Concerns over the health of Alejandro Grimaldo overshadowed Bayer Leverkusen's 2-0 victory over 1.FC Union Berlin this afternoon.

As Eintracht Frankfurt found themselves on the receiving end of a 5-1 loss in Europe midweek, while Bayern Munich's fate was entirely different as they crushed Pafos by the same scoreline. 

Werder Bremen took on St.Pauli this afternoon and it wasn't long until the Weserstadion burst to life when the hosts snatched a 1-0 lead inside 2 minutes. Some smart play saw Njinmah cross into the box and although his ball was half-cleared by Eric Smith, Samuel Mbangula was on the edge of the box to hammer it into the left corner. 

Sandro Wagner demanded his side show a new face in his press conference on Friday and the Augsburg coach got that inside two minutes in what would be a dominant 3-1 win. Wolfsburg failed to deal with Mert Kömür's delivery which found it's way to the back post for Noah-Kai Banks to finish to the roof of the net leaving Grabara no chance. 

Kasper Hjulmand's men faced 1.FC Union Berlin at the BayArena this afternoon in what was a game of attrition as the Köpenick club brought a physical edge to the occasion. However, Steffen Baumgart's side also offered up an error-strewn performance which resulted in a 2-0 win for the hosts. 

An FC Augsburg side in desperate need of a win for their under pressure coach Sandro Wagner take on a VfL Wolfsburg team who have been rather short on luck in their last two outings.

After their 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven in Europe midweek, Bayer Leverkusen turn their attention to the Bundesliga once again as 1.FC Union Berlin come to town for Matchday 6.

Werder Bremen felt victim to Bayern Munich last weekend but they will be hoping to bounce back from that 4-0 defeat against St. Pauli this afternoon who are also chasing a first win since mid-September.

Bayern Munich's failed bids to sign Nick Woltemade and Florian Wirtz this summer garnered a lot of criticism for the club.

According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich's youth academy managers had been regularly inquiring about Can Uzun since the U12s.

After crucially finding the net in 1.FC Köln's 1-0 win over TSG Hoffenheim last night, much of the talk is about mercurial talent Said El Mala. 

Ahead of their Matchday 6 top spiel against Bayern Munich this evening, Eintracht Frankfurt have a bit of soul searching to do after their hefty 5-1 midweek defeat to Atlético Madrid. 

After 1.FC Köln overcame TSG Hoffenheim on a 1-0 scoreline tonight, coach Lukas Kwasniok couldn't hide his delight at full-time. 

After a seven-year wait for a Bundesliga return, HSV have been quickly reminded of the league’s demands. Just one point from their first three games - including a 5-0 thrashing at Bayern - highlighted the challenge. Recent weeks, however, have offered encouragement. Four points from their last two fixtures brought a long-awaited first Bundesliga win, beating Heidenheim 2-1 at home, followed by a positive goalless draw at Union Berlin.

Christian Ilzer and Lukas Kwasniok planned to go into the second international break of the season with a win. Both Hoffenheim and Köln enjoyed successful starts to the campaign, but they struggled in recent weeks.
