Overview
- Bayern beat winless Mönchengladbach 3-0 after a 19th-minute VAR red card for Jens Castrop, with Joshua Kimmich, Raphaël Guerreiro and 17-year-old Lennart Karl scoring and Kevin Stöger hitting a penalty off the post.
- The result extends Bayern’s perfect start to 13 wins across competitions, matching AC Milan’s early‑1990s mark for Europe’s top leagues.
- Borussia Dortmund edged Köln 1-0 through Maximilian Beier’s goal in the 90+6 minute, as Köln finished with ten after captain Timo Hübers suffered a suspected serious knee injury; coach Lukas Kwasniok fears a months‑long absence.
- RB Leipzig reinforced second place with a 6-0 rout in Augsburg, tightening their role as Bayern’s primary chaser after racing clear by halftime.
- Werder Bremen topped Union Berlin 1-0 on Marco Grüll’s 72nd-minute curler following a marginal offside check, with Union disrupted by an earlier injury to Andrej Ilic.
