Great for Bayern Munich, 1-0 by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting
This time the center forward nets! Once again Bayern release themselves from the pressure, this time Sané carries the ball out of the pressure while dribbling. He moves from the right into the middle at the center line and then goes deep to the left to Coman. He moves into the penalty area and places it across the left corner in front of the goal. At the right post, Choupo-Moting then only holds the right inside in and pushes over the line.

Huge opportunity to start! Bochum immediately goes for it early, but Davies frees himself from the pressure by dribbling down the left! He dribbles over 40 meters and then passes to Coman on the left. He crosses from 18 meters into the middle, where Choupo-Moting heads the ball from almost five meters centrally. From a very short distance, he presses his forehead directly onto Riemann. That almost has to be the first hit!

At Bochum there is a change in the starting eleven after the 1-1 draw against Frankfurt: a livelier attacker, Christopher Antwi-Adjei, is coming in for Philipp Hofmann. At the back everything again points to a five-man chain.
3:16 p.m
When you look at the lineups at FC Bayern, two positions in particular stand out. In addition to Harry Kane, another center forward, Choupo-Moting, will be called up. Upamecano also gets a break in central defense. For him, de Ligt gets his first starting eleven appearance of the season.
3:16 p.m
When Bayern meet Bochum there is always a good atmosphere off the pitch. The fan groups share a fan friendship. The most recent example was the fan chant after the championship, in which the melody mocked BVB’s original chant: “FC Bayern are champions and Bochum stays in!” chanted the Munich team in Cologne after the final whistle. This celebrated their own title and the late rescue of their friend from the West.
3:06 p.m
In the other three games, VfL collected three points with three draws. They were able to wrest a 1-1 draw from Borussia Dortmund in their home opener. This was followed by a 2-2 draw against Augsburg and on the last matchday the spectators saw a 1-1 draw against Frankfurt in the Ruhrstadion.

The Bochum team can only dream of such European Cup nights at the moment. Nevertheless, coach Thomas Letsch’s team can be quite satisfied with their start to the season. In 13th place in the table, they have only lost one game – the opening 5-0 at VfB Stuttgart.
2:49 p.m
When looking at the results, it is immediately noticeable that only one out of four league games resulted in a clean sheet. The defensive negligence was also evident during the week in the Champions League. Despite four own goals, the game against Manchester United never really became clear. Instead, in the end they only managed to score 4:3 over time, even though they clearly had the upper hand in terms of play.
2:44 p.m
The record champions got their ten points with three wins at the start of the season. There were perfect results at Werder (4:0), against Augsburg (3:1) and in Gladbach (2:1). Last Friday there was a draw against Leverkusen in the top game (2:2).
2:39 p.m
Because Bayer Leverkusen doesn’t start until tomorrow, FC Bayern can take over the position at the top of the table with a win today. After Stuttgart’s victory yesterday, the Swabians are greeting us from the top with twelve points ahead of Saturday’s games. FCB is two points behind.
2:31 p.m
