Bremen, with captain Marco Friedl, showed a good performance in Dortmund and was rewarded with three points. As expected, the hosts took the lead 2-0 with Julian Brandt (45 ‘+ 2’) and Raphael Guerreiro (77 ‘). However, Werder, for whom Romano Schmid entered as a substitute in the second half, overturned the game with late goals from Lee Buchanan (89 ‘), Niklas Schmidt (93’) and Oliver Burke (95 ‘).
It was the first defeat for Dortmund coached by Edin Terzic on the third day of play. With Sunday’s win at VfL Bochum, record-breaking champions FC Bayern Munich can take the lead on their own. “It’s really hard to explain. After the connecting gate we started shaking. But even with a not so good performance, we just have to win this match,” said Terzic.
Baumgartner’s heel kicks off Hoffenheim’s victory
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen remain unsuccessful after three rounds. Baumgartner played a big part in this, starting his club’s 3-0 win with a dream goal. The player of the ÖFB team turned away from the goal after the one-two and, with a stroke of genius, put the ball into the box with his right heel (9 ‘). Andrej Kramaric and Gerginio Rutter (78th) sealed Bayer’s third defeat in the third league match, the Champions League participants made a real false start as bottom of the table.
Onisiwo wins with Mainz in Augusta
Onisiwo led Mainz in a 2-1 win in Augsburg after half an hour. His third goal in the third game had to be controlled by the VAR because the ball hit the 30-year-old from Vienna’s upper arm. The goal still mattered. Augsburg responds with the equalizer of Ermedin Demirovic (35 ‘).
Julian Baumgartlinger, signed only on Tuesday by Augsburg, joined as a substitute in the 85th minute and thus celebrated his debut with Bayern. The former ÖFB captain could no longer prevent the defeat. Jae-Sung Lee made Mainz celebrate in the 93rd minute.
Union Berlin still beat Leipzig
Union Berlin, with captain Christopher Trimmel, beat Leipzig 2-1 in their home game. Goals from Jordan Siebatcheu (32nd) and Sheraldo Becker (38th) ensured that coach Urs Fischer’s side were unbeaten in ten games in all seasons. Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco is facing difficult days after his fourth consecutive Bundesliga defeat against Union. Willi Orban’s late goal doesn’t change things (83 ‘). At Leipzig Konrad Laimer played until the 71st minute, Xaver Schlager was not used.
VfB Stuttgart lost 1-0 to SC Freiburg with Sasa Kalajdzic at home. Vincenzo Grifo scored the decisive goal in the eleventh minute. With the Freiburg squad, ÖFB team players Philipp Lienhart were in action all season and Michael Gregoritsch until the 81st minute. Wolfsburg and Schalke left goalless. Gelsenkirchen striker Simon Terodde has failed twice from the spot against VfL goalkeeper Koen Casteels after the first penalty had to be retaken.
