Moukoko match winner against Schalke
Derby hero Youssoufa Moukoko: The 17-year-old BVB striker shot his Dortmund team against Schalke 04 to a 1-0 prestige victory. The triumph was overshadowed by an allegedly serious injury to Marco Reus. FC Bayern is overtaken by Borussia in the Bundesliga table. In the fourth game in a row, the Munich team failed to win again. At FC Augsburg, the champions even left the field as a loser for the first time this season. Mergim Berisha is the man of the match in FCA’s 1-0 win in the neighborhood duel.
To all results of the Bundesliga match day
Thanks to Moukoko, Borussia Dortmund has averted a looming mood after two recent defeats and consolidated its dominance in football West. In the most important game of the year for their own fans against arch-rivals FC Schalke 04, the only 17-year-old talent scored in the 79th minute for the well-deserved victory and for his team to jump to the top of the table.
With that, BVB lived up to their role as favorites in the 99th Bundesliga duel between the two traditional teams in front of 81,100 in the sold-out Signal Iduna Park, despite the chasing of appointments in the past. On the other hand, a week after the first win of the season over Bochum (3:1), disillusionment returned to the newly promoted team from Gelsenkirchen.

Hangover at Bayern and Nagelsmann: Toxic FCA wins
FC Bayern and coach Julian Nagelsmann are in a hangover mood before the planned visit to the Oktoberfest. Just a few hours after the start of the Wiesn in Munich, the star ensemble suffered a 0-1 (0-0) defeat at the great FC Augsburg on Saturday, which will continue to have an impact given the international break. After three draws, it was the fourth consecutive game without a win in the Bundesliga for the vulnerable German champions. The mood before the Wiesn visit planned for Sunday is spoiled.
The venomous, courageous and hard-fighting Augsburg crowned their excellent performance with a goal from U21 European champion Berisha in the 59th minute. In stoppage time, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer even stormed with corner kicks. A header from the captain almost made it 1-1, but the outstanding FCA keeper Rafal Gikiewicz made an outstanding save (90+4).

Three goals against standards: VfB also without a win against Frankfurt
The unrest at VfB Stuttgart is growing after another winless game at the end of an eventful week. VfB lost 3-1 (0-1) to Champions League participants Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. It was the seventh game without a three for VfB, who slipped to 16th place. The Swabians have never had to wait so long for a threesome at the start of the season in their club history.
In a game that was largely evenly matched, the new table sixth benefited from an unsuccessful fist defense by VfB keeper Florian Müller on the head of Sebastian Rode (6th) and a deflected free kick from Daichi Kamada (55th). Tiago Tomás’ goal in the end was not enough (79′) because Kristijan Jakic scored in the 88th minute (88′) – also after a dead ball, also with a header.
Late Bremen goal prevented Bayer’s first home win
Even a goal from Kerem Demirbay didn’t help Bayer Leverkusen out of the earnings crisis in the Bundesliga. The Werkself drew 1-1 (0-0) against Werder Bremen on Saturday and are stuck fourth from bottom in the table with five points. The difficult situation for coach Gerardo Seoane has hardly improved before the upcoming international break. Demirbay’s (54th) goal worth seeing was compensated by Milos Veljkovic (82nd).
In front of 30,210 spectators in the sold-out Bayarena, Leverkusen again missed their first home win of the season, while Bremen, on the other hand, continued their unbeaten away series and kept in touch with the top half of the table.
