Moukoko reports BVB
In an exciting top game, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich separated Saturday evening with 2: 2 (0: 1). The Westphalians recovered 2-0 after goals from Goretzka (33 ‘) and Sané (53’) – both goals prepared by Musiala – with goals in the final. Moukoko fueled BVB’s hopes in the 74th minute, before Joker Modeste became a hero in a savage final stage after a downhill and uphill run: First, the former Cologne player missed a huge chance at a few meters ahead of Neuer in the 83rd minute before him – the BVB was already outnumbered after Coman’s traffic light (90th) – forced the equalizer with a header in the fifth minute of injury time. Both teams are third (Bayern) and fourth in the standings with 16 points each.
Frimpong’s second double pack
Xabi Alonso’s Bundesliga debut as manager of Bayer Leverkusen was previously afternoon as desired. Diaby and Frimpong open the field with a brace against Schalke, extremely defensive, in the first half (38 ‘, 41’). Frimpong quickly completed the brace for energetic Werkself after the break – his second this season after beating Mainz 05 3-0 – and secured three important points. Paulinho’s last point eventually secured a clear 4-0 win. With this pale performance, S04 suffered their fifth defeat in 2022/23.
Nkunku straightened RB-Remis
RB Leipzig scored a header on the post (Haidara, 18 ‘) before half-time and an offside goal after half-time (Diallo, 54’). The conclusion was that the Saxons got a point because Nkunku hit his head in the 80th minute for the 1-1. Zero-five goalkeeper Zentner saved everything that happened to him and in the 45th minute Ingvartsen pushed the ball past Gulacsi representative Blaswich in the left corner from a very sharp angle.
VfL Bochum can still win! Marker Hofmann headed Revierklub 3-0 ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt (71st), before an own goal by Ndicka (87th) and Förster in injury time put the brakes on the game – and at the same time for the first success for the new VfL- Coach Thomas Letsch provided. With four points, Bochum still remains at the bottom. Incidentally, their last Bundesliga victory dates back to 6 May, when they defeated Arminia Bielefeld 2-1.
Formation of the herd in Augusta
No victory in the hard-fought duel between FC Augsburg and VfL Wolfsburg, which ended 1-1 after goals from Gerhardt (27 ‘) and Gumny (55’). The negative highlight of the match was a formation group just before half-time with a total of seven yellow cards in three minutes – but no red cards – visiting coach Niko Kovac and Augsburg CEO Stefan Reuter also had seen the yellow card of the referee Daniel Siebert. In the standings, FCA is 13 points ahead of Wolves (9).
Luck in late Bremen – triple package on Sunday
TSG Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen played the day Friday night opened – the Hanseatic League stole the points from Sinsheim with a guaranteed 2-1 win in the final and bit to the top of the leaderboard.
