Neither FC Bayern nor Union Berlin lead the Bundesliga. But SC Freiburg! The Breisgovians benefit from the draw in the top match on Saturday. RB Leipzig disappointed against strong Frankfurt.
After the fifth day of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern are no longer the leader of the table. SC Freiburg took top spot on Saturday with a 3-2 (0-1) win at Bayer Leverkusen. In the most important match of 1. FC Union Berlin, the Munich team failed to overcome the 1-1 draw (1-1). At the top behind Sport-Club, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern and Union, the 1. FC Köln remain after a 4-2 (3-1) win at VfL Wolfsburg.
Last VfL Bochum lost 2-0 (0-0) to Werder Bremen, VfB Stuttgart and FC Schalke 04 drew 1-1 (1-1). It also seems pivotal for RB Leipzig. The cup winner lost the duel between two Champions League holders at Eintracht Frankfurt clearly 0: 4 (0: 2) and has nothing to do with the top spots for the moment.
