Leverkusen and Leipzig Triumph in Bundesliga, Freiburg Impresses

Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig emerged victorious in their respective Bundesliga matches, with Leverkusen edging out Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 and Leipzig securing a 2-0 triumph over Mainz.

Leverkusen's victory was hard-fought, with Omar Marmoush giving Frankfurt an early lead. However, Robert Andrich equalized for the hosts, and Victor Boniface sealed the win with a second-half header. Boniface had earlier missed a penalty, but redeemed himself with the crucial goal.

Leipzig, meanwhile, moved to the top of the table with their victory at Mainz. Xavi Simons opened the scoring with a solo effort, and Willi Orban doubled the lead. Mainz fans protested former coach Jurgen Klopp's decision to join Leipzig's parent company Red Bull, but the visitors remained unfazed.

Elsewhere, Freiburg continued their impressive start to the season with a 3-1 home win over Augsburg. Vincenzo Grifo, Philipp Lienhart, and Christian Guenter scored for Freiburg, while Phillip Tietz netted a consolation goal for Augsburg.

Borussia Moenchengladbach striker Tim Kleindienst scored a double in a 3-2 home win over former club Heidenheim. Hoffenheim also earned their first win since the season opener, defeating Bochum 3-1 thanks to goals from Andrej Kramaric, Marius Buelter, and Haris Tabakovic.
