Overview

  • Borussia Mönchengladbach promoted U23 coach Eugen Polanski as interim head coach after Gerardo Seoane’s dismissal and has stated the role is only until further notice while it evaluates other candidates.
  • Polanski’s first match finished 1:1 at Bayer Leverkusen, with Haris Tabakovic equalising in the 90+2 minute after Malik Tillman’s opener, giving Gladbach its first league goal of the season.
  • Despite the improved display, Gladbach’s league winless run stretched to 11 matches after starting the season with one point and a 0:5 goal difference in the first three games.
  • Eintracht Frankfurt lost 3:4 at home to Union Berlin as Oliver Burke scored a hat‑trick, with Ilyas Ansah also on target for Union and Nathaniel Brown, Can Uzun and Jonathan Burkardt scoring for Eintracht.
  • Baumgart received a red card for kicking a paper ball onto the pitch and will be suspended for Union’s next game, while he denied TV suggestions of a middle‑finger gesture; Eintracht leaders labeled their defeat the result of naive defending.
