Dejan Ljubicic gave FC the lead with his shot in the corner (55th). Before that, Gladbach's goalkeeper Yann Sommer had prevented a header from Cologne's Anthony Modeste (35th), among other things by reflex. Later it was Mark Uth after a bad pass from Gladbach's Florian Neuhaus (76th) and Ondrej Duda (88th) who secured the victory with a double strike before Sebastian Andersson (90th + 3) made the final score.

Even in the tenth attempt, FC Augsburg failed to win an away win at Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga, but at least one point was enough in stoppage time.
Markus Weinzierl's team fell behind because Robert Gumny made a mistake: In an initially harmless scene, the defender had the ball stolen from Marco Richter, who then had no problems scoring the goal in the penalty area (40th).
As a trained right-back, Gumny had to play in a back four for the first time - and at the side of Bundesliga debutant Frederik Winther: Due to an injury to Reece Oxford and a corona case in the vicinity of captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, the FCA was without his trunk -Interior defense there.
A second Berlin goal by Jordan Torunarigha did not count due to an offside position (80th), so Augsburg stayed in the game until the end and took the last chance: In a hectic final phase, in which Hertha's assistant coach Andreas "Zecke" Neuendorf received the red card saw Michael Gregoritsch equalized (90th + 7th).

Nico Schlotterbeck failed at the post (45th), only Philipp Lienhart was successful with his head from close range (51st).
The Freiburg leadership countered Sebastian Polter immediately with a tunnel against Mark Flekken (54th), who was even more unhappy with the second goal conceded: With Miloš Pantović's shot from about 45 meters, Flekken was too far in front of his own box and was easily overcome (82nd minute) .).
Goalkeeper Manuel Riemann held the victory for Bochum.
Fürth had seldom come closer to the first win of the season in this Bundesliga season than against Hoffenheim.
The lead by Jamie Leweling (22nd) was followed by a shot from the post by Timothy Tillman (32nd) - after the narrowly missed 2-0, however, the up to now defeated Hoffenheim got into the game better: Ihlas Bebou closed the counterattack after Tillman's chance Equalizer (32nd), Georginio Rutter headed TSG in the front (40th).
In an entertaining exchange of blows, the people of Fürth continued on the full offensive and came through Tillman (46th) to equalize.
But: Once again, the newcomer could not use his chances too often, so that Rutter put Hoffenheim in the lead for the second time with a fantastic flick (57th).
Bebou also scored again (62nd), an own goal by Marco Meyerhöfer then decided the game in favor of the guests (66th).
The direct answer from Branimir Hrgota (67th) helped the Fürthern, who have now conceded 39 goals after 13 matchdays, no longer to make a comeback - instead, Bebou made his three-pack perfect (80th).
