Overview
- Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen drew 3:3 at the Weserstadion after the visitors led 3:1 against ten men, with Niklas Stark sent off in the 63rd minute before Patrik Schick’s 64th‑minute penalty.
- Scorers: Schick (5', 64' pen) and debutant Malik Tillman (35') for Leverkusen; Romano Schmid (44' pen), Isaac Schmidt (76') and 18‑year‑old Karim Coulibaly (90+4) for Bremen.
- Leverkusen goalkeeper Mark Flekken committed costly errors in the closing stages, including a misjudged excursion that allowed Isaac Schmidt to score into an unguarded net.
- Injury-hit Werder started Coulibaly, who recovered from an early mistake that led to the opener to net the stoppage‑time equaliser on his Bundesliga start.
- Elsewhere on matchday two, Eintracht Frankfurt won 3:1 at Hoffenheim as Ritsu Doan scored twice and assisted Can Uzun, and Wolfsburg drew 1:1 with Mainz after Nadiem Amiri’s late penalty.
