BVB wins the duel against the neighboring table Wolfsburg 2-0. Martin Schmidts Mainzer sniffs the surprise against Bayern.
Manuel Akanji paved the way for Dortmund’s 2-0 win at home to VfL Wolfsburg with a great header in the 66th minute. The Swiss defender took advantage of a corner kick from Jadon Sancho and thus redeemed long-struggling BVB weather. Sancho finally closed the lid in the 91st minute after a quick counterattack.
BVB, with Roman Bürki in goal, were able to successfully organize the first home game with Lucien Favre’s successor, Edin Terzic. Thanks to the victory, Dortmund overtook Wolfsburg to fourth place in the table. There was also positive news from BVB staff: Erling Haaland returned after a month’s absence.
Renato Steffen started on the Wolfsburg side, received the yellow card in the 38th minute and was replaced shortly before the end of the game. Admir Mehmedi came on in the 71st minute. Kevin Mbabu spent the game on the bench.
Bayern turn the game around at Schmidt’s debut
In the second game on Sunday of the 14th Bundesliga match, Bayern Munich beat Mainz 05 5-2. At halftime, it looked like the record champions would lose a home game for the first time in more than 13 months. Mainz held a 2-0 lead in Martin Schmidt’s debut as sporting director.
After the break, however, the locals reacted: Joshua Kimmich (50th), Leroy Sané (55th), Niklas Süle (70th) and twice Robert Lewandowski (76th penalty / 83rd) changed the course in favor of Bayern. Munich once again seizes the top of the table.
