Guirassy shoots VfB to the top, BVB turns the game against Union

Lewandowski record broken

Striker Serhou Guirassy shot VfB Stuttgart to the top of the Bundesliga table with a hat-trick against Wolfsburg. The Swabians defeated the “Wolves” 3-1 (0-1) on Saturday and secured their sixth win on the seventh matchday.

At VfB it took a while until the next big Guirassy show. Yannick Gerhardt (34th) gave Wolfsburg a deserved lead. But then the league’s top scorer single-handedly turned the game around, for Guirassy it was goals 11 to 13 this season (67th/penalty kick/78th/82nd) ​​- no player in the Bundesliga has ever scored more often after seven match days, Guirassy improved the record previously held by Robert Lewandowski (for statistics).

Missed two penalties, only scored one point: RB Leipzig suffered an unexpected setback against winless relegation candidate VfL Bochum. Coach Marco Rose’s team only managed a 0-0 draw on Saturday, failing in each half with a penalty to VfL keeper Manuel Riemann. The 35-year-old increased his Bundesliga tally to eleven saved penalties. The Saxons missed a home win against Bochum for the first time in front of 44,269 fans.

A dream goal from Tim Skarke and a Darmstadt penalty put coach Enrico Maaßen at FC Augsburg in trouble. After the 1:2 (0:0) against the improved Bundesliga newcomer, it remains to be seen how the FCA decision-makers react to the negative performance in the first home defeat of the season during the international break. Managing director Michael Ströll had written in the stadium courier in the foreword to the game about a “duty” to “land a victory.”

Maaßen’s team was a long way from that in front of 29,200 spectators after 70 minutes at the latest. Darmstadt’s attacker Luca Pfeiffer shot the ball onto the crossbar. Skarke reacted wide awake and hammered the follow-up shot under the crossbar from a tight angle in the 52nd minute. Tobias Kempe made it 2-0 for the guests 18 minutes later from the penalty spot after substitute Arne Maier fouled Fabian Nürnberger.

Fourth league win in a row for Borussia Dortmund, seventh competitive defeat in a row for Union Berlin: In a crazy game with two leadership changes and a lot of video chaos, the end result was 4:2 (1:2) for BVB. This not only continues the current form series of the two Champions League participants, but also the history of both clubs: Dortmund has now won all five home games against Union, which BVB previously only achieved against 1. FC Saarbrücken.

Niclas Füllkrug actually gave BVB a dream start (7th). National team colleague Robin Gosens (9th) with his fourth goal in the seventh Bundesliga game for Union and Italian former world champion Leonardo Bonucci with his first goal for the Iron Men (31st, penalty kick) turned the game around before the break.

Nico Schlotterbeck, who was not called up to the national team this time, unlike his neighbor Mats Hummels, equalized (49th). Julian Brandt (54th), who only came into the game as a joker, then made it 3-2 and was involved in a goal in the sixth Bundesliga game in a row. Strong ex-Union player Julian Ryerson made the final score (71st). ).
