Timo Werner scores on his return to the Bundesliga, but RB Leipzig still doesn’t win against 1. FC Köln. Schalke spoils the possible dream start for Gladbach.
Timo Werner’s comeback goal didn’t help RB Leipzig to their first win of the season in the Bundesliga either.
The national striker scored the lead on his return in the home game against 1. FC Köln (36th minute), but in the end the Saxons had to settle for a 2-2 (1-1) outnumbered. The cup winner has only two points after two games.
Meanwhile, Hertha BSC missed a liberation after the derby bankruptcy at the start of the season against Union Berlin and the end of the first round of the DFB Cup. In the home game against Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt, the capital club drew 1-1 (1-0) and is still waiting for its first win under new coach Sandro Schwarz.
Late S04 compensation
FC Schalke 04 spoiled Borussia Mönchengladbach’s potential jump to the top of the table under new coach Daniel Farke. With the late 2:2 (1:0) the promoted team prevented the second win of the season for the club from the Lower Rhine. Marius Bülter equalized in the third minute of added time with a converted hand penalty and secured the first Schalke point.
Next setback for Leverkusen
Champions League starter Bayer Leverkusen suffered a second setback with the disappointing 1: 2 (1: 1) against relegation candidate FC Augsburg. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim got the first three points thanks to a hard-fought 3-2 (2-2) win over VfL Bochum. Werder Bremen came late in the first home game after promotion against VfB Stuttgart to a 2: 2 (1: 1).
Marvin Schwäbe helped a lot with Werner’s goal. The FC goalkeeper let the ball slip after an actually harmless long-range shot by the attacker changed from Chelsea. In Florian Dietz (40th), the striker, who is to replace Anthony Modeste, who has moved to Borussia Dortmund, provided the Cologne equalizer.
RB outnumbered for a long time
RB was outnumbered for a half after the red card because of an assault by Dominik Szoboszlai (45+1). Nevertheless, Christopher Nkunku managed to make it 2-1 (56th), before an own goal by Josko Gvardiol (72nd) marked the final score.
Herthan’s willingness to make amends was clearly evident, Suat Serdar rewarded the bold initial phase with the 1-0 (3rd minute). Three days after the 2-0 defeat in the European Supercup against Real Madrid, Frankfurt needed some time to start, but they still managed to make it 1-1 (48th) thanks to Daichi Kamada.
Bremen’s newcomer secures a late point win
In Bremen, the hosts took the initiative from the start and deservedly took the lead through Niclas Füllkrug (4th). However, Stuttgart struck back through Wataru Endo (38′) and Silas (77′). New signing Oliver Burke equalized for Bremen in added time (90’+5′).
Leverkusen, with substitute goalkeeper Andrej Lunew replacing Lukas Hrádecký, who was suspended, slept through the early stages and fell behind with a goal from Augsburg’s Fredrik Jensen (15′). Charles Aranguiz (43′) equalized before the break, but André Hahn scored to make it 2-1 (82′) for FCA.
A lively game developed in Sinsheim right from the start. The 2-0 lead of Bochum thanks to a double strike from Simon Zoller (10th and 13th) turned Hoffenheim through goals from Christoph Baumgartner (15th), Ozan Kabak (23rd) and Munas Dabbur (88th). TSG professional Andrej Kramaric missed a penalty after an hour.
