Overview
- Two days after Vincent Kompany collapsed in training, Bayern beat SC Freiburg 3-1 on Sunday with Dayot Upamecano’s long solo opening the scoring and Michael Olise sealing the result in stoppage time.
- Sporting director Max Eberl said Kompany’s return is expected to take weeks, so assistant Aaron Danks and the coaching staff will lead upcoming league and cup matches while the club manages multiple absences.
- TSG Hoffenheim marked its 1,000th Bundesliga goal in a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen when Andrej Kramarić converted a penalty, but the match featured a serious head collision that left Loïc Badé stretchered and Alexander Prass sent off for removing his shirt.
- FC Augsburg announced it will file a criminal complaint after defender Juma Bah received racist abuse and death threats on Instagram following his red card, a response the club said highlights growing legal follow-up to online hate.
- Regionalliga results shifted local tables and exposed squad strain: KSV Hessen Kassel lost 1-4 at Walldorf and dropped a place, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen reclaimed first with a 3-0 win, and 1. FC Saarbrücken prepared for an away game with multiple players sidelined by illness or injury.
