Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg share top spot

Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg share top spot Three of the four teams that reached the third Bundesliga matchday with a 100% record were in action on Saturday morning (12). And two of them picked up another win, continuing to share top spot in the league. 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 to Bayer Leverkusen. Elversberg could also end the round with nine points from three matches, as they face Bayern Munich this Sunday (13). Check 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. Dortmund’s No. 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 allowed 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. That is how Freiburg’s season has started. In addition to their three Bundesliga games, the run includes one in the DFB-Pokal and two in the Conference League. Gladbach, meanwhile, are still without a point in the league. Mainz x Eintracht Frankfurt The scoreline suggests a comfortable win, but goalkeeper Noah Atubolu played a hugely important role. He saved a penalty taken by Mainz while the score was still 1-0 and extended an impressive record. It was the SIXTH penalty in a row saved by Atubolu, who joined Eintracht from Freiburg last month. Augsburg x Bayer Leverkusen A clash decided only in the closing minutes. Bayer Leverkusen took the lead, were then turned around, and found an equalizer just before second-half stoppage time. Hoffenheim x Stuttgart Hoffenheim had 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 emerge, Hoffenheim retook the lead and left the pitch with all three points. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
