The Werkself beat RB Leipzig 3-2 (2-1). In the table, which is still not very meaningful, VfB Stuttgart overtook champions FC Bayern with a 5-0 (2-0) win over VfL Bochum. Promoted team 1. FC Heidenheim conceded a 0:2 (0:2) loss at VfL Wolfsburg in their first Bundesliga game.
Bundesliga spectacle in Augsburg
The spectators got to see many goals in the 4:4 (3:3) of FC Augsburg against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Ko Itakura (13′) and Tomas Cvancara (27′) scored there before Elvis Rexhbecaj (29′) restored the connection for the hosts. Augsburg also had a quick response to the third Gladbach goal by Nathan Ngoumou (37′) with a goal from Maximilian Bauer (41′). Sven Michel (45+7) scored the equalizer with a penalty kick even before the break. Rubén Vargas (76′) seemed to have finally turned the game around, but Cvancara’s penalty kick (90’+7′) equalized again late on.
