Bayern 3-0 Union Berlin
Bayern Munich are currently unstoppable across the country. Riding on the outstanding performance of Harry Kane, who scored two goals and assisted once, the record-breaking champions defeated Union Berlin 3-0 to continue leading the Bundesliga.
It was a success against a Berlin team that has been strong this season, having kept clean sheets against Stuttgart (4-0), Bochum (5-0) and the German Cup against Mainz (4-0). For the league, it was only the second league defeat of the season.

Frankfurt-Bochum 7:2
In the German upper house, only one player can score alongside Harry Kane (11 goals, 6 assists): Omar Marmouche. The 25-year-old Egyptian should make a big return for Eintracht Frankfurt next summer at the latest, having also scored against Bochum. A well-placed free-kick – but the wall leaves him with a big opening. Mamouche also prepared two more goals and now has ten goals and six assists after nine league games.
In Frankfurt's attacking feast, Orele Armenda came on as a late substitute, Mamouche's good partner Ugo Ekitike also scored twice, and highly rated talent Kan Uzunyeme Open twice. This is the 18-year-old Türkiye international's first Bundesliga goal.
Bochum, on the other hand, are still waiting for their first win of the season. The Westphalians sacked former St Gallen coach Peter Zeidler after the seventh matchday but are under the dual leadership of Markus Feldhoff and Swiss Murat Ural , has so far failed to make progress. Instead, they made life difficult for themselves through mistakes and unnecessary goals conceded, like Ansgar Knauff 0:3 or Ekitikés 7:2 before.

Kiel – Heidenheim 1:0
Kiel Holstein makes history by defeating Heidenheim. The 1-0 victory was the North German team's first victory in the Bundesliga. Patrick Elas scored a historic goal in the 28th minute. The reason why we were able to win in the end was because Heidenheim's penalty kick was called back. While reviewing the video images, referee Frank Willenberg noted that Timo Becker's behavior toward his opponent did not merit a penalty.

Hoffenheim – St. Petersburg Poly 0:2
St. Pauli Football Club celebrates an important victory in Hoffenheim's relegation battle. With stoppage-time goals from Oladapo Afolayan and Andreas Albers, Hamburg won 2-0 and moved out of the relegation zone, much to the chagrin of today's opponents. Like St. Pauli, Hoffenheim have eight points after nine games, but a worse goal difference, which is why the Kretschgauer side are in the relegation zone.
