With the seventh goal of the German football league season, striker Patrik Schick decided to win Leverkusen 1-0 on the Mönchengladbach field. In the 24th round, Bayer won after five competitive matches and exactly a month later.
Pavel Kadeřábek helped Hoffenheim win 2: 1 over Wolfsburg with two assists. Vladimír Darida again prepared Hertha Berlin’s first goal in a 2: 1 victory over Augsburg. At least until the evening duel between Bayern and Dortmund, Leipzig took the lead in the table, beating Freiburg 3-0.
Schick had the opportunity to score in the first half when he hit Moussa Diaby’s shot, but he was not successful until the 76th minute. After another Diaby penetration, the goalkeeper kicked the ball in front of him and Schick shoved a goalless. Borussia has been waiting for a league victory for six matches.
Kadeřábek first drew attention to himself after eight minutes of play, when he threw the ball on the wing to the weaker left leg and found Christoph Baumgartner in the center, who sent Hoffenheim into the lead with a shot under the crossbar. The fourth best scorer of the Bundesliga, Wout Weghorst, equalized with the fifteenth goal of the season, but shortly before the half Kadeřábek prepared the answer again. This time, Ihlas Bebou missed the bouncing ball from the right foot, and the running Andrej Kramarič did not hit the ball.
Herthy lost to Augsburg at home from the second minute, but after an hour of play, Darida began to turn around. The guests let the Czech midfielder run into the high ball behind the defense and centered almost from the goal line at the ending Krzysztof Piatek. Dodi Lukebakio decided a penalty 87 minutes into the game. Augsburg joined without Tomáš Koubek and Marek Suchý, both of whom remained unused substitutes.
With a smooth win, Leipzig stretched the winning league line to six matches. Christopher Nkunku took care of it, and after the change of sides Alexander Sörloth and Emil Forsberg. With a one-point lead, the “Red Bulls” will wait for Bayern’s answer in the league hit with Dortmund.
