Eintracht Frankfurt surprised with a win at Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund continues to climb and Simon Terodde hits historically in the 2nd Bundesliga – the topics of the Bundesliga weekend.

1) Trapp world class – Frankfurt defeats FC Bayern

When referee Florian Badstübner blew his whistle at the final whistle, the entire Frankfurter Bank stormed towards Kevin Trapp. The Hessen goalkeeper was instrumental in the surprising Eintracht win against FC Bayern Munich and parried brilliantly several times. “It was a lot of work, we defended very well. Not many believed that we could get something here. In the end, of course, there was a bit of luck in the game, it was very intense,” said Trapp after the game, who fought off at ten Shots on goal set his personal Bundesliga record and added: “We had a very difficult game on Thursday and played bravely against a strong Bayern Munich team and believed in us.”

Eintracht Frankfurt celebrated their first win of the season at FC Bayern, of all places – where the Adlerträger were able to win an away game for the first time in almost 21 years. In November 2000, Jan-Aage Fjörtoft scored the 2-1 winner in the Olympic Stadium.

“We’re going to Munich to win there. I want to see that in the eyes of the players,” head coach Oliver Glasner said before the game. The team was able to put this wish into practice and impressed with its fighting spirit and fast counter-football. Martin Hinteregger (1: 1, 32nd) responded to Leon Goretzka’s opening goal from the 29th minute with a header, Filip Kostic scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute.

“Bayern didn’t give us any air to breathe, it was very difficult for us. Fortunately, we were able to take advantage of our rare chances. Filip in particular did very well in his new position and helped us achieve success. The first win is great important for us, as we ran behind very often, “said Hinteregger.

In the eleventh competitive game under Julian Nagelsmann, FC Bayern conceded a defeat for the first time (previously a draw and nine wins). In addition, the record champions lost a Bundesliga home game for the first time since November 2019 (1: 2 against Leverkusen). In between there were 30 unbeaten Bundesliga home games in a row. Eintracht can now go into the international break a little more relaxed. The Hessians have been unbeaten for eight games (six draws, two wins) and, according to Hinteregger, “finally want to start a series”.

2) Furious foals beat vicious wolves

Borussia Mönchengladbach is slowly but surely getting rolling: Coach Adi Hütter’s team literally rolled over VfL Wolfsburg in the first few minutes: after only five minutes it was 1-0 when Breel Embolo transformed with an artistic overhead kick from close range. Less than 120 seconds later, Jonas Hofmann increased to 2-0 on a pass from the outstanding Swiss on Saturday. Luca Waldschmidt was able to shorten (25th), but Joe Scally scored the well-deserved 3-1 in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

The Gladbach team won their first away win of the season and also their second three-point in a row: After defeating a real Bundesliga heavyweight with Borussia Dortmund last week, they now beat the second German Champions League starter. The special thing about this success: The Hütters team was able to clinch their first victory at the Lower Saxony since 2003. In addition, the coach sent Gladbach’s youngest starting eleven onto the field for two years.

The newcomers Kouadio Kone (20 years old) and Luca Netz (18) were sent to the pitch right from the start, as were Jordan Beyer (21) and goalscorer Scally (18). The men from Hütter impressed with their fast and fluid attack game, repeatedly setting pinpricks against the physically strong wolves by counterattacking. Borussia’s upcoming opponents in the Bundesliga are VfB Stuttgart, Hertha BSC, VfL Bochum, Mainz 05 and Fürth. Until the derby against the strong 1. FC Köln, the Gladbachers can hold their own.
