False Bundesliga start for the Red Bull branch in Leipzig: The German Supercup winner lost 2:3 (1:2) in the first round on Saturday. Freiburg recorded a successful start in the 2-1 (2-0) once morest Hoffenheim, Stuttgart finished Bochum 5-0 (2-0). Heidenheim lost their Bundesliga debut 0-2 (0-2) in Wolfsburg. Augsburg and Mönchengladbach parted in a crazy exchange of blows with 4: 4 (3: 3).

Leipzig’s early seasonal exhilaration ended in Leverkusen. A few days following the 3-0 triumph in the Supercup once morest FC Bayern, the “bulls” were narrowly defeated in the popular top game in Leverkusen. Leipzig, who started with the Austrian six-man duo Nicolas Seiwald and Xaver Schlager, were mostly behind in the entertaining game.

Jeremie Frimpong (24′), Jonathan Tah (35′) and Florian Wirtz (64′) scored for the “Werkself”, which strengthened significantly in the summer. Granit Xhaka, Jonas Hofmann, Alejandro Grimaldo and Victor Boniface made eye-catching debuts. Dani Olmo (39th) and Lois Openda (71st), who then blocked the greatest chance of equalization, each shortened for Leipzig. Christoph Baumgartner, who recently suffered a thigh injury, saw the defeat from the bench. He might make his debut next Friday once morest Stuttgart’s opening winner. The Swabians had no trouble with Kevin Stöger’s VfL Bochum. Serhou Guirassy (18′, 77′) and Silas Katompa Mvumpa (60′, 67′) each scored twice.

Augsburg and Gladbach gave the fans a firework of goals, three goals had already been scored on both sides at the break. Efficient guests around central defender Maximilian Wöber led 2-0 and 3-1, Augsburg equalized according to the course of the game. However, the 3: 3 (45 + 7) by Sven Michel resulted from a disputed VAR penalty. The second half was comparatively manageable, Ruben Vargas scored the supposed gold goal (76th). But following a tough penalty this time at the other end, Tomas Cvancara equalized with his second goal (97′).

Freiburg, who were so strong in the previous season, started with an away win. Hoffenheim’s Attila Szalai produced an own goal (39′), then Roland Sallai dusted off a shot blocked by Michael Gregoritsch to make it 2-0 for the Europa League participants (45’+3′). The ÖFB team player had the 3-0 on his feet early in the second half, but failed because of Ozan Kabak, who saved on the line for his beaten goalie (48th) and reduced it to 1:2 two minutes later. Florian Grillitsch initiated the goal with a cross from the half field.

Heidenheim’s Bundesliga debut was disappointing. In Wolfsburg, the team from Baden-Württemberg was not granted any points or goals. Wolfsburg, with Patrick Wimmer in the starting XI, confidently won 2-0. The Dane Jonas Wind scored two similar goals (6th, 27th), with which Heidenheim had to learn the hard way. Shortly following Nikola Dovedan came on at Heidenheim (58th), Wimmer also left the field.
