Leverkusen led 2-0 after two “glued” goals by Frimpong and Grimaldo at the end of the first half and had other chances, but in the end they lost in the Bundesliga for the first time since May 27 last year and the duel in Bochum. At the end of the seven-minute setup of the opening act, Leipzig got Leipzig back into the game with a header from Kampl, and in the 57th minute Kovař was caught by a wide-angle shot from Openda. The Belgian striker completed a great turnaround in the 80th minute with a shot from outside the box.
Leipzig beat Bayer after three defeats and have full points after two rounds. Even Schick, who came from the bench to the field in the 77th minute, did not change the result.
Hoffenheim lost 0:2 after the opening act and goals from Ekitike and Larsson, and Hoffenheim’s coach also sent Hranáč, who transferred from Pilsen a week ago, to the second half. In the 54th minute, Hložek found Kramarič with a precise cross in front of the goal, and he consolidated his lead in the scorers table with his fourth goal of the season. Soon, however, after confusion in Hoffenheim’s defense, Marmúš increased again. Both teams are on three points in the table.
Čvančara, who, like Hranáč, Hložek, Schick and Kovář, is not missing in the nomination of the national team for the upcoming League of Nations match, got on the field in the 82nd minute already with the score 2:0. Kleindienst and Honorat scored the first points of the year for his team with goals in the second half.
Dortmund kept a clean sheet for the second time this season, but in contrast to the opening 2-0 victory over Frankfurt, today they lost points for a goalless draw in Bremen. Borussia played without the suspended Schlotterbeck from the 73rd minute.
