VfL Wolfsburg is slipping more and more into the bottom of the table in the Bundesliga. Lower Saxony lost 1:3 (1:0) against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday at the end of the 28th matchday in the home premiere of new coach Ralph Hasenhüttl and are now only five points ahead of FSV Mainz 05 in the relegation zone.
In the first game under Hasenhüttl, who succeeded Niko Kovac, Wolfsburg won 2-0 in Bremen. The Gladbachers, who were also in crisis recently, moved into secure midfield with their second away win of the season and can take a deep breath for now.
In front of 26,105 spectators in the Volkswagen Arena, Ridle Baku gave Wolfsburg an early lead (7th minute). Kou Itakura (52′) and Nathan Ngoumou (58′) turned the game around for the guests after the break. Shortly before the end, Rocco Reitz (88th) scored the final score.
Hoffenheim wins against Augsburg
TSG Hoffenheim is once again fully involved in the race for the European Cup. The Kraichgauer team won 3-1 (2-0) against FC Augsburg and moved level with seventh in the table on points. Wout Weghorst (17th), Andrej Kramaric (20th) and Ihlas Bebou (90th) scored for Hoffenheim, who were able to leave their low point with three defeats in a row behind them.
FCA left the field as losers after five games without defeat. Ermedin Demirovic’s goal (61′) didn’t change that. “That’s absolutely a relief,” said Weghorst on DAZN: “We came out really well. The first 30 minutes were very confident.”
