Now Freiburg faces the tough task of rooting against giant Bayern Munich, who visit Schalke at 1:30 p.m. this Saturday (5).

Augsburg — who visit Eintracht Frankfurt at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday (6) — are another team that could overtake them this round.

The goal that put Freiburg on top of the Bundesliga came in the 26th minute of the first half after a play full of INSISTENCE.

Paderborn's defense managed to block TWO shots. On the third, Maximilian Eggestein found the net.


Hoffenheim x Dortmund 😱

Borussia Dortmund claimed a HUGE win after an incredible comeback away to Hoffenheim: 3-2.

Hoffenheim went 2-0 up. Dortmund woke up from the 15th minute of the second half onward and came back through Guirassy, Fábio Silva and Hajdari (own goal).


Leverkusen x Union Berlin 🔥

Bayer Leverkusen bounced back from their opening defeat to Elversberg and beat Union Berlin in "what goes around comes around" style.

Ezequiel Fernández and Facundo Medina scored in the first half. Patrik Schick and Ibrahim Maza sealed the rout in the second.


Other matches ⚔️

There were two other Bundesliga matches on Saturday morning (5).

Elversberg beat Borussia Mönchengladbach in a thriller: 4-3.

And Werder Bremen defeated RB Leipzig 3-1.


How it stands 🇩🇪

Freiburg, therefore, are the Bundesliga leaders. Borussia Dortmund and Elversberg also have six points.

Hoffenheim, Hamburg, Schalke and Borussia M'gladbach (bottom of the table) are the clubs still without a point.
