With a difference of six goals, Bayer Leverkusen should have won to return to the top of the table. Despite many chances against Heidenheim, this was far from possible. In order to overthrow series champions FC Bayern Munich from the top of the table after their 7-0 win against VfL Bochum, a victory with a difference of six goals would have been necessary, which Bayer was far from achieving in the end due to their almost absurdly negligent exploitation of opportunities. After the club’s first ever Bundesliga point in a 2-2 draw in Dortmund and its first win in a 4-2 win against Bremen, Heidenheim suffered another setback.
Bayer and Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt and SC Freiburg are still stuck in the middle of the table after a zero number. Both teams lack penetration in attack. Under the eyes of new national coach Julian Nagelsmann, Mario Götze initially only sat on the bench at Eintracht. “Mario has played for a very long time. So I wouldn’t make it too big of a deal that he’s out now,” said Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller before kick-off about the former world champion’s unusual substitute role.
FC Bayern Munich has once again taken over the top of the Bundesliga table with a shooting festival. The Munich team won 7-0 over VfL Bochum, with Harry Kane scoring three goals in the decisive victory. The record champions are now one point ahead of VfB Stuttgart, RB Leipzig and TSG Hoffenheim.
