Bundesliga: RB Leipzig catches up 0:3 against FC Augsburg, victories for BVB & FC Bayern

SCF wins, B04 saves point

Before the highlight game against Real Madrid, RB Leipzig just averted a strong mood dampener with great morale. On Saturday, on a crazy football afternoon in the Bundesliga, the cup winner fought back with a majority after Iago was sent off in a flash (66th) after a 0:3 deficit at 3:3 (0:1) at FC Augsburg . André Silva (73rd minute), Christopher Nkunku (89th) and Hugo Novoa (90th) scored in a game that was almost lost.

Mergim Berish (34th minute / penalty), Ermedin Demirovic (51st) and Ruben Vargas (64th) made the Swabians look like the deserved winner for a long time. Berisha not only scored himself, but also played twice for his team-mates, but he wasn’t satisfied in the end. When outnumbered, the forces dwindled. FCA coach Enrico Maassen saw a yellow card after the final whistle after he made his way to referee Robert Schröder.

BVB doesn’t give VfB Stuttgart a chance in front of their own backdrop

More passion, more playfulness, more efficiency: Borussia Dortmund has shot the frustration of the past few weeks out of its soul and appeased the recently growing crowd of critics for the time being. Led by the outstanding Jude Bellingham, coach Edin Terzic’s team achieved the hoped-for sense of achievement in a 5-0 (3-0) win over VfB Stuttgart after the last three Bundesliga games with just one point.

In front of 81,365 spectators in the sold-out Signal Iduna Park, Bellingham (2nd/53rd), Niklas Süle (13th), Giovanni Reyna (44th) and Youssoufa Moukoko (72nd) ensured the Revierklub’s resounding victory, which was a successful dress rehearsal for celebrating Tuesday’s Champions League game against Manchester City. For the Swabians, who had recently celebrated clear victories under interim coach Michael Wimmer against Bochum (4:1) and in the cup against Bielefeld (6:0), the recent flight came to an end with a crash.

FC Bayern doesn’t let anything burn at TSG Hoffenheim

FC Bayern Munich is back in top form just in time for the duel with ex-striker Robert Lewandowski and FC Barcelona. Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team won 2-0 (2-0) at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and thus secured second place in the Bundesliga. Super youngsters Jamal Musiala (18th minute) and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (38th) scored in the deserved and confident away win, which rounded off a perfect Bayern week in front of 30,150 spectators: three games, three wins, twelve goals scored. In the table, the record champions move up to one point at least for one night at Union Berlin – on Sunday (3.30 p.m.) the capital city-dwellers are guests at VfL Bochum.

SC Freiburg outnumbered Werder Bremen

SC Freiburg coped well with the bankruptcy at German champions FC Bayern Munich less than a week ago. Because after moving into the round of 16 of the DFB Cup last Wednesday, the Europa League participants also reported back in the Bundesliga with a win. Freiburg won 2-0 (0-0) against newly promoted SV Werder Bremen on Saturday afternoon.

In their third home win this season, the Breisgauer benefited from an early dismissal. In the table, they consolidate third place, Bremen are still in the middle of the table. After an early red card against Marco Friedl (14th), Freiburg took control in front of 34,700 spectators. But it took until the 56th minute before Lukas Kübler redeemed the hosts. Vincenzo Grifo made the decision with a converted penalty (80′).

Bayer Leverkusen have to be content with a point against VfL Wolfsburg

Crisis club Bayer Leverkusen missed the hoped-for liberation in the Bundesliga after the 2: 2 (1: 1) against VfL Wolfsburg. In front of 26,294 spectators, the team coached by Xabi Alonso played well in attack at times, scoring through Moussa Diaby (17′) and Jeremie Frimpong (76′). Before the extremely important Champions League game on Wednesday (9 p.m.) at Atletico Madrid, Bayer once again revealed major weaknesses on the defensive with Robert Andrich’s own goal (28’) and Maximilian Arnold’s converted penalty (54’). Leverkusen remain in 14th place with just nine points, two points behind Wolfsburg in 13th place.
