Nico Elvedi put the visitors ahead in the 33rd minute, substitutes Kevin Behrens (79 ‘) and Danilho Doekhi (96’) turned the game over in front of 22,000 spectators at the sold-out An der Alten Försterei stadium. Shortly before Gladbach scored the first goal, which had traveled to Berlin without the ailing Stefan Lainer and the injured Hannes Wolf, a goal from Sheraldo Becker was disallowed by the video referee (VAR). Even Trimmel’s alleged 2: 1 with a header in the 86th minute did not count according to video evidence due to the offside.
While Gladbach missed at least the temporary jump to a place in the European Cup, Union Berlin led the table from Matchday 6 and successfully parried every attack. So did another of the Bavarians, who showed up on Saturday with a scoring show and in the meantime had taken the lead in the standings. On Saturday Leipzig also won against Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg against Bochum and Stuttgart against Augsburg. In addition, Borussia Dortmund stole three points from Oliver Glasner’s Frankfurters.
FC Schalke are still in full crisis, even with new manager Thomas Reis. The 0: 2 at home to SC Freiburg was the seventh consecutive competitive loss. Vincenzo Grifo (45. +1 and 61./ penalty) scored both goals for the playfully superior and sovereign guests, with whom Philipp Lienhart played all the way. Countryman Michael Gregoritsch remained in action until the 69th minute.
Dortmund wins Schlager against Frankfurt
On Saturday, Dortmund won a top duel for Champions League seats at Eintracht Frankfurt 2: 1 (1: 1) and thus remain close to the top. Julian Brandt (21st minute) and Jude Bellingham (52nd) gave Dortmund the win after Daichi Kamada (26th) had drawn in the meantime. Frankfurt coach Glasner, who had previously won four competitive matches in a row for his side, did not win a point in the seventh game of his career with Dortmund.
RB Leipzig remained 2-0 (1-0) at home to Bayer Leverkusen in the race for starting positions in the European Cup. After three draws in a row, VfL Wolfsburg are back in the winning statistics. Patrick Wimmer and teammates finished VfL Bochum and Kevin Stöger 4-0 (2-0). VfB Stuttgart could also look forward to a successful day of work at the end of the match. Thanks to a goal in added time, the Swabians celebrated a 2-1 (1-1) home victory against Augsburg.
Bayern remain in the mood for goals
In any case, Bayern continued where they left off on Wednesday, beating FC Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League. The ball ran in the ranks of the Monaco as on an invisible string and the offensive department was in good shape. First, Serge Gnabry (5th) after the preliminary work of Mane and Jamal Musiala (28th) wrote to him. Sadio Mane (43 °) then scored the 3-0 himself after a missed penalty. Mainz, who made their debut with Karim Onisiwo, also missed a penalty just before half-time, but Silvan Widmer headed the next corner (45 + 4).
Leon Goretzka scored at half-time (58 minutes), before Marcel Sabitzer replaced the scorer two minutes later. The Styrian was able to start 5: 1 through Mathys Tel in the match that had already been decided and was credited with an assist. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also scored (86 ‘). In the middle, Marcus Ingvartsen scored Mainz’s second goal (82 ‘).
Home wins from Wolfsburg to Stuttgart
VfL Wolfsburg played their home game against a completely unregistered VfL Bochum with Kevin Stöger with the same clarity as Monaco. Patrick Wimmer’s team, on the pitch until the 67th minute, won 4-0. RB Leipzig defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 with Xaver Schlager. 32-year-old Norwegian Örjan Nyland was on target for Leipzig after both Peter Gulacsi and his replacement Janis Blaswich were injured.
In Stuttgart, VfB scored their second win of the season against FC Augsburg with a goal from Waldemar Anton that led to a 2-1 win in the 92nd minute. The Swabians crowned the comeback, because the guests had already taken the lead in the fourth minute with Florian Niederlechner, but Serhou Guirassy equalized shortly after (15th). In recovery times, the hosts then got the better of themselves. Former ÖFB captain Julian Baumgartlinger was not used by the guests.
