BL: Leverkusen wander against Darmstadt, Stuttgart crushes Freiburg

After the draw snatched by the promoted Heidenheim on the lawn of Borussia Dortmund (2-2), the third day of the Bundesliga continued, this Saturday, with five meetings scheduled at 3:30 p.m. At the BayArena, Bayer Leverkusen, winner of their first two matches, wanted to continue against Darmstadt, severely beaten in the first two days. A meeting which started ideally for the men of Xabi Alonso, perfectly launched by Boniface who opened the scoring even before the end of the first half hour (1-0, 21st). A short-lived joy for the locals as Vilhelmsson equalized with a header in stride (1-1, 25th). Hanging on to the break, Leverkusen finally went back in front after returning from the locker room. Served by Jeremie Frimpong, already decisive on the opener, Palacios allowed his team to regain the advantage (2-1, 49th).

Dominating, the locals even took the break shortly after the hour mark thanks to Boniface who offered himself a double (3-1, 61st). Released, Bayer widened the gap a little more through Hofmann (4-1, 67th) then Hlozek (5-1, 83rd) and offered themselves a third success in as many matches. In the other games of the afternoon, Stuttgart created a nice surprise by crushing Freiburg (5-0) thanks to doubles from Führich (8th, 62nd) and Guirassy (17th, 19th) as well as an achievement from Millot ( 75th). For its part, Werder Bremen easily took the best against Mainz (4-0). Finally, Augsburg conceded a draw (2-2) against Bochum while Wolfsburg was, at the same time, inclined (1-3) on the lawn of Hoffenheim. In the standings, Leverkusen temporarily takes the lead ahead of Stuttgart as well as Union Berlin and Bayern Munich, who have a late game. Darmstadt remains a red lantern.
