Bavarians slip up again…

Upamecano, Olise and Gnabry failed to hit the target . In this sense, it was no surprise that the duel ended in a goalless draw. Then, in the final stage, the team from Berlin was more daring in attacking terms and managed to scare.
Finally, the long-awaited goals!
Vincent Kompany’s men finally managed to break down the opposition defence. In the 75th minute, Leroy Sané , who had come on ten minutes earlier to replace Sèrge Gnabry , gave the visitors the lead after an assist from Olise .
However, Steffen Baumgart’s men managed to react and equalise eight minutes later. Manuel Neuer ‘s replacement, Urbig , made a poor decision on a seemingly harmless move and gifted Hollerbach a 1-1 draw . The final minutes were frantic, with danger lurking in both areas, but the result was sealed.
In the other matches on Saturday afternoon (15), André Silva stood out , making his debut for Werder Bremen , but was unable to avoid a 2-4 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach. Mainz could only draw against Freiburg (2-2) – former Benfica player Beste came on in the 85th minute – and Augsburg defeated Wolfsburg, with Tiago Tomás playing full-time, 1-0.
