Augsburg hit top, Elversberg stun again, five things we learned from Bundesliga Matchday two | OneFootball

Augsburg lead the Bundesliga for the first time in their history after matchday two, Elversberg stunned again, and Bayern were held at Schalke. BuLi News notes an unusual table, with Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund also perfect.

Augsburg followed a 3-0 win over Schalke by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 4-1, despite Jonathan Burkardt’s early strike. Arjon Ibrahimovic and Robin Fellhauer flipped the game moments after half-time, before Alexis Claude-Maurice and Fabian Rieder finished the job.

The newcomers beat Leverkusen 3-2 on debut, then recovered from 3-1 down at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Maurice Krattenmacher made it 3-2 on 66 minutes, Felix Keidel levelled from a free-kick, and Krattenmacher struck stoppage time for 4-3, with Bayern up next.

After a 3-0 defeat at Augsburg, Schalke earned a 0-0 against the champions on their Bundesliga return at the Veltins-Arena. Loris Karius excelled after the introductions of Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala, but the defensive structure deserved equal credit.

Hamburg’s first home game ended in a 5-0 loss to Mainz. Merlin Polzin debuted David Moller Wolfe, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Bilal Nadir and Terem Moffi, yet Sheraldo Becker scored one and made two as Phillip Tietz struck twice, leaving HSV bottom with zero scored and seven conceded.

Werder Bremen responded to a 4-1 defeat at Freiburg by beating RB Leipzig 3-1. Eren Dinkci scored after four minutes, Niclas Füllkrug added a second after the break, Marco Grüll made it three late on and Ridle Baku replied, with Köln and Augsburg up next.
