Hamburger SV - VfL Bochum 1:2
VfB Stuttgart - MSV Duisburg 1 : 0
FC Bayern München - Hannover 96 3 : 0
Bayer Leverkusen - Karlsruher SC 3 : 0
1.FC Nürnberg - Werder Bremen 0 : 1
Borussia Dortmund - FC Energie Cottbus 3 : 0
Arminia Bielefeld - Hertha BSC Berlin 2 : 0
Eintracht Frankfurt - FC Hansa Rostock 1:0
VfL Wolfsburg - FC Schalke 04 1:1
Not many upsets on this day. All teams who were expected to win did so. Dortmund was able to at least get out of their slump for one day by beating Cottbus in style. Klimowicz scored twice after being on the bench at the start of the game.
Bayern meanwhile look like champions already. They beat Bremen a week ago and were very convincing again against Hannover who didn't have any chance to score a goal. Bayern are now clear at the top of the table with 9 points and 10 goals without having conceded even one goal themselves.
Strangely enough the two teams behind Bayern are Bochum and Bielefeld. Those two usually struggle against being relegated to the 2nd division but this year it seems they might have a chance to go far. Bielefeld beat Berlin and Bochum won against Hamburg.
Bremen got the winning goal against Nürnberg and it was scored by upstart Martin Harnik, a young Austrian striker who scored in this weeks international friendly against the Czech Republic and who was also responsible for 1.FC Cologne (who won against Jena in their 2nd division match by rallying in the 2nd half and scoring 3 goals in the last 15 minutes after trailing 1:3) crashing out of the Cup competition against the 2nd team of Bremen.
Schalke almost blew it again at Wolfsbrug where they left points in the closing days of last season's campaign for the title. Frankfurt won against Rostock who are clearly heading for relegation. They have no points and are in last place.
Although we are only three days into the season things are starting to clear up a little bit. But the top of the table sure looks very interesting:
1 Bayern 10
2 Bielefeld 7
3 Bochum 7
4 Frankfurt 7
