No goalless draw yet
Bundesliga season 2013/2014 has already gained a record: No match ended in a goalless draw yet. Matchday seven saw with an average of four per game a lot of goals being scored. Borussia Dortmund won 5:0 against SC Freiburg while the matches between Hoffenheim and Schalke 04 as well as between Bremen and Nuremberg ended 3:3. FC Bayern and Bayer 04 Leverkusen beat their opponents VFL Wolfsburg and Hanover 96 with 1:0 and 2:0.
The match between Hoffenheim and Schalke saw six goals. The 2:0 by Matip in minute 13 is shown.
One thing seems to be certain in Bundesliga at the moment: goals will be scored. No match yet ended 0:0 – a record at this points of the season. Matchday seven last weekend saw a lot of goals being scored. An average of four times the referee had to point at the center spot in every match. Borussia Dortmund took SC Freiburg apart in Signal-Iduna-Park winning 5:0. Marco Reus and Robert Lewandowski each scored twice in the process.
FC Bayern Munich and Bayer 04 Leverkusen both won their matches against VFL Wolfsburg and Hanover 06 respectively. FCB beat VFL 1:0 despite being clearly in charge while the Factory Squad had no problems whatsoever winning 2:0 against a Hanover that like most times on foreign grounds delivered a very weak performance. BVB and FCB have 19 points with Leverkusen having 18 right behind them. Positions four, five and six are in quite some distance already as Hanover, Hertha BSC Berlin and VfB Stuttgart have twelve, eleven and ten points to their name.
Crazy match in Sinsheim
The match between TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and FC Schalke 04 was a rather crazy one as Schalke was off to a strong start with leading 2:0 15 minutes into the game. Hoffenheim got one back but Schalke set the score back to the old distance with Hoeger´s 3:1 just before the break. Second half however turned things around for Hoffenheim as they managed to come back and equalize with the game ending 3:3. Schalke´s management suspended Jermaine Jones after the match for the game in Champions League on Tuesday as a result of his bad performance.
The Sunday match between Werder Bremen and 1. FC Nuremberg came to a quiet similar ending as Bremen leaded early with 2:0, Nuremberg coming back and equalizing before Bremen scored the lead again and the Club also coming back again with the match resulting in the score of 3:3. The other game on Sunday saw VfB Stuttgart crushing recently promoted Eintracht Braunschweig with 4:0 despite them playing really well in the beginning and being the better team for most of first half.
On Saturday Hertha BSC Berlin beat FSV Mainz 05 with 3:1 and the first game of new HSV coach Bert van Marwijk between Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburger SV ended 2:2 thanks to a late goal of HSV´s Marcel Jansen. Same thing happened the evening before as FC Augsburg equalized during the last ten minutes in the match with Borussia Moenchengladbach also ending the match with 2:2.
