In the 7-0 victory in Bochum, defending champions Bayern Munich inflicted a historic home slap on their opponents, currently ill-suited for the Bundesliga. While Borussia Dortmund’s alleged worst competitor made a mistake for the first time against Werder Bremen on Saturday (2: 3), Bayern are the only team in the league with the maximum tally of nine points at the top after three match days .
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann was also pleased with his lucky hand in personnel selection on Sunday. For the first time this season, the 35-year-old had to make three changes to his starting eleven, which he had previously tried out in three competitive matches. All three newcomers scored early: Goals from Leroy Sané (4th minute), Matthijs de Ligt (25th) and Kingsley Coman (33rd) came after some heavy individual reductions by the VfL pros , who suffered their third loss in the third game allowed .
Sadio Mané (42nd/60th, hand penalty) rose in a very one-sided game. For the third time in the fourth official match of the season, Bayern scored more than five goals. Significantly, the sixth goal came from an own goal by Cristian Gamboa (69′). Substitute Serge Gnabry (77th) was also able to celebrate. ÖFB team player Marcel Sabitzer was replaced when the score was 5-0 (62nd). Kevin Stöger played the full distance for the underdogs.
Frankfurt still winless
Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt once again lost their first win of the new season in a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Cologne. Daichi Kamada (71st minute) scored from a free-kick for Frankfurt two minutes after being substituted before Jan Thielmann (82nd) equalised. Eintracht went winless for the 11th consecutive game in all seasons. Two Austrians, Florian Kainz (up to 88th) and Dejan Ljubicic (56th), have played for Cologne.
