Overview
- Borussia Dortmund surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Werder Bremen, dropping points for the first time this season after Ludovit Reis scored near the end and former Dortmund forward Niclas Füllkrug headed an equaliser.
- All four goals in the Dortmund match came in the final 10 minutes as Daniel Svensson and Nico Schlotterbeck put Dortmund ahead before Bremen staged the late comeback.
- RC Lens beat Olympique Lyonnais 2-1 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, with Florian Sotoca scoring the opener and Matthieu Udol adding a header before being sent off, giving new coach Yannick Cahuzac his first win.
- Málaga remained without a victory after substitute Adrian Nino volleyed a stoppage-time equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw with Espanyol, leaving Málaga joint bottom of La Liga after eight games.
- These results, coming after the international break, have already shifted early tables by denting Dortmund’s perfect run, ending Lyon’s unbeaten start, and intensifying scrutiny on coaching, squad depth, and preparation ahead of midweek European fixtures.
