FC Bayern did not win a game for the first time this football season. Union Berlin is the first team on the 10th Bundesliga matchday that was able to at least get a draw from Munich. Coach Vincent Kompany missed out on breaking the start record for a season in the German upper house. Only Pep Guardiola managed ten wins from the first ten games with the record champions ten years ago. Hoffenheim celebrated victories on Saturday against Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, who made everything clear against Heidenheim in the first half hour. BVB gave up the lead at HSV shortly before the end and had to settle for one point.
FC Bayern Munich’s fabulous winning streak was broken in the 17th game against 1. FC Union Berlin. A late goal from Harry Kane at least brought Bayern a point after it looked like their first defeat of the season until injury time. Four days after the exhilarating Champions League success in Paris, coach Vincent Kompany’s team couldn’t get past a 2-2 (1-1) draw at 1. FC Union Berlin due to a mistake by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
In Köpenick, the Munich team struggled for long stretches against unpleasant Berliners. In front of 22,012 spectators in the An der Alten Försterei stadium, Danilho Doekhi initially gave the home team the lead (27th minute). The centrally shot ball slipped through Manuel Neuer’s hands. Luis Díaz (38th) equalized in an urgent phase before the break. Top scorer Kane was able to equalize Berlin’s renewed lead through Doekhi (83′) in stoppage time (90’+3).
HSV shocks BVB, Leverkusen with a landslide win, TSG slows down RB
It took a long time until a goal was scored in Hamburg. After more than an hour, Carney Chukwuemeka (64th) scored the goal to give Borussia the lead, who had suffered a sobering 4-1 defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. The fact that Borussia’s third 1-0 in a row was unsuccessful was also due to their own lack of danger – and Hamburg’s drive in the final phase, rewarded by Ransford Königsdörffer’s equalizer in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
Bayer Leverkusen outclassed 1. FC Heidenheim in an impressive manner. Kasper Hjulmand’s team won 6-0 (5-0) against the bottom team with no chance. In front of 29,257 spectators in the Leverkusen Arena, Patrik Schick (2nd and 22nd minutes), Jonas Hofmann (17th), Ernest Poku (27th) and Ibrahim Maza (45th + 1st and 53rd) scored for the Werkself.
The successful streak of Bayern’s pursuer RB Leipzig is broken. After eight unbeaten Bundesliga games, coach Ole Werner’s team suffered a 1:3 (1:2) defeat at a strong TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The Kraichgauers achieved their fourth win in a row, although RB took the lead thanks to top talent Yan Diomande (9th minute). Nevertheless, the Leipzig team had to admit defeat for the first time after the 6-0 defeat at the start in Munich. Albian Hajdari (20th) and Tim Lemperle (38th) turned the game around before the break in favor of Hoffenheim, who followed up after a counterattack by Grischa Prömel (79th).
