Day 3: Incredible defeat for Borussia Dortmund against Werder Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen at their worst

Borussia Dortmund is not about to digest. However, he was heading for a victory, albeit laborious, against Werder Bremen thanks to goals from Julian Brandt (45th) and Raphaël Guerreiro (76th). But it was without counting on the incredible finish of Werder. Three goals in the last seven minutes scored by Lee Buchanan (89th), Niklas Schmidt (90th + 2) and Oliver Burke (90th + 4) to achieve the famous “climb” which plunged Signal Iduna Park into a nightmare. BvB, winner of their first two matches, missed the opportunity to take the lead in the provisional standings and are in 6th position, just ahead of Bremen.

Bayer Leverkusen also had a bad Saturday. He continued his nightmarish start to the season by suffering humiliation in front of his home crowd against Hoffenheim (0-3). Christoph Baumgartner (9th), Andrej Kramaric (34th) and former Rennais Georginio Rutter (78th) scored the goals for TSG, which occupies 5th place. Bayer is red lantern after this third defeat in three matches.
