SV Elversberg extended its extraordinary debut Bundesliga campaign by rallying from 3-1 down to defeat Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-3, with substitute Maurice Krattenmacher scoring twice, including the stoppage-time winner. The victory followed Elversberg’s opening-day upset of Bayer Leverkusen and made the promoted club an early contender, while coach Vincent Wagner watched the finish after being sent off at halftime. Bayern Munich also lost its place atop the table after being held scoreless by Schalke, ending a 67-match run in first place and marking its first Bundesliga match without a goal since February 2025. Borussia Dortmund completed a 3-2 comeback win over Hoffenheim, while Leipzig lost to Werder Bremen and Leverkusen earned its first victory under new coach Carles Martinez.

Wild that Bayern's streak ending gets buried under a stoppage-time thriller, but honestly Krattenmacher's winner earned the headline.
