Werkself are at the top – Openda double pack
It wasn’t enough for the Swabians (21 points) to lead the table – because Bayer Leverkusen (22) won their away game at VfL Wolfsburg 2-1. Maxence Lacroix was able to counter Jeremie Frimpong’s goal from the most acute angle to make it 1-1, but the Autostädter had no answer to Alejandro Grimaldo’s success after just over an hour.
RB Leipzig solved its away task at SV Darmstadt 98 relatively confidently and, thanks to the 44-second lightning strike from double packer Lois Openda, ultimately won 3-1 and remains a member of the Bundesliga top group.

Goalkeeper assists in Sinsheim – discussions in Freiburg
When the two former Nagelsmann assistants Pellegrino Matarazzo and Dino Toppmöller met again in Sinsheim, Eintracht Frankfurt would certainly have wished for a smoother start. In addition to the short-term absence of Mario Götze (birth of the second child) and regular goalkeeper Kevin Trapp (back injury shortly before the game), the Hessians also had to swallow the 0-1 lead by high-flyer Maximilian Beier in the 4th minute. But the SGE turned the game around in the first half: Omar Marmoush (11th), Ansgar Knauff (23rd) and Ellyes Skhiri (45th + 3) scored for Frankfurt. Curious in this southern duel: goalkeepers Oliver Baumann and Jens Grahl provided assists for the first two goals.
SC Freiburg beat VfL Bochum 2-1 at home and climbed to mid-table. All of Breisgau’s goals came in the first half, with the Revierklub taking the lead with a remarkable Paciencia volley (15′). Ritsu Doan equalized (26′), there were lengthy discussions before the hand penalty in added time before the half-time whistle, which Bernardo unintentionally caused and Vincenzo Grifo converted as usual. At the end, Freiburg’s coach Christian Streich raised his arms in relief and celebrated the hard-fought home win.
