Borussia Dortmund beat newly promoted Paderborn, while Freiburg thrashed Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The exception was Augsburg, who started the day in first place but conceded a late equalizer against Bayer Leverkusen.

Elversberg could also end the round with nine points from three matches, as they face Bayern Munich this Sunday (13).

See below for the details of this Saturday morning’s Bundesliga matches:


Borussia Dortmund x Paderborn

It was not Guirassy’s day to be the goalscorer.

The Dortmund number 9 had two goals ruled out for offside in the first half. In the second half, he was denied by the opposing goalkeeper.

But it was his assist that set up Fábio Silva to open the scoring.

Felix Nmecha sealed the win with two goals late on.


Freiburg x Borussia Mönchengladbach

Six wins in six matches played. That is how Freiburg’s season has started.

In addition to their three Bundesliga matches, the run includes one game in the German Cup and two in the Conference League.

Gladbach, meanwhile, are still without a single point in the league.


Mainz x Eintracht Frankfurt

The scoreline suggests a comfortable win, but goalkeeper Noah Atubolu played a very important role.

He saved a penalty taken by Mainz while the score was still 1-0 and extended an impressive record.

That was the SIXTH penalty in a row saved by Atubolu, who was signed by Eintracht from Freiburg last month.


Augsburg x Bayer Leverkusen

A match decided only in the final minutes.

Bayer Leverkusen took the lead, then fell behind, and found the equalizer shortly before second-half stoppage time.


Hoffenheim x Stuttgart

Hoffenheim lost from winning positions in the first two Bundesliga rounds this season.

This Saturday, the team went ahead and then conceded an equalizer.

But just as fears of a third comeback defeat began to grow, Hoffenheim went back in front and left the pitch with all three points.
