“We already knew that we could come back before the game. We didn’t just know that we have to come back often at the moment,” said Thomas Müller, summarizing the situation of Bayern after the 3: 3 game against RB Leipzig come together. The Munich team fell behind twice, with the defensive again not always being firm, and in the end Müller secured a point and the championship lead with his second goal of the day.
Although the Leipzig team missed the victory, they weren’t angry about the result: “It was great to be on the pitch,” said Emil Forsberg. “You live for games like this.”
Leverkusen clearly superior to Schalke
After sharing the points in Munich, Bayer 04 Leverkusen took the opportunity and climbed to second place with a 3-0 away win against Schalke 04, past Leipzig. The team of coach Peter Bosz is only one point behind the Munich team. The Werkself were clearly superior in Gelsenkirchen, but kept the game against committed Schalke players open for a long time because several great opportunities were not used. “I think we knew exactly what to expect today,” said Leverkusen’s midfielder Julian Baumgartlinger afterwards. “That’s why it was important to perform like we did in the first quarter of an hour. We could have scored one or two more goals – if not even had to – then the game would of course have been easier.”
Instead, Schalke even had the opportunity to get back into the game in the middle of the second half when the score was 2-0, but Steven Skrzybski missed a penalty kick and the chase ended before it even started. Leverkusen are still undefeated after ten games, Schalke meanwhile without a win for 26 Bundesliga games.
Dortmund stumbles in Frankfurt too
Borussia Dortmund also benefited from the draw between the leaders and the runner-up. However, the black and yellow managed not to win again a week after the home defeat against Cologne. At Eintracht Frankfurt there was a 1: 1. Once again, the injured striker Erling Haaland was sorely missed in Dortmund’s attacking game.

“You know how important Erling is. It is clear that we are missing his runs in the center up front,” said BVB coach Lucien Favre. “We can’t always win 3-0 or 4-0. We have to accept that.”
Gladbach’s Freiburg series remains
Borussia Mönchengladbach also had to accept that it is difficult to win in Freiburg. At the sports club, coach Marco Rose’s team didn’t get more than 2-2 – Borussia won their last away win in March 2002. “Basically, I can live with the point,” said Rose and handed out compliments to the opponent. “Hats off to Freiburg, it was always a tough game here.”
VfB Stuttgart prevailed at Werder Bremen with a 2-1 win. Man of the game – both positive and negative – was Stuttgart’s Silas Wamangituka. Although he scored both VfB goals, he waited provocatively long for the second goal when he ran alone towards the empty Bremen goal and stopped again in front of the line before he net. The Congolese saw the yellow card for this unsportsmanlike conduct.
Bielefeld wins, Wolfsburg still undefeated
Relegation candidate FSV Mainz 05 struggled after losing 2-1 to promoted Arminia Bielefeld and suffering a bitter defeat against a direct competitor.

VfL Wolfsburg remained unbeaten, falling twice behind in a 2-2 draw at 1. FC Köln and twice equalizing. “If we’re a top team, we have to win this game. And we didn’t do that,” said VfL striker Wout Weghorst, who was still unsatisfied with the goal scorer to make it 2-2, despite ten unbeaten games at the start of the season Club record mean.
Union: Derby lost, Kruse injured
The 10th matchday was very bitter for FC Union Berlin. In the city derby at Hertha BSC, the “Iron” lost 3-1 and ended up on the loser road after a red card against defender Robert Andrich and two avoidable mistakes by goalkeeper Andreas Luthe. In addition, Max Kruse, Union’s best offensive player, had to be replaced with a muscle torn in his thigh.
