FC Bayern - 1. FC Cologne 4: 0 (1: 0)
No team in Bundesliga history could win more often at Bayern than 1. FC Köln (nine times). Another victory came for the promoted on Matchday 5 but not added. The Munich left the Cologne for the start of the Oktoberfest no chance. And that was especially due to Robert Lewandowski.
The 31-year-old led Bayern with two goals to 4-0 (1: 0). Already 140 seconds after the kickoff, the Pole scored the 1-0 lead after preliminary work by Joshua Kimmich. The striker scored his 201st goal in his 250th competitive game for Bayern. An outstanding quota. It was Lewandowski's eighth goal of the season. He has now scored in each of the first five league games, which was last Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 2015/2016 season succeeded (and at last Bayern Carsten Jancker 2000/2001).
The Barcelona loaner Philippe Coutinho still put a free kick on the post (14). But then flattened the Munich game. Cologne became a little bolder towards the end of the first half when Jhon Córdoba (36) and Florian Kainz (41) failed.
Shortly after the break, it was again Lewandowski - and again he met for preliminary work by Kimmich (this time by corner). Season goal number nine for Lewandowski, who has scored eleven times in eight competitive matches. Coutinho was then knocked over by Kingsley Ehizibue in the penalty area. That gave red for the Cologne and penalty for Bayern. That left Lewandowski Coutinho - and made the 3: 0 (62). The Brazilian then prepared the 4-0 by Ivan Perisic (73rd).
The Cologne professionals, incidentally, wanted to spend the evening at the Oktoberfest. There is not much to celebrate.
SC Freiburg - FC Augsburg 1: 1 (1: 1)
The SC Freiburg is so far the surprise team of the season. Against Augsburg, the team of coach Christian Streich was even at the top of the table, after Lucas Höler had met 1-0 (24). But the former Freiburg Florian Niederlechner made up (39.) - it was already the third goal of the 28-year-old season (plus two assists).
The second half remained largely uneventful until just before the end Freiburg's Nikola Höfler (86.) and then Nils Petersen (88.) each hit the post.
With the draw Freiburg, last year still Table 13th, for the time being in second place. RB Leipzig, however, can overtake in the evening against Werder Bremen (18.30 clock / live ticker on SPIEGEL ONLINE, TV: Sky). Also Borussia Dortmund can leave the SC with a win against Frankfurt on Sunday (18 clock / live ticker on SPIEGEL ONLINE, TV: Sky) behind.
Bayer Leverkusen - Union Berlin 2: 0 (2: 0)
Leverkusen have a bad week behind them. Only the 0: 4 in Dortmund in the league, then the 1: 2 against Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League. Afterwards sports director Rudi Völler ranted about his own team ("underground"), and maybe that helped. Bayer had no problems at home against Union Union.
Kevin Volland scored the 1-0 lead (20 ') after being knocked offside offside three minutes previously. Lucas Alario increased shortly afterwards with a shot from 18 meters to 2: 0 (25) against very, very weak Berliner.
The Köpenicker had to end the game in the minority, because Sebastian Polter three minutes after his substitution hard against Julian Baumgartlinger and got red after intervention of the video assistant (66).
Hertha BSC - SC Paderborn 2: 1 (1: 0)
The table last against the penultimate, that reads like footballing light food. But at the home game of Hertha BSC against the promoted Berlins Javairô Dilrosun scored one of the most beautiful goals of the young season. The Dutch dribbled from the left outer line over 30 meters through the Paderborn back line and scored to 1: 0 (10th). However, Hertha's left-back Marvin Plattenhardt got the ball in hand before jumping to Dilrosun. The gate counted anyway.
After that, almost only Paderborn (60 per cent possession in half one) played, but Hertha hit. Again Dilrosun was unstoppable, flanked on the loaned from Dortmund Marius Wolf, and scored his premier goal for the Berlin (52).
One minute and 57 seconds later, however, Paderborn returned: Ben Zolinski scored the 2-1 (54th). Hertha had to thank the goalkeeper Rune Jarstein at the end, that no one of the total of 13 Paderborn shots landed in the gate. So it was the happy Hertha victory. The Berlin leave as Table 15. the relegation zone.
