Overview
- Karim Adeyemi’s first‑half strike gave Borussia Dortmund a 1–0 win over Wolfsburg, keeping BVB unbeaten and in second place behind Bayern.
- Nico Schlotterbeck started for Dortmund in his first appearance after a lengthy meniscus layoff, reinforcing a three‑man back line.
- Union Berlin won 4–3 in Frankfurt with Oliver Burke scoring a hat‑trick, handing Eintracht a setback days after their Champions League high.
- Union coach Steffen Baumgart was sent off late in Frankfurt; TV images showed a middle‑finger gesture he denied was directed at anyone, and his dismissal will sideline him for the upcoming match against HSV with possible further DFB review.
- Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach drew 1–1, with Haris Tabakovic equalising in the 90+2 minute in Polanski’s debut as Gladbach coach to deliver the club’s first league goal of the season.
