Philipp Hofmann (71st), an own goal by Evan Ndicka (87th) and Philipp Förster (94th) ended Frankfurt’s four-match streak without defeat. Frankfurt’s Rafael Borre (63rd) hit the crossbar for Eintracht only when the score was 0-0, which bet the possibility of third place in the table. Austrian Kevin Stöger was absent from Bochum due to a CoV disease.
In Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso was able to celebrate a perfect debut two days after the disqualification of his predecessor Gerardo Seoane, while manager Frank Kramer is now under pressure against harmless FC Schalke (with defender Leo Greiml). The former world-class Spanish player, who played for Bayern in the Bundesliga, celebrated goals from Moussa Diaby (38 ‘), Jeremie Frimpong (41’, 52 ‘) and Paulinho (90’).
Thanks only to the second win of the season for Champions League entrants, Leverkusen are now out of the relegation zone with eight points from nine games and have overtaken promoted Schalke. The Royal Blues have been waiting for an away win for 33 Bundesliga games. In particular, Schalke’s lack of level of play remains worrying, and Saturday’s performance was also combative.
Leipzig draws only against Mainz
In a heated and nervous match with group formation and fist fights, FC Augsburg and VfL Wolfsburg (with Patrick Wimmer up to the 75th minute) drew 1: 1. RB Leipzig still lost important points in the fight for starting positions in the national team. The Champions League player managed to draw only 1-1 with Xaver Schlager until the 73rd minute at FSV Mainz 05 (with Karim Onisiwo) and is therefore blocked in the middle of the table. Marcus Ingvartsen put the hosts ahead in the 45th minute, which Christopher Nkunku (80th) equalized.
