsburg – Bayer Leverkusen 1: 4 (1: 2)
Bayer Leverkusen has taken over the top position in the Bundesliga, at least for the time being.

Czech European Championship participant Patrik Schick (75th) with a fine shot from 16 meters and Florian Wirtz (81st) removed the last doubts about the away win.

1. FC Köln also continued their successful start to the season with the late 2-1 (0-0) against newly promoted VfL Bochum with new coach Steffen Baumgart.

Substitute Louis Schaub (82nd minute) and Tim Lemperle (90th + 1) ensured the deserved victory over Bochum. Former FC professional Simon Zoller (90 + 4) only made the connection.
Arminia Bielefeld – Eintracht Frankfurt 1: 1 (0: 1)
The shock moment on the Bielefelder Alm was Jacob Laursen’s injury. After a clash in the 57th minute with his goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, the Dane was left in the penalty area and had to be taken to a hospital. A ruff was put on him while he was still on the square. To be on the safe side, the cervical spine should be checked in the CT, said the Arminia. In terms of sport, Bielefeld was able to rejoice late: Patrick Wimmer (86.) prevented the first league success of Frankfurt Eintracht this season with his equalization. Jens Petter Hauge’s second goal of the season (22nd) was not enough for Hessen. The Arminen played a draw in their third game for the third time.
