On the 13th matchday of the Bundesliga, the top talents of the top clubs showed their class: Youssoufa Moukoko scored two notable goals in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 (3-0) win against VfL Bochum, for the lead of FC Bayern Munich 3: 2 (3: 2) away win against Hertha BSC provided Jamal Musiala.
RB Leipzig's strong form also continued at TSG Hoffenheim, coach Marco Rose's team won 3-1 (1-0).
FC Augsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt drew 1-2 (1-1), VfL Wolfsburg won 3-0 (1-0) at Mainz 05.
Beyond the sporting side, the World Cup in Qatar, which began on November 20th, was also a topic of conversation.
Due to the problematic human rights situation in the emirate, the fans of the clubs protested against the staging of the tournament with posters in several stadiums.
Youssoufa Moukoko is the youngest player to score ten goals in the Bundesliga.
The 17-year-old BVB attacker gave his team a fantastic lead against VfL Bochum: After winning the ball against Ivan Ordets, Moukoko took a few more steps in the direction of the penalty area before his powerful long-range shot first hit the lower edge of the bar and then flew into the goal ( 8 minutes).
The next BVB youngster increased just four minutes later: After a foul by Vasilios Lampropoulos on Donyell Malen, Giovanni Reyna took the penalty and casually pushed the ball past goalkeeper Manuel Riemann.
Bochum's hopes of preventing a thrashing victory were dashed at the latest when Philipp Hofmann's supposed goal was canceled via video evidence because of an offside position (27th).
Instead, Dortmund followed suit.
According to the video images, referee Tobias Stieler did not punish an alleged foul on Reyna with a penalty (43rd), but Moukoko was successful again from a distance.
This time, the striker, who can still hope for a place in the squad for the World Cup in Qatar, overran VfL keeper Riemann, who was too far in front of his goal (45+1).
The World Cup tournament had already drawn protests from the stands before the kick-off.
A large poster called for a boycott, and several banners on the south stand clearly positioned themselves against the hosts.
You can find out the background to the irregularities in the allocation of the World Cup and the human rights violations in Qatar in the podcast "Ausverkauft" on Spotify and SPIEGEL+.
FC Bayern Munich won a wild game in Berlin.
At Hertha BSC, after 38 minutes, it looked as if the game was over for the Berliners: Jamal Musiala had given Bayern the lead (12'), Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who again played strongly, reacted the fastest twice in the penalty area ( 37th, 38th) and the game supposedly decided.
But then Dodi Lukebakio shortened for Sandro Schwarz's team (40'), before Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard brought down Hertha attacker Davie Selke in the penalty area.
The man who was fouled started himself, Manuel Neuer, who made his comeback in the Bayern goal after a shoulder injury, had no chance (45th).
In the second half, Hertha defender Agustín Rogel scored in his own goal after a Musiala cross (57'), but due to an offside position beforehand, the hosts suffered a narrow 2:3 defeat.
In Berlin, too, there was protest against the World Cup in Qatar.
Home and away fans voted to add a message to their banners, highlighting the many migrant workers who have died in Qatar in recent years.

Eintracht then pressed, Djibril Sow (17th) and Dina Ebimbe (29th) became dangerous.
Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp saved with an outstanding reaction against Ermedin Demirović (42nd) just before the break.
Even after the restart, Frankfurt remained stronger, substitute Ansgar Knauff tried it for the first time in the 47th minute.

With Marco Rose as coach, things are going well at RB Leipzig.

A nice combination with Dani Olmo would have meant the Spaniard's quick 2-0 lead, but Nkunku went offside (31').
Hoffenheim equalized when ex-Leipzig player Angeliño perfectly crossed Georginio Rutter, who was unguarded in the penalty area, and headed in on the run (50').
The 1-1 draw didn't last long, however, as TSG goalkeeper Oliver Baumann blocked a cross at Nkunku's feet, who scored again to open the scoring (57').
On the counterattack, Olmo scored the final score with a powerful angle shot (69').
For Leipzig it was the eleventh unbeaten game in a row in all competitions and the first Bundesliga away win of the season.

The lead came after a set piece: A corner came down the second post from the right, Felix Nmecha kept the ball in play with his head and Patrick Wimmer fired from the turn (33').
In the second half, Nmecha hit the bar after a pass from his brother Lukas (58'), before VfL captain Maximilian Arnold increased the lead to 2-0 with a direct free kick (70'), with 05 goalkeeper Robin Zentner not looking good.
