Published: 2026-09-12 17:37:53 |

SC Freiburg lead the Bundesliga after a 5-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach gave them nine points and a +9 goal difference from three matches. Borussia Dortmund also have nine points after beating newly promoted SC Paderborn 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park, but their +6 goal difference leaves them second. Fábio Silva opened the scoring for Dortmund in the fifth minute. Serhou Guirassy had two first-half goals ruled out for offside. Substitute Felix Nmecha then secured the win with goals in the 80th and 89th minutes, including a bicycle kick. Freiburg’s victory featured two goals each from Yannik Engelhardt and Igor Matanovic, while Maximilian Eggestein also scored. Mönchengladbach remain winless after three Bundesliga matches and have a -7 goal difference. Dortmund are balancing domestic competition with the Champions League after a 3-2 win over Villarreal on 8 September. Injuries to Giannis Konstantelias and Konstantinos Karetsas contributed to the club’s decision to sign Ethan Nwaneri on loan from Arsenal. Elsewhere, Augsburg drew 2-2 with defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.
