Dhe longest winning streak in the Bundesliga has been broken. FC Bayern won 19 games in a row against Werder Bremen – a series like this is unique in the history of the league. Now it was only enough for a 1: 1 (0: 1).
Maximilian Eggestein had brought the guests into the lead in the 45th minute, Kingsley Coman equalized for Bayern (62nd). The result was enough for the Munich to defend the lead with 19 points.
At the other end of the table there was no movement for FC Schalke 04 either. After a disastrous first half, the Gelsenkirchen team lost 0: 2 (0: 2) against VfL Wolfsburg in their own stadium. Schalke remains in 17th place with three points and has now been without a win for 24 Bundesliga games in a row.
Schalke 04 – VfL Wolfsburg 0: 2 (0: 2)
Schalke’s horror series continues. The proud traditional club conceded the next sobering defeat after a bad first and decent second half. Only Tasmania Berlin had a longer run without a win 55 years ago with 31 games without success.
Even the new coach Manuel Baum has not brought a turnaround in the six games of his tenure, although all three points were scored under him. Nevertheless, the Royal Blues are on a relegation zone and have a devastating goal difference of 5:24.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, is still unbeaten this season and after three 1-1 wins, they now also won their first away win. The team has now followed through on the alliance of the club’s management with coach Oliver Glasner after intermittent disagreements. Wout Weghorst with his earliest Bundesliga goal (3rd) and the strong Xaver Schlager (24th) with his first away goal in the Bundesliga ensured success early on.
Bayern Munich – Werder Bremen 1: 1 (0: 1)
For the anniversary of Hansi Flick, FC Bayern missed the win and left important points in the fight for the top of the table. In the coach’s 50th competitive game, the Munich team prevented at least the first home defeat in almost a year in the 1: 1 (0: 1) against SV Werder Bremen thanks to an increase in performance after the break and the goal by Kingsley Coman (62nd minute).
In the 109th North-South classic, there was no game so often in the Bundesliga, Maximilian Eggestein (45th) handed the guests the goal to celebrate another point after 27 competitive defeats against the German record champions. Curious: For Bremen it was the fifth 1-1 in a row.
In the 400th competitive game for Munich, captain Manuel Neuer could not book the record of the 196th Bundesliga game without conceding a goal because of Eggestein. After the national team’s 6-0 debacle, the 34-year-old presented himself as a sure source of support, but at 0-1 he was powerless. Javi Martínez had let himself be taken by surprise after a throw-in from Bremen by Josh Sargent, whose pass Eggestein used ice-cold. In the closing stages, Neuer saved with a strong reflex against Sargent (87th).
Borussia Mönchengladbach – FC Augsburg 1: 1 (1: 0)
Borussia Mönchengladbach have received a bitter draw. The Rhinelander did not get more than 1: 1 (1: 0) against FC Augsburg, the equalizer fell shortly before the end of the game. So for Borussia it was a mixed dress rehearsal for the game in the Champions League on Wednesday against Shakhtar Donetsk.
While Augsburg’s trainer Heiko Herrlich had no personal problems to complain about, the Gladbach team had to announce another corona case shortly before kick-off. After Alassane Plea was affected in the week, defender Ramy Bensebaini was added. The Algerian international, who had international matches in Algeria and Zimbabwe last week, tested positive and is in quarantine at home, it said.
The team didn’t seem to be particularly impressed, in any case it set an exclamation point early on in this game. Florian Neuhaus took the lead (5th). It was a weak moment for the Augsburgers, who otherwise made a solid impression. They could not develop danger alone, the better chances had the Gladbachers, who controlled the varied duel.
In the second section a similar picture, albeit with a difference from the 66th minute: Augsburg’s Raphael Framberger saw yellow and then yellow-red within four minutes. But Gladbach could not use that, Daniel Caligiuri surprisingly managed to make it 1-1 two minutes before the end of the game.
Arminia Bielefeld – Bayer Leverkusen 1: 2 (0: 1)
With the fifth win in a row Bayer Leverkusen has established itself in the top group of the league and aggravated the crisis in the newly promoted Arminia Bielefeld. The Rhinelander won five days before their next appearance in the Europa League at the promoted team from East Westphalia just before the end thanks to a goal from substitute Aleksandar Dragovic (88th) with 2-1 (1-0). Leverkusen celebrated the best winning streak in almost five years. At that time, the team under coach Roger Schmidt achieved seven wins in a row.
Bielefeld, who only scored an own goal from Leverkusen’s goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky (47th), are in the middle of a relegation battle after their fifth consecutive defeat. Leon Bailey scored the opening goal in the 27th minute for the Bayer team, who were still undefeated this season.
1899 Hoffenheim – VfB Stuttgart 3: 3 (1: 2)
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim defied its many Corona failures with a remarkable show of strength – and only gave a victory against VfB Stuttgart in stoppage time. The team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß came against the state rivals VfB Stuttgart to a 3: 3 (1: 2). Christoph Baumgartner initially brought the weakened Kraichgauer into the lead (16th minute). Then Nicolás González (18th) and Silas Wamangituka (27th) met for the Swabians, before Ryan Sessegnon (48th) equalized. The Croatian top striker Kramaric converted a penalty to 3-2 (71st) on his comeback. Marc Oliver Kempf equalized (90. + 3).
In the table, the Hoffenheim team, who have not won six games, are three points behind the promoted team. Before the kick-off at Sky, however, sports director Alexander Rosen had emphasized that in view of the current seven corona cases, looking at it was not the top priority: “I am just so happy that we can play this game today.” The German Football League (DFL) did not approve of postponing the game to at least Sunday.
