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.
3) Cologne power football inspires the fans
1. FC Köln is fun again this season and inspires its fans with fighting spirit and the will to win. The “billy goats” turned a 0: 1 deficit against SpVgg Greuther Fürth at the start of the 7th match day and in the end deservedly won 3: 1 in their own stadium. Ellyes Skhiri in particular impressed with his willingness to run and the sprint in the 89th minute, which should make everything clear with the goal afterwards. “Ellyes is the greatest professional I know,” said Rafael Czichos after the game in a more than deserved hymn of praise for Skhiri. “He works so hard every day, twice as much as everyone else,” he said at DAZN. “He throws himself into every duel. He can also play football too well.”

In the first half, FC was still behind its strong form so far and was lucky not to fall even further behind. Steffen Baumgart’s half-time speech seemed to have worked wonders again, because the team promptly took control of the game in the second round and turned through Sebastian Andersson (1: 1, 50th), and Ellyes Skhiri (2: 1, 55th and 3 : 1, 89.) the game. It was not for nothing that the 40,000 registered fans chanted “Steffen Baumgart will be Chancellor!” in the stadium. Despite this euphoria, the FC coach always wants to calm the minds so that the team does not stand out too much: “It is important that you work your way through difficult phases. Nevertheless, we know that we still have a long way to go” said Baumgart. As a reward, he gave the team free until Tuesday in order to then relax and prepare for TSG Hoffenheim, which is waiting for FC after the international break.

4) Dortmund is climbing
Borussia Dortmund successfully mastered the English Week without top striker Erling Haaland. BVB won both in the Champions League against Sporting Lisbon (1-0) on Tuesday and on the 7th Bundesliga matchday at home against FC Augsburg (2-1), thus collecting important points for the top ranks. Even if the black and yellow had to tremble unnecessarily long under the eyes of Haaland, who was sitting in the stands, they celebrated a deserved victory against fighting Fuggerstadters in the end. Raphael Guerreiro gave BVB the lead with a penalty (1-0, 10th) and thus extended his personal record of three goals after seven match days. Andi Zeqiri equalized for FCA in the meantime (1: 1, 35th), but Julian Brandt scored the winning goal with a nice long shot in the 51st minute of the game (2: 1, 51st).
“Personally, I was even a bit annoyed that we didn’t score the third goal. A little was missing in between the cleanliness. Thorgan Hazard and Marco Reus still had good chances, I mean. If they make their stalls, it looks good and we don’t have the stress until the 90th minute, “said goal scorer Brandt after the game. The 25-year-old scored four goals in his last six Bundesliga games against Augsburg (three of them for Dortmund). The match winner added after the exhausting game added: “Of course it was an intense game. The players also noticed the game against Lisbon. It was a show of strength, but we pulled it off well. “
The entire team is rewarded for the perfect BVB week and the counters gained as a result. Now you can prepare for the next opponent from Mainz after the international break. The 05er will by no means make things easier for Dortmund, but maybe top striker Haaland will be on the pitch again.
