The first multiplex of the 2026/2027 Bundesliga season offered a Saturday full of goals and surprises. Indeed, Elversberg created a sensation by dominating Bayer Leverkusen (3-2). The promoted club made the difference thanks to Lukas Petkov (8th), Cole Campbell (9th) and David Mokwa (46th). Leverkusen then reacted at the end of the match with Patrik Schick (77th), then Christian Kofane (90th+1), without managing to equalize. For its part, Cologne overthrew Hoffenheim (3-2) after being led, while RB Leipzig did not force its talent to get rid of Mönchengladbach (3-0) thanks to Ridle Baku (26th), Antonio Nusa (49th) and Rocco Reitz (66th).

In the German capital, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt offered a spectacular match (3-3). If the capital club had opened the scoring through Emmanuel Latte Lath (3rd), Younes Ebnoutalib finally scored a hat-trick for the visitors (10th, 11th, 67th). However, the Berliners snatched a draw thanks to Leopold Querfeld (79th) then Tim Skarke (90th+2). Finally, Mainz and Paderborn failed to decide between themselves (0-0), in the only scoreless match of the afternoon.
